So this is mostly a for-fun idea I had. I was thinking about ways to be more stealthy and deter people from even being interested in the van in the first place. I was trying to think of what professions/trades would appear to deal with the least value in terms of tools/things that would be...
Hi all! I think i want to go with some dome-style fans in my van conversion. However, all of the dome fans i see are exhaust only.
Ideally i could buy a dome/can fan that does intake and exhaust, but i havent found this, so the next best hing would be two can fans that compliment eachother...
Thanks! Yea good call. Some others here are pointing out that there are some out-of-the-box low profile options for vents that I never considered. I considered the possibility of a horizontally-sliding maxxfan cover, but would have no idea what that would entail. Thanks for talking me out of...
Wow! This could very well be what I need. I am pretty sure this would fit under the solar panel. I tend to get fixated on brands, which keep me from sometimes going for the most practical solution for my needs. I was so fixated on getting the maxxfan vent 14x14 that I never considered there were...
Hi all!
I've been using a to-scale 3d model of a chevy express to start blocking out the furniture/layout of my chevy express. I wanted to show what I have so far! I have even the ladder rack 3d modeled to scale accurate to the 1/8 inch!
I think I can tuck away my vent fan underneath the...
Thank you! I am now leaning towards a single panel, because i dislike the mess of cabling that you get when chaining panels. Its cool to see that people get by with much less solar than i have been trying to get. Perhaps i havent done my diligence i actually calculating what my needs are. Ill...
Thanks so much. I do need to broaden my brands i look at, and i think i needed to hear this. Ill checkout santan and maybe some others i keep hearing about too
Hi all!
I have a chevy express, and I'm popping the door trims off so I can stuff it with insulation.
As you can see, I've had no issue with removing door trim where there are no controls present (Lock toggle, door handles, etc):
But for the doors with electronics/controls on them, I'm not...
Hi all.
I've been looking at how I can maximize the use of my roof space with different Renogy solar panels.
I've found that no matter how I arrange renogy panels, they are all either sticking off the edges of the van by about 3-4 inches (3x200w panels), or they are failing to make use of all...
Hi all. I took the time to get the front, left, and top views of the chevy express/savanna aligned to be to-scale, accurate to the inch, mapped to a Blender 3d file.
With this viewport setup being to scale, I can plan the accessories/solar that I want to add to my van using the program Blender...
The more I examine my options for mounting everything I need, the more I am leaning towards putting the vent fan underneath a panel to keep water from intruding.
Question: I see your panels are mounted on what look like stilts. Is that a roof rack, or are they custom legs for the solar panels...
