MB it’s interesting how you managed with just a 35 Ah solar panel and a 200 Ah battery.
The setup i’ve chosen should be enough to run led lights and charge batteries for the radio, walkie talkies etc. and i can also use the inverter.
I chose the folding solar panel with built in charge controller instead of a fixed panel on the van as it can always be used at home if there is a power outage.
Now.....you’ve won the pint.....yes.....the van is white.....and it does strand out like a sore thumb when parked in the middle of a green field. A parked camper van or trailer caravan would be one of the first places to look for food, gas bottles or any useful gear.
If TSHTF and we are able to get to our chosen BOL the van will be well hidden behind (or inside) a barn, that is if we see the warning signs and BO early enough.
As for hiding the van, last year i bought three dark green tarps, each 5 x 4 metres, i think i need to improve on these and will look for large camo ones if we are stuck on open ground.
