Interesting.

Now, this guy is rigging these systems in a van.  Not... where I'd be doing it.  I'd have a lot more room to work.  That is, in a, say, 7' x 16' to 20' toy hauler or cargo trailer.  Still, if he can jam these things in a van, a trailer would be easy.  Mountings to hoses, wires, and else, would be terribly easy.  As well, I could get most of this up in the front, leaving the back end for hauling things, or for a minor vehicle or two... think bike and atv.  Yes, this... could work.  And, it is more recent.  With more modern tech.

All by one guy.  He seems to be on top of things, or at least... seems to be.  Oh, and he is about my size?  I guess there are a few more around than before.











Of course, there are problems.  I sort of expected such.

Will have to see about some things.  Though, if I could find a place to boondock, someone who would allow me to camp nearby?  Just traveling from time to time?  Or, even just renting a plot of land, with an electrical outlet, somewhere out of the way?  Who knows.  But... there might be ways, yet.

Can't guess the price of any, or all, of that.  But I have done some pricing on solar.  And, I'd guess, say, $10k to $15k, max.  Though you could push that to $20k to $25k, if you wanted a 48 volt system.  Not sure it would be needed, but... maybe.  The water system wouldn't be too bad, nor really are the heating and cooling.  Still, they would add up.  I'm guessing, say, $2k per other system?  So, say, $8k else?  So, really, I am saying somewhere in the neighborhood of $25k, unless you went whole hog and overboard on several of the systems.

Well, and that is before bed, cabinetry, tools (if I have most of those), and any trim.  For me, I'd have a larger shower area, but have more room.  I am thinking about turning the whole v-nose area into the shower.  The toilet might or might not go in there, though probably.  But I want more room to shower, even to sit in there if need be.

Oh, I could see it, if I got enough.  Oh, and the trailer type I am looking at, new, would run around $10k.  So... $35k, plus, say, another $5k for a reasonable interior, flooring, trim, and else?  A custom, tricked out camper, that would definitely work, summer or winter, for $40k?  Yea, I could do that.  Plus I'd know how everything works, where to get to everything, I'd even have the manuals for pumps, and tools, and... else.  And I bet you can't even buy a mobile home, not for a million dollars, that would be better built, designed, or functioning... even with me as an amateur doing the work.  Sad but true.  Money means nothing anymore, to anyone, but the holder... and only if they don't actually understand economics.

Check.

Anyway... it's about time I get to work.  Which I'll do.  Later.
