Shying away from laying out for a camper or RV for now. The TC conversion is a go.
Ordered the roof racks for the Transit this morning. Time to start the solar install for the van. I've been pricing solar kits. Renogy seems to be the highest rated for RVs. A 200w kit for the fan is under $500 shipped direct from them. If needed, I can add the third roof crossbar and two more panes to get to 400w down the road. The controller will handle up to 400w. I tried finding a deal on the kit, but direct is the cheapest!
Two panels direct mounted to the racks will fit perfect. Just gotta get it all installed, then find some deep cycle batteries and a 120v inverter. I'll wire up both types of outlets - 12v and 110v.

Buy the add-a-room for the awning to get some bug free sitting room at the campsite and modify from there as needed. Camp stove and my moto-camping kit will take up no room. The 12v cooler will work just fine and best of all, it's all paid for already. visitors can't see pics , please

Couple things to figure out. Ventilation with a fan and/or a compact portable a/c unit for 110v shore power.
This will be much cheaper than a camper right now, will be handy even if I do buy a camper down the road and all could be moved to an RV if needed.
