Thanks for the video. Sorry for your loss of Koko. My first visit to your channel and was expecting an Atto 3 rig? You definitely have a robust 48v DC system.
That's a terrific setup! Super impressed by the planning and forethought and the hours and hours of work it would have taken to modify everything. I wonder how long it'll be before manufacturers start to design retail models with the combination of aerodynamics, weight reductions, battery capacity and charging/power flexibility for consumers. Sadly I feel like it is a way off, but this should be the blueprint for anyone looking to modify and existing setup. Is there anything you would do differently if you were building it again?
Yes it does, and quite often that is what we use. We probably use it more often than the KOHNs as it is easier to swap between charging via the van, or charging directly from the caravan park. I'm not sure why we used the KOHNs in the video now!🤣
@@ursodermatt8809 they also overheat if stuck to flat surface. We only got a year of useful like when we put 3 flex panels on your sprinter even with a large air gap so no panels touched the metal roof.
if your cars mirrors are not wider than the caravan allowing you to see past/along the length, then you're not legal regardless of camera, this i believe applies for all states of australia i believe
We can see the legally required amount with the car mirrors, just not behind the caravan.

Thank you for the in depth walk around & explanation. Definitely a pioneering setup for EV adventuring.

Do you think it's possible to build a flexible wind shield that connects the car to the caravan making it act like one long vehicle?

Oh... So many things!!
So many in fact that I'm toying with the idea of starting from scratch on a whole new van.
Watch this space 🤣
@@AttoGalsEVAdventures custom chasis, built around a Model 3 battery pack?
Would the tesla UMC work in your setup? Any reason you went with the aftermarket charger?
Yes it does, and quite often that is what we use. We probably use it more often than the KOHNs as it is easier to swap between charging via the van, or charging directly from the caravan park.

Can you tell us what the flexible solar panels are
flexible solar panels are flexible like the name says.
i would not use them as the wafers break very quickly.
