    Dr Who might learn a few tips for the Tardis here.
    You can tell it’s not a “designed” affair; far more practical and frankly better than something that would cost ten times as much.
    I lived in vehicles for more than half my life, and enjoyed it, but I sure wish I could’ve had some of the creature comforts that we now take for granted. Lithium batteries and efficient solar are such a game changer.
    Lovely home.

      Most likely belonged to a National Guard unit, they only get ran maybe a few hours/miles a month, they sit about 95% of the time at many units. I was lucky to drive our LMTV at my National Guard unit almost daily as a supply NCO, so ours racked up a lot of miles, but a lot of military vehicles get little use. They sit and idle more than they get driven.
