I bought all these solar components and then separated myself from the project before figuring out how to put it all together. A lot of what i learned has already fell out of the brain. Remote Meter LCD Display (MT5) for Solar Regulator with 2 Meters Cable...

Yeah, fo sho. The amount of work you would be saving yourself having all the insulation and walls up already is, just, incredible. Install vents, windows, smaller AC, whatever. If you can afford a rig like that and the insulation is all that it's cracked up to be then, that's it. Skip right to...

A good question. Thank you. My priorities have changed so much since starting this project. If I was going with my original intent to travel more, I would have just bought a minivan and hit the road. Toyota Previa maybe? haha I've invested a lot of time and money into this little home now and it...

...more dirty details to come...

The internet's a wonderful tool. Thanks to everyone who puts the time in to share their knowledge. I'm starting to make more of an effort to give back to the internet community. To all the lurkers out there, best of wishes. So I left you in the dark for a long while there. Here are some recent...

I have read it. That thread is more geared toward personal safety. I have a good idea of what I'll do if someone tried breaking in when I'm in it. In fact, here's my plan! I'm going to install a simple alarm and speaker wired to a switch or two in the van. I can switch it on if I feel it's...

I get a little separation anxiety from my things. Can't Imagine leaving my van too long without some added security from thieves. Has anyone here installed extra deadbolts to you're vehicle? What else do you do? An alarm system is the obvious one, but how much can this be done for realistically...

Salvage the rare earth magnets inside!

My box van has a cabover/moms attic and I think that's a huge plus. Putting my bed up there opens a ton of design options. After putting in real thick insulation the floor is still 88" wide and the height is 80". Stepvans are good looking. I think they get less of a creepy vibe to be honest...

and this is the desk. It's made of some more random hardwood floor. The four squares under the window come up and under is a tracing board for crafts and such. Still need to install some lights under though And I scored a Mr. Buddy heater from the thrift store :)

This is what the kitchenette looks like right now. The countertop will will also work as a cutting board. I wood glued too planks together, cut it to size and then tried too hard to make it black while being food safe. Pretty much let a bunch of food color soak in and then steamed and torched...

Sorry fellas. Left town for a little while... And no, not in the box. sure am glad to be back going on this thing though. Now it's time to take some pictures.

6 dollars a day is the budget and you can only buy cold food. It can be done. Even without a cooking facility AND being gluten free, it can be done. Just eat a ton of raw produce and peanut butter! Canned beans too! Shop wisely. Cool part about EBT is with every transaction you get your balance...

Thanks everyone. I'll throw up some more pictures soon!

Human meat's pretty tasty :P

Yes sassypickens. This is what I got going on for the couch as of now. Had to cut apart my old bed for it. I tried using my styrofoam cutter for the back funky shaped piece on the actual wall,... I wanted to create a little slant on there too so it wasn't too upright. it kinda worked. That type...

Okie dokie. Update! So I've been here working on this much, much longer than I originally expected. It's undoubtedly the biggest project of my life now. Not upset in the least bit though. It's been fun as well as frustrating and the results are satisfying. The biggest project within the project...

Guess again Patrick. But you got to get over here and check this rig out in person already. Ask Kyle where I live if you don't already know. I'm pretty much always working on it.
