Have you thought of adding a roof top A/C unit? For when you’re parked up. The A/C compressors are powered by battery power. Rather than being powered from the engine, like your van A/C. You would probably need to work out your solar capacity to make sure you can run the A/C with minimal battery usage in the day. I don’t think they’re that expensive either. And for what it’s worth…. I would go to Bali! Bali is lovely

@@neilp2375 yeh we thought about it. There is no space left on the roof without getting rid of some solar, which then makes running the unit harder. We have 400ah lithium batteries and 525w of solar.

I disagree. Most of what we put through there is just water. Occasionally mixed with some soap. It’s no worse than people washing their cars or cleaning driveways. I also don’t subscribe to this attitude of ruining it for everyone. That’s such a UK mentality.

Bali…Kuta avoid….u will maybe land there but head away, anywhere..Ubud is nice, I rented a shack in a “ complex”😅, had proper authentic food ( optional in evening….it was worth it to get the duck which is stuffed with things like coconut u have to order that 24 hrs ahead as it’s cooked underground, Māori style…omg that was good. Nice salads too..like sprouty salads with lots of good bits and bobs, food was amazing! I hired a jeep and I picked up 2 girl tourists who came along, beware the police trying to bribe you……they told me the road was closed ahead, and the only way was by a huge diversion…but they did mention there was a possibility they could “ work out” a way for me to sneak thru…lol
