A bunch of atoms that are curious about the world, but furious about the society. We should help all humans to have a decent life without any strings attached, so that we can understand us, the atoms, and the rest of the universe. And create a smarter and saner society.

Since 2005 I make documentaries, write books, and enable many trade-free platforms for everyone.

Bluetti VS Custom Power System - videos.trom.tf/w/86uzfqsAHh86C…

This is the final video about our power system. Since we use 2 completely different and independent power systems, I thought we are in an ideal position to compare the two since we always switch between them.

On one hand we have a Bluetti AC180 power unit connected to 260W of solar, on the other we have a custom built power system with 2x100Ah 12V EcoWorthy batteries, a Victron 100/50 MPPT, and a 1000W inverter - all connected to 650W of solar power.

We will compare the specs, the costs, the reliability, upgradability and repairability.

This is my home

Oh no, this is my home:

Ot this?

Or this:

Or anywhere I can go with the motorhome.

For the past year I've been living in a motorhome. And my life changed so much. At times I love it, at times I am stressed and tired. But overall I think is the best life I can afford to live in today's society. I will make a video about this and about many things for our RideWithLess Peertube channel videos.trom.tf/c/ridewithless/…

Follow if you are curious :)

Water Heater broke so we Reinvented the Shower - videos.trom.tf/w/o7qh8y49JXELg…

When our water heater stopped working we felt like it was a big big deal. Of course not having hot running water is a very uncomfortable situation. But we reinvented our shower to have hot running water. A better system that is 100 times more reliable than the water heater.

Funny enough when we started to make the video about the new solution, our water heater came back from the dead and started working. Even so I, Tio, still prefer our new shower solution that anyone can actually setup in any van probably.

It costs 50 Euros and you need a water pump, a collapsible bucket, and a kettle.

I will copy paste from the previous reply :) :

It is this pump amazon.es/dp/B0D3XBHTN1 now I see it is more expensive. I got it for under 30€. But there are so many that are super similar.

Cares Trail - The best place we visited - videos.trom.tf/w/iyEMCZAfNjNZH…

If there is one place that we liked the most, it was the Cares Trail in Picos de Europa. Amazing trail between huge mountains. You feel so small, yet contaminated with awe. We found goats, little waterfalls, and saw snowy peaks. This is a place we must go again to!

This was a creepy place - videos.trom.tf/w/2pDZA7QkdP7QN…

We ended up in a place that was used for cultish rituals (aka: religion). Tens of big trash bins, lots and lots of garbage, fire pits...and signs about "virgins". Except that, the place was quiet and still ok 😃.

Motorhome DONE (7): The 3.2 meters long object we could not do without :) - videos.trom.tf/w/rc4GYZuXuhx4d…

We needed a ladder because the one that is attached to the motorhome is really not that good and useful. This is the last video in this series of "motorhome done", just to complete the tour 😃. Next videos will be a lot more interesting 😃.

Some motorhome updates :)

We are getting it ready for our South of Spain adventures, and overall to start the "journey". I managed to seal the entire roof to make sure it is as water proof as possible, we added 2 more solar panels and these days will add one more (so it will be a total of 650W of solar power - huge); and finally we put our satellite internet so we have unlimited internet everywhere basically, allowing me to work on our TROM projects :).

We spend our time near a river, in nature. But have worked pretty much every day on the motorhome. Lots of little things to do.

The view is amazing!

Motorhome DONE (2): We have a full kitchen in this 5.5 meters long car! - videos.trom.tf/w/9daMVr67FtV7u…

How much food can we store in this tiny 5.5 meters long motorhome? Despite being so small, we can store food for (maybe) weeks in this tiny house. Our fridge is small but actually super spacious, and Sasha managed to organize the food really well and compact 😃. On top of that this is the only motorhome that we've seen with an oven, which is super great!

We took out the cassette toilet and found rotten wood :/ videos.trom.tf/w/9kevhf7pmLtp1…

We will explain why we decide to go for a "dry" toilet instead of a cassette one in another video, but taking this toilet out revealed the nightmare for motorhomers: rotten wood. Water infiltration. But we fixed it! 😃

We got fooled by a good looking motorhome

Unfortunately our "perfect" motorhome is not that perfect it seems. After a mechanical inspection we decided not to buy it.

That's probably the reason she drop 2k so easily :)
From my experience when some one ok to drop the price quite significantly that's usually a bad sign. Unless it's your friend or the person you know. Normally if the stuff you are selling is good, and your price is not too high you not onging to drop it, unless maybe you are really desperate to sell it.

Good luck for your further searches.

Sorry to hear that man, I hope you can find a good motorhome that's actually in good shape and reliable. And giving it for a mechanical inspection was a good idea, better take your time and buy a good one than having to deal with issues later down the line.
