To us, wiring and installing solar seemed like a very overwhelming and complicated task. Woody however, took it by the horns and figured it all out. We're happy to report that it's working exceedingly! Check out part 2 of 2 of wiring and installing 525 watts of solar on our 170 inch wheelbase, 4x4 Sprinter van.
Follow along on our journey while we build out a van, travel the world and Encompass Adventure!!
