Stupid dog movie trailer made me cry! Wtf

did you remember to vent your battery box to get that hydrogen gas out????

Hey Cycle Cruza love the vids, i dig your style! and i like how you put your baby together.
Can anyone give some insight:
I am working on a very similar project and i have a window of 50 more days before my schedule tightens back up. I need to get a solar system on my van quick style. I have a couple questions maybe you'd be kind enough to throw some ideas my way...
I want 1000 watts of panels as well. It seems extremely tough to get help on the subject though.
I don't want to get a kit because like making your own computer i'm sure there's better products available. This is what i need your guys' experience in.
Pretty standard:
If i had a 960-1000 watt panel system:
-What would be the best controller.
-What would be the best/Safest Inverter.
-How many batteries (I like the Vmax 155ah deep cycle ones)
-What should i use for fuses/fuse box
-and what kind of wire is safe to put it all together with. I really need to know what wire i will be connecting the controller to the panels because i need to run that wire and start closing up the walls.
Anything will help guys.. and if you happen to know a good source for more info (besides the cyclecruza.com website of course! )
I just want to make sure i put this together with the correct components. My budget is the exact cost. which means i'll be over guaranteed.) no room to fudge up -
Hey man. Awesome van. Have you had any problem with the solar panels coming loose from the adhesive? I'm still deciding between these and bolt down panels, but I'm still concerned about them falling off.

cut those nasty nails fool

Enjoying the information , thanks a lot ....

Outstanding work. Best grade of all products - AGM- Pure Sine- and definitely MPPT. You spent a good bit, but you would have upgraded or wished you had to this stuff. Glad to see you decided to rerun panels in series. With a smal array for what ive seen this is more efficient. Use as little wire as possible even putting the controller close as possible to the panels squeezes out every watt into the batteries as easily and quickly as space allows. Thanks for the video.

I melted some flexible panels having them directly fixed to the roof. The van was in portugal. its not just the heat of the sun on the panel. Vans are like big radiators and soak up heat. It took a hot summer and about 6 months of use, the panels died one after the other. 1 survives , and its not on a van !

I love how bad these videos are. They would be amazing if you didn't try to add attitude. Great content masked in white boiiiiii
-
How long do the bat. typical hold a charge?
-
Now that is has been more than a year since this video was released, what is your conclusion about the adhesive that was used? Did it stick?
-
Careful jumping your power source in parallel u dealin with a lot of amps. Thats 12 volt life tho, we runnin on amps, cheapest most cost effective way, just be safe.
-
OMG, gigantic batteries delivered? How much was that delivery cost?

Excellent video. I was especially interested in the solar setup. Thanks!

Oh yeah, I was thinking about a nearly new XL 350 Ford Transit Cargo with econoboost turbos. I usually don't like Chevy's having worked in automotive engineering for 15 years; but I see a lot of them and they are cheaper. However, it seems like more down time for the van too (but you already have your motorcycle ready :-) Any thoughts from you would be greatly appreciated. I got over 330 K miles on my 1994 Dodge Dakota from brand new V6, until I came to California: mechanics are ruthless in CA! For the HD Ford, I could see 200k/trans and 450k/engine lifetimes. You da' Man!

Dude! Great work. You really combine a lot of good things: the essential things (did I miss your bubble top installation?) You really cram a lot in a regular size van. I would like a high/long van, but at least I know it can be done in a regular size van now.
The bike in the passenger position is more critical in a smaller regular size van, but it is really the optimal weight distribution even for larger vans. That was really a stroke of genius since no other floor plans even have motorcycles that I've seen. I want to get the loading right for tire wear. If I get a duallie rear wheel 350, then it may not be as critical, but that is dead space anyway for now (maybe I can just have an alternative place behind the driver's seat to put that seat for balance.) Too bad you are the only one doing this, but you are doing a damn fine job!
Thanks Again! Keep it coming -
Yo if i was interested in buying the van how much would it be
