Jim designed my system. I’ve been able to run a 5000 btu a/c with no problem. Granted I did not park in a hot climate and expect to run it 24/7 but I ran it many hours on sunny days.
I bought a fabric dirty clothes bag at Walmart. If you're not going to do laundry for extended times, then a mesh one would be better. When it's full that signals to me that it's time to find a laundromat!

I have been living in a 2012 Chevy Express. With the help of Jamie's Van Build I have 800 watts solar on the roof, two Battleborn litium ion batteries, and all the best of accessories such as the Renogy Solar Charge Controller and Xantrax Inverter. Yesterday I bought a Class B+ 2005 Travel-Lite...

I'm trying to decide what I am going to put on the walls of my van. So far, I know I'm going to first put some sticky strips of RattleTrap. Then I'm going to insulate with maybe denim or cotton insulation (locally manufactured). On some video (I thought it was at Van Build, but maybe not), I saw...
