Just bought a van

[Panda]

Hello all, I just purchased a city express a few days ago. Are there any dwellers in the Dallas area? I just signed up for membership at our local makerspace to take classes to learn how and install the modifications I'll want but wouldn't mind to discuss with an experienced camper and view their built up van. I still need a better understanding on how to install insulation, cut into my roof for a vent, and whether I still want to consider solar to power a small fridge (for a city van). 

Since I started researching van dwelling I've noticed (admired) so many vans out there (mostly utility vehicles) but I haven't seen any with solar panels, I'm wondering if these usually stick out like a sore thumb.
