Camping is a great time all around. You get to be in the great outdoors, enjoy a nice campfire or two, and maybe play some video games on your sweet PCs. Wait a second, that last one isn’t typical, but we made it a thing with the Ultimate Gamer Camper Van.

    Hey guys, when this video launched, it contained some erroneous information due to unit conversion errors that made the van's existing lead acid batteries sound like they had a lot less capacity compared to the DJI lithium batteries. Sadly, we actually caught the error before publishing but failed to address it properly. We have now cut that info from the video (apologies if you can detect a couple weird cuts) and are improving our processes to mitigate this happening again.. In the end, the DJI batteries are used to power the gaming elements, while the lead acid batteries power the van's functions. Altogether, Emily has effectively double the watt hours compared to before the project: the lead acid batteries are 400Ah x 12V = 4800Wh, but you can only use roughly 50% of the capacity of a lead acid battery, giving us a useable 2400Wh from those two batteries- plus the 2048Wh we get from the two DJI Power 1000s.

    Imagine enjoying the nature, temporarily forgetting about technology and annoying city life then seeing Linus’ family pull up next to you with this gamer van.

    Thread locker or compression washers/tooth washers are absolutely needed in anything that is on the road. It's amazing how even some of the tightest bolts will loosen up over time due to vibration without thread lock.

    22:18 "Another word for small is, compact." Short Boyfriend in the background: Nodding.
  • We are fulltime RVers with 2 gaming PCs. Recommend having adjustable vent ducts so they can push hot air outside in summer, and keep it inside for winter.
  • @sturdybutter
    Pretty sure calling work done by alex “jank” is a compliment at this point

    I use that projector almost everyday... I bought it for camping, which it works great for that but I found that its great for projecting on my ceiling when I am going to bed. Love it.

    That "free v-bucks" van would probably be a better kidnapper tactic than good old free candy
  • @NiSE_Rafter
    The guy in the background nodding eagerly in agreement with "another word for small is compact" while she just ignores them 😂
  • @JessicaFEREM
    I really like that that projector allows you to just get your own streaming box. so many smart TVs don't have longevity in mind and it's nice to know at least ONE company cares.
  • @ermtheworm
    I'd like to see Alex and James from Garbage Time hang out for an afternoon
  • @Robbaz
    Imagine a big battery bank and the upcoming amd strix point, lots of power anywhere.
  • @draco4799
    Not one for commenting, but I appreciate the videographer asking questions, it makes it feel more real and less scripted
  • @truejim
    In the military they deploy commercial electronics solutions in (like computers) in ruggedized boxes called transit cases. The computers are used as-is in the battlefield running inside their transit cases, like a little rack. That topic could make a good video: how the military uses transit cases to “ruggedize” conventional commercial hardware.
  • I never comment on YouTube but hearing our boy admit he was wrong was a breath of fresh air. Stay humble Linus, I’ve been watching you grown since the water cooled house
  • @Nyonthecat
    This is why I love Linus Tech Tips for the fun and crazy ideas man.
