This is your friendly vanlife neighborhood. Talk about everything vanlife from tech to shitdump.
The rule? Be nice and friendly.
Everyone’s welcome. The Hippie and the Hipster. The Vanagon driver, the Sprinter dweller. No matter where you from.
what are the stats on your solar/electrical system?
We have 4x200 watt Renogy panels on the roof for a total of 800 watts of solar. I DIYed a Lifepo4 battery using 4x272 amp hour 3.2 volt Lishen cells for a 12.8 volt nominal battery that can provide roughly 3500 watt hours of energy. The cells are managed with an Overkill Solar BMS.
nice, thanks!
I did that for a couple of years on and off. It’s not bad, when you can get cell phone service. Depends on the area, too.
Everyone's upgrading to starlink lately. Lack of cell service is a thing of the past.
I’m not getting fucking Elron Musk cell service. I’d rather die in a ditch.
I kinda hate the term vanlife
We fulltimers need to "reclaim" the word from the insta/YT influencer crowd.
This is day 1,774 offgrid for me.
Ayo! What a fun idea counting the days. I'm at day number 1,156. Looks like you've got a couple years on me.
