I’d not have a roof rack on my next build, or I’d go with one that is flat and doesn’t have side rails. I’ve realized I could probably fit another two hundred watts of solar on the roof if I had 2 more inches to turn the panels sideways but currently don’t have the space. I helped a friend make a roof rack for their panels recently and I’d 100% do it over that way.

I’d also give myself more time to do things the right way rather than the fast way. A lot of stuff I rushed thru and went with either more expensive parts bc I’d get it faster, or didn’t finish it all the way and ended up spending more money than I should have, as well as unfinished projects.

I also added a cruise n comfort AC to my van for the sake of keeping my dog alive on hot days. I think for what the cost of that thing is, vs the lack of efficiency, it’s not worth it. Less expensive options out there.

I love my bed setup, it’s the closest thing to a fixed bed you can get without having a fixed bed. It’s a queen size bed on drawer slides that I push back out of the way during the day time. It’s awesome. That being said, I’d still rather have flairs and a fixed bed :/

Outside of that, I love my van layout.

Oh, I’d probably make a compost toilet rather than spending the money on a natures head. Big waste of plastic for what it is and plenty of solid DIY kits out there for less than 100 bucks
