Hey kookz. I can only imagine what you're feeling after parting with the van. But life is all about change right? I will say that some of my best memories are going on van trips with my kids as they were growing up. Don't be afraid to get out and adventure with the baby. We did 4-week van trips when each of my kids were only a few months old! Fun to see the Team Cletus sticker in a few scenes too! Good luck and best wishes!

Team Cletus! We need a new one! Yeah we got the truck because we need something to help us with getting work done and the van was just sitting there not being used and we need to make the move. We are thinking of getting a travel trailer eventually.

I’m a bit confused about your wire size from your battery to the inverter. You said you’re using #4 from the battery to the inverter. That’s ( if it’s thhn) only good for 95 amps. A 12 volt battery feeding a 2000 watt inverter could produce 166 amps (2000/12=166.6). sounds like #4 would be inadequate. Why would a person use a 200 amp fuse with wire that’s only rated at 95 amps? Maybe I’m missing something.

New chapters are always fun! I bet selling the van was a bit emotional in a good way. I am looking at your van building course online, if I understand it correctly the "van conversion masterclass" course includes both the "power your van" and the "DIY van conversion" courses, plus a few other extra tutorial's?

The plastic in a lot of newer vehicles is plant based ( soy ) so it attracts rodents, especially wire coatings . The brand name drier sheets are what we use to keep rodents out of our rv in storage, and balsam oil works well too just coat the plastic.

I did a fairly detailed analysis of a larger system comparing a brand name DIY vs. the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra 6kw battery/inverter combo. The Echoflow was roughly 20% less and provided more features like 220v (Should you need to do some wash or welding from your RV) . I would love to see you duplicate this as I have limited knowledge of the subject.
