    Very informative, done your research well, if I may add, make sure any adhesive is heatproof !! as soon as hot sun hits metal it will soften adhesive, anything affixed will sag and lift away, the ceiling major !! headliner really prone as well, applies to anyone re-covering old headliner fabric .. you're a knowledgeable young lady , keep on keeping on !! 😊

    Wooo new vid! I’m about to start my van and using your vid’s for guidance is gonna be so helpful! Is there anything in the beginning stages, insulation material choices/furring strips/maxxair fan install/rust prevention/rivnut choices whatever, that you would do differently now that you have lived in your van for a while? Would be super helpful to know so I can avoid issues in my build! I live in sweaty gross Australia so my issues aren’t cold insulation (I love the cold, I should live in Finland Im that heat intolerant, no joke) so your insulation choices in action are what I’m really curious about!

    Lot of these components are redundant and useless. DC-to-DC charger isn't needed with such a large solar system. Same for solar isolator and cutting a hole in the side of a van for sure power that you'll never use.

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Actually, for the last three months I’ve had to rely solely on the Orion and shore power to charge my batteries since I was up north in the winter time with no sun. So each component does have a time and place 👍🏼

    My van I'd stationary. 1990 Ford economize high top. Been staying at same spot 6 yrs, haven't moved. But it's at my office complex so need to remain stealth as possible,,, not be making area look like a camp build. I think rigid on roof us still stealth enough.. if don't have any space between the rood and panel. Is there any reason why the solar panels should not just lie flat against van roof?

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Nice! My solar panels sit on top of a roof rack, but you could certainly forgo a roof rack and install them directly on the roof. Personally I did not want to drill more holes into the roof which would potentially lead to rust and leaks. Also, if I ever want to rearrange my roof setup, I can do so without leaving holes in the roof. Lastly, sometimes heat build up can occur between the roof and solar panels when directly on the roof. Thankfully, my roof rack rails help to hide what I have on my roof and gives air flow under the panels. Hope this helps ☺️

    what size screws did you use for your pocketholes?

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For 1/2 boards it’s recommended to use 1” long pocket hole screws. For 3/4” boards it’s recommended to use 1 1/4” long pocket hole screws.

  • @gim1998
    @gim1998 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    was it difficult to run the wiring after the insulation was put in the thin holes? how did you make sure you didn't screw into the wires when you were installing cabinets etc?

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Nope! Just push the installation back a little and there is plenty of room to run wire. When I screwed the cabinets in place I screwed them into the furring strips which is in front of the wires so no issue there.

    Lauren I really messed up. I’m so mad at myself. I cut a hole off center and now the front fan doesn’t sit flat. Can I just put butyl tape on that little divet and then screw the frame on? Then lap sealant? I’m so mad at myself

    • @LaurenLawliss
      @LaurenLawliss 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey there! It’s okay - from my experience there is always a way to fix things. I would use butyl tape under the uneven surface and build it up to fill the entire gap. Then make sure it is sealed well with the dicor lap sealant. Deep breath, you got this!

We put a tarp over it propped up on a bench to create a tent and then taped it down. it never got wet thank god. This morning the sealant is still squishy... we leave for a road trip from stl to LA in 11 days and it cannot be pushed back. i feel like i just keep messing up!
