My cabin is off the grid and water access only. Closest neighbor is 1 km away by boat. I'm north of the Sault Ste Marie, were the mosquitoes are as big as beaver.

(Objective) I am interested in building a stealth camping van using a Ford Transit Connect. I like the style and price of the 2013 model white contractor Mini-Van with the ladder racks. I only have enough room on the top of the van for two 100 watt solar panels. So max of 200 watts of solar...

Built a small system at home to learn about solar: (Tracer 40 A) charge controller, cheap 2000 inverter and 4 car batteries. Moved on to a cottage installation with 1kw of solar, midnite classic 150 and 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Now I am interested in building a stealth camping van...

I like the idea of using the 'power generator' platform as it will be removable and when the van is not in use. I can deploy it with a couple of suitcase panels for other matters that require portable sustainable power when a generator is not viable.

Just saw Will's last video about the Bluetti and will wait on the next model with higher voltage regulated 12 volt for appliances and quicker charging capability. Fingers crossed it will be out before spring. For me, since my solar will be limited while on the move to 200 watts, the alternator...

Here's the transfer switch from Will's sight..."MOES Dual Power Controller 50A automatic transfer switch..for $120 Cdn. Now I need a battery charger. The parts and prices are starting to pile up. Wish they had a "power generator" that did it all....
