Nothing bad to say about the sponsor product, but I HATE the term "solar generator." It is not a generator. It is a storage battery. It uses a solar array to charge a battery. There is no generating happening. If you are trying to cross-sell to people who use generators, educate them, don't just pander.

This was amazing 💖 I RARELY see vanlifers with illness or health issues and I have a chronic illness and this has been my dream since I was a teenager. I get psyched out sometimes because even though I did move out on my own, I've still always had that one solid spot to go to when I'm done backpacking or traveling. When I get really sick I regret NOT buying a van when I was healthier... BUT I'm motivated again. I am! I want to get my van and see all the things😭✨️ Thank you!

Beautiful build. I'm most likely going to be getting a 2022 Promaster 2500 in the coming weeks myself, after my house sells and I have the money in the bank to start the process. Really just looking forward to not being tied to one place anymore, freedom to go and photograph what I want, where I want, and change it all up on a whim. So many choices on how to go about it that it's almost overwhelming, but a lot of fun designing the interior at the same time. Definitely like the flip up access to the cooler better that the slide out design. Less concern about the cord getting hung up, pull out, pinched, etc.
