- 2000 Watts of Go Power Solar panels get installed on the roof of the overland truck. Inside, the kitchen begins to come together as I install components to get them out of the way. In the garage area, the water is hooked up & I do the first test in my new shower!
Follow along as I completely outfit and custom fabricate my home on wheels. In this video series I will detail all of the components and build steps that go into completing the ultimate overland expedition vehicle build.

🧡 And Garmin said, “Let there be light.” And there was light, and it was good. 😉
Ha ha. True!!
Another enjoyable episode to the Bao Bab build project. Looking great Michael! Thanks for sharing
Thank you as always for watching!
As a guy who put 56 holes in the roof of his ambulance to mount his 1560w solar array I feel you! Something to think of for build #4, or for someone in the audience, I used a racking system from Signature Solar. It has short rails that the panels attach to with a clamp. The rails have a rubber bottom that offers an extra bit of protection from water intrusion. And, even if I have damage to my panels, and I want to replace them with something of similar size, the rails do not need to come undone, only the clamps that hold the panels to the rails. Thanks for sharing the build with us.
Thanks for watching. Good idea, that sounds like a neat way of doing it.
Excellent! Incredible tiny home on wheels! You have taken it beyond a whole new level! Wow! I'll bet there are a lot of jealous van builders out there! Keep posting regular and I know your numbers will go up. Especially when you start traveling again.
Thanks you again for watching.
I am very interested in the solar topic. Would like to know about shore power too when available and how it all works.
I will have an upcoming video entirely dedicated to power systems on board.
What was the deciding factor on going with 12v and not a 24v system?
The sytem was largely engineered by my build partner Go Power Solar. The 12 and 24 volt systems are very similiar when using as many charge controllers as I have. Some of it was size dependent based on my roof configuartion and space.
wondering where your bikes and kayak went?
The bikes fit in the garage with the motorcycle. The kayak was left behind this season
How are you handling exporting the vehicle out of the USA without ITAR paperwork?
To my knowledge this has never been an issue- at least one that I have seen. Technically I am not exporting it anyway as it is temporary and remaining a documented American vehicle. Also, the paperwork that released it from service and transferred it to non DOD use I believe would cover that.
@@drivetheglobe I asked because I noticed on one of the auction sites that has LMTV's and the like. Listed them as under ITAR control and require an EUC (End-user certificate).
I want to build a camper on an LMTV. But I know I'm going to want to take it to Mexico and Canada at the minimum. But, I know how ITAR works and I'm not dealing with that.
Are lights 12v or 110v?
Lighting is 12 volt
