Laura shane spent two years converting their ford transit 250 into an adventuremobile.

Ford transit connect van solar panel setup.

The ford transit connect camper van conversion involves taking out everything in the back of the van and cramming in a tv dvd player microwave small cooler style refrigerator solar panels on the roof a roof mounted fan and under bed storage. Adjustable tilt mounts can get you better efficiency on the roof or work as a stand if you are using portable panels. First i assembled and drilled all the necessary holes into the panels and the z bar aluminum. Solar cable glands bridge the gap between the roof and the interior of your van.

Now they ve just wrapped up their latest project setting up two solar panels on their van s roof. With an adjustable tilt mount you can install solar panels with or without a z bracket. In this video i explain some testing i have done on the dometic cf 50 12v refrigerator. It has a wifi hotspot backup camera sync 3 bluetooth fordpass remote start features and all the stuff you d find on a normal transit connect.

They learned about insulating their walls installing a sink and floors and decorating their tiny space. I also try to explain my reasoning and methods used to determine how. We inserted the positive wire from the solar panels into the positive solar terminal on the charge controller then did the same with the negative wire. Now the solar panels were charging the batteries.
