Purchased a van for the purpose of sleeping in it. Plans is to upgrade the antenna system that will give me greater range.

Anyway, a little detail about the van. I purchase the Van from SC. It was formerly a telephone truck and has been modified with a extended roof and electrical system. The electrical system has no use unless 1) it is plugged into a power station or 2) converted over to work with a solar powered system. I would rather seek to convert it to work with a solar powered system (wind power as an addition).

In order to accomplish this task, I will have to remove the air/heating system that is above the van. And than I can lay two 4/panel systems on the roof. This is coupled with an antenna system that will carry fm/am/shortwave/tv/wifi and two-way radio communications.

But first I need to talk to someone who is familiar with incorporating the solar panel into the vehicle infrastructure. This is coupled with the construction aspects of this job.

I must factor in cost, before anything happens, since it must correspond with my overall goals.

Anyway, I find sleeping in my new vehicle a breath of fresh air, compare to my car. However, the car is still a better way of saving gas on longer trips outside the area.

Thanks for reading.

Chris
