I think it might be really tricky though. Ostensibly the battery warehouse is in the base of the van, so that would definitely make routing utilities like waste water tricky. And not sure how you’d have a heater; electric heat would decimate an electric system and there’s no liquid fuel to speak of.
Remember: it’s only worthwhile if it can get you home too. I guess if you’re doing on-grid only camping it would be fine, but I usually build for a feasible 3-day off grid.
- dkjaudyeqooe 4y ago> And not sure how you’d have a heater Install a natural gas vessel. Heating, cooking and good for a generator too.

- doctor_eval 4y agoRe heater, wouldn’t you use a heat pump? As a percentage of the energy needed to run a heavy van, heating the interior space with a heat pump would be pretty minimal.
