    Adjustable Roof Mounts?

    I'm looking for an adjustable solar panel roof mount that is able to tilt up on both sides.. DIY ideas/links welcome. I've only been able to find mounts that tilt up on one side, I'd like to utilize as much sunlight as I can! Thanks.

    Covering Insulation?

    I was actually thinking about using some type of fabric. Do you have any recommendation? Doing this kind of thing isn't my forte. Any advice helps. Also with the 1/8" plywood idea, I was also considering that a while ago before I bought my van.. then I figured I would use plywood to cover my...

    Plastic film over windows?

    Darn. Probably won't go forward with this idea. I clearly didn't put much thought into it. Good thing I posted a question about it before I went forward. Thanks! I'll just get an electric blanket with a low kwh for winter, hoping I can find a decently efficient one.

    Covering Insulation?

    Perfect for my budget! I had a friend that used thick wooden boards to cover up her insulation and it added a ton of unnecessary weight to her van. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll head to a few places and see what I'm able to find! :)

    Plastic film over windows?

    I'm currently vandwelling in my home state of Minnesota and don't plan on chasing the sun this year. Winter is a few months away and it's going to be the first winter in my van. While living in an apartment I always had the option of covering my windows with a thin plastic film and using a hair...

    Candles during vanlife?

    Does anyone have experience with lighting/using scented candles in your van? I love candles.. they're so relaxing.. but idk if they would work in a van. I feel like I could still light a candle in a van, but I also feel like I'm not putting enough thought into this (or too much thought). I...
