Quick Van Build

Quick Van Build

This video is about how I started my YouTube Channel.  Along with many, I became  homeless in 2008. I never want to be unprepared again.  So, I began to make plans to build a disaster recovery vehicle.  Eventually I began my search for a van. Number one, I added Solar Panels one by one. Number two, I built a solar generator, which includes a solar controller, AGM deep cycle batteries, and a pure sine wave inverter. Number three, I customize the interior with a folding bed and small kitchen.

This website is also about the Honda Odyssey itself, covering maintenance issues and modifications. This van conversion or quick van build camper is going to be my disaster recovery vehicle if a natural disaster occurs.

Off-Grid Prepared

Are you off-grid prepared? Seriously, if a natural disaster occurred, do you have 3 days of food or are you ready to possibly live in your vehicle? This website is my project. Watch my mistakes or successes in building an off-grid vehicle.  My selection after my exhaustive search is a 2002 Honda Odyssey. Check out project steps for everything needed to install solar panels on an any vehicle. Solar panels charge the battery system, so I can run a refrigerator, lights, and charge any devices. I also use my van as a camper to test everything in a real life off-grid scenario. 

Even though you should have 3 days of food.  Really you should have 2-weeks of food and water.
