I love the awning and mobile solar farm on the roof.
You could park at grocery stores on Saturdays and charge people to plug their EV's in to your rig to charge while they shop.

Interesting---what make, model, brand, size etc etc?

I see:
A single 30a DC to DC from the alternator
and 120A from the Multiplus drawing from shorepower/ generator / EV charger
What model MPPT unit are you feeding the 1000w solar array through?

Victron SmarSolar 150|70 MPPT

It's a RecPro 12ft powered awning. The LED lights are Latchit LED awning lights off Amazon.

Open the door, pop out the awning, and throw out 2 chairs. Camp ready in under a minute.

Love it. That's the beauty of vans and even more so with your rig. You don't even have to pop a top.

Thanks! I'm 6' and I still have headroom.
I have the 12ft box truck. Yea, it's a little longer than a EB van, but the same width. I can park it anywhere.

The corners are metal. The front is aluminum, and the rear is steel. Very stable.

Having flat, square walls has been a dream.
The day I got it:
