  • I’m converting my old van into a small travel home and need a steady power source for lights and a small fridge. I don’t want to rely on generators since they’re noisy and smell terrible. Any reliable solar options for this kind of build?

  • A van builder shared his experience after getting a kit during solar power Black Friday sales, and it turned out to be the perfect off-grid solution. He installed compact panels on the roof paired with a small inverter and ran all essentials — lighting, fans, and charging ports without draining the car battery. The setup handled long drives and cloudy days easily. It’s honestly the smartest upgrade for anyone turning a van into a self-sufficient space.
