Hello from the land of snow!

Hello everyone.   I am in the process of converting a cargo van into a stealth camper.    I have been lurking here for months and have gotten lots of good information.   Thank you everyone who posts here.

If you want to read about my story, I am blogging it.   https://livingonthestealth.blogspot.com/2017/01/for-reasons-too-complicated-to-go-into.html

Welcome to the CRVL forums Joe! You've put a lot of thought into this! It's not clear from your blog whether you have already bought a van or not but we do want to see pictures of your build!

To help you learn the ins and outs of these forums, this "Tips & Tricks" post lists some helpful information to get you started. We look forward to hearing more from you.

You have a very nice conversational style for your blog. We'll be cheering for you! In that climate, don't forget the insulation!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome messages.   Here are three shots of the floor plan I am thinking about and will post about in the blog maybe late this week.   

The three attached images are the start of an electrical diagram, a floor plan and a plan at roughly counter height.

Hi and Welcome!!

Welcome, and can I have your chicken-rice-curry recipe? Haha!

ETA: WHOA! You're going to have 6 Trojan 105s?! That's alot. How are you going to recharge them? The build looks left-side heavy...

I am thinking of a 315w solar panel on the roof and have purchased a Tripp Lite APS1250.   Do you think that enough?   I would like to have enough battery power to run the van for ten days if I have to with some minimal living.

Will I notice the left heaviness of it?
