Thanks for stopping by. For van build updates, trip updates, and more, check out the blog below. New posts every week or two.
I've updated my van's power system to incorporate the new Bluetti Apex 300 power station, which offers integrated MPPT solar charging and DC power expansion at a lower cost. This hybrid setup simplifies the installation by eliminating the need for a dedicated inverter, with AC power running through the Apex 300 and DC components hardwired.
July was challenging for the van build due to high temperatures, but I made progress by installing the roof rack and solar panels, and adding Kilmat sound-deadening panels. Despite setbacks with threaded inserts, the project continues to evolve with upcoming tasks like wiring the solar system.
