Good work......I can see that this will be a fine build!

This looks awesome! Love to see the whole van, side shot.

Mr. Indecision (me) bit the bullet and bought batteries! Thanks for everybody's input. I went to local battery store (battery and bulbs) and spoke with the owner and my battery requirements. I decided against the AGM's because they were $290 each times 2.....no thank you. I went with 2 duracell...

What do you think of this battery for my 100W solar kit: http://www.batterystuff.com/batteries/upc-telecom/UB12750-45821.html Price is right $128....It's AGM deep cycle and 75Ah too. I'm really trying to avoid wet battery where I'll need vent lines. I'm only going to need it to sustain a small...

LeeRevell, there is a BatteryPlus just 30 miles from me! I'll stop by during the week and see what they have. Thanks!

RogueRV2, can you provide me with some links for 12V 100AH batteries (true deep cycle)....I have Walmarts, Costcos and maybe a Napa within driving range. I searched their websites but it becomes overwhelming with a billion different choices. I really appreciate your input! My budget is $200 max...

This is what i ordered specifically. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFCNFRM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Freshly installed the panel today! Can I get some recommendations on battery to buy? My requirements are running a small 12V fan at night while sleeping, powering my fantastic fan on an as needed basis, a small Mr Coffee and possibly a small LED TV. Would a single 12V battery suffice? Perhaps an...

Just ordered this kit from Amazon...it seems to have great reviews. I see alot of folks with 2 deep cycle marine batteries....is this the way to go with this kit? More amp hours, right? I'll probably run a 1000W inverter with it.

Yes, a salvage yard would be a great idea...I've been looking at craigslist too. I may end up just building something...thanks!

Hey there ladies and gents...just installed the Fan-tastic Vent Fan, Model 1250! I plan on getting solar installed in a few weeks also...Question is does it make more sense to hook up the Fantastic to the Solar/Battery 12V configuration or just tap it into existing 12V auto config? Thanks in...

Hi everybody. I'm hoping to build a bed/seat combo that will sleep two but also serves as a seat with seat belts. Has anybody done this? I know the VW has such an item and have seen some foldaway models on the internet. The key is that I want to build a camper van but also would like to safely...

Hi Folks! Just picked up my first van: a 2006 Ford E150 cargo van with a small V8-107k miles for $8300. It's absolutely cherry. It was used for floral delivery and all highway miles. I pulled the cargo mat, removed the front seats and scrubbed the floor because of a major ant infestation below...
