First build. With solar?
Found a deal on a diesel 2004 Ford e350RB cargo van. 200k miles, but it came with new tires, rebuilt trans 30k ago, and new starter. Drove it home 5 hours with no issues. I eventually want to add 4x4 but that's the last on the list. I think I already figured out how I'm going to do the insulation. Also found a deal on some new 2018 Toyota Sienna seats. Hopefully shipping today. Now I need to figure out swivel bases for the front.
Also looking into adding solar. I'd like to use larger panels. The common size for 200-260w panels seem to be around 65" x 40". Has anyone seen them mounted on a rack at the top? I could fit 3 of them widthwise. But I'm worried about how the overhang looks. Or is there a better way to get 600w-1000w.
I'm disabled, so progress is slow. But so far I've removed all the comercial lettering on the sides. It needed a new windshield so I had one installed with a tint strip. Removed all the shelving and cargo gate. Sanded all rust spots and used jb weld as a gasket on the bolts to plug holes. Sprayed all sanded rust areas and bare metal spots with rust converter. Then used some Rustolium spray bed liner on the floor and bottom panels. Have the first layer of insulation halfway finished. Covering everything with foil backed sound deadener. Still need to finish that up and tape all the seams. Haven't started on the roof yet. Still debating about venting/vents.
