>>1679665>claims to be a welder>lives in poverty-tier shitwagonI assume all of your money goes into meth and ketamine then
>rainy with solaryou realise solar charges in the rain, right? it rains almost every single day here, and I charge to full every single day. because I sized my system appropriately. You have to drive to charge your batteries, which I can also do.
>100’ shore tapsure, if you can find an outlet. I can pit my battery in my backpack and charge it in a starbucks while fucking around on my laptop, enjoy doing that with 140lbs of AGM, after they call the cops on you for bringing a bomb into the building
>r-value vs solar outputdude I have 2” of polyboard and spray foam insulation on all walls and the ceiling. my shit stays hot when I want it to be, and cold when I want it to be. it works exactly the same as a house would you fucking dipshit
>paying for vanlifeI work in STEM and have grants from school, and my parents kicked me money. I also lived a year in the trunk of a kia (the literal trunk, curled up like a cocktail shrimp), and a ford econoline. I lived in poverty-builds, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to get a hightop transit and commit to the lifestyle
>advicebecause I actually researched what I’m doing and then did it. I learned how to do things from scratch, and built the entire van on my own. solar? i did it. insulation? did it. furniture? built it all on my own. why would I waste time and money on shit that doesn’t work when I don’t have to? I had TWO PREVIOUS BUILDS to learn what didn’t work, so when I asvise somebody to insulate their van, it’s because it’s far nicer to lounge in your bed in a 70°F van that’s ice and toasty than a 45°F van that turns into an icebox as soon as you turn off your mr buddy
also, the transit was $25k. if you are actually a welder, and can’t get financed for that, then you are a turbopleb. stop hating, dumb cunt
