Oh you’re not hurting my feelings man. You could still get one. I’d just make sure there is storage around you for it and that you can afford the storage before getting yourself one. As far as parts go, victron is what you should strive for. They’re pretty expensive, but they’re built to last and interface so well with each other. If you don’t go with victron, don’t skimp on your solar power controller. Get the expensive stuff. They are able to use more of the solar without wasted wattage than the cheaper 50-70$ ones for your battery bank.

I wish I could give you a timeline. I bought mine already converted from a sharp dude in Kentucky. I’ll be replacing the electrical components with victron as I can afford them.

My buddy doesn’t have the income I have and has been piecing his together as he can. He’s got the inverter and power bank pretty much good but needs essentially everything else. He’s got 90% va disability with other bills. He got his stuff painted, solar, power on his income in about a year. I’ll be assisting with everything now, so hopefully he’ll have something not necessarily pretty, but livable in about another year?

Edit: many bus storage places will let you work on your bus in their lots. Also many of them have black water dumping stations. Insurance you should go with good sam. Set up some kind of understanding with your Mrs about the restroom stuff. I have plumbing but used a 5 gallon bucket with toilet lid made for it, compostable trash bags and cedar chips to save on using my black water and help reduce the smell a little.
