How about this?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CDNFH7M...8ec6c9cf1a0INT

It currently has a 40$ off coupon you can click. so 150 for a 100w folding solar panel.

What would be the best way to make a plug to be able to say... throw a folding solar panel ontop the awning and plug it to the van? I'd rather not drill any new holes. So maybe just have a lose cable on the roof i can plug with a dummy plug when a panel is not plugged in?

Just took her on a trip to Talladega national forest. Cheaha state park. The park and trails were awesome

Was the first real trip, spent 5 days living in it. Boondocked one night at a campground.

The batteries can run the fridge, and an electric blanket all night easy. Water tank lasted the whole trip without filling up. I'm falling in love with this van!

Still adding an awning, upgraded solar, and cargo on the roof in the rear very soon. Possibly selling it towards the end of the year? Not 100% sure yet

Yes, that’s what these vans are all about! Glad you took the chance. It was s tough decision for me as well, and I’ve never
been sorry. Though I do envy your beds!!!
Mine is not even close to being comfortable...especially for someone with a bad back!
Happy Travels........��

Upgraded the solar with 2x 160w panels. used bed-frames from amazon to make a roof rack. Some cool pics!
