Totally solar powered motor home

[MGfromBC]

This is about a totally solar powered motorhome built by technology students in the Netherlands.  According to the article it is currently on its 1500 mile shakedown cruise between the Netherlands and Spain.  

It will NOT DO STEALTH.  I wouldn't go too far off the paved roads.  The design is a combination of function and aerodynamics that left very little for style.  Though, they did try.

As a concept vehicle and a nod to the future, I'm captivated.  I'm going to look around a bit more to see if I can find a bit about how their trip is going.

Not solar powered, but still interesting, E-RV.

No word on pricing yet.

The Sylvansport also looks more like it could get down the dirt road to the camp site. They both seem like promising signs of things to come.

Wait, 12'3" wide?
I figured that was a misprint but the page uses that same number in the text.
Naa, gotta be an oops.

I think they are including the kayaks hanging off the side. Not sure why, but you know...'marketing'.

I posted a few years ago about a VW bus that had been converted to a solar-powered camper, so I don't agree with the claim of "world's first". It didn't have the range and cooking would need to be a solar oven to make it completely solar.

Not a good vehicle to have for evacuation during a hurricane.
