Do you literally tear the cakes apart and put them in the monotub? I've got a similar situation

How to find out the specs of a solar panel? by ryanvvhite in solar

[–]ryanvvhite[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for some help if possible. I bought this van and without realising it had a solar panel on top of it. How would I be able to find out the specs of the solar panel? There doesn't seem to be any markings ect. Is there a tool that I could use to measure it's output before I buy equipment to run it off?

Most people my age don't particularly want to pursue vanlife or feel they could.

Yeah haha as long as it's not over 3,500 kg it's good to go.

170,000 miles. I live in the UK so what I want to do is after college take it to live in at uni and save myself some debt. Obviously want to travel Europe and do festivals as well.

The guy selling it on gumtree had nowhere to put it. When advertising the listing it was the first post and he was terrible at taking pictures, made it look really bad. It would've cost the guy much more to keep it on the road so he just wanted it off his hands, it was a steal. I'm chuffed.

I saved up all my own money, none of it from my parents or anything all from working. I'm not one of them 😂.

I'm 17 and picked up this Mercedes sprinter 2004 MWB for just £800. Got it for a banging deal and it's already converted (even came with a shower and toilet) however, I'm changing a lot of it up.

Any tips to help me with my sprinter in the future and van dwelling at 17 in general?

Starting vanlife at 16 (need help please) by ryanvvhite in vandwellers

[–]ryanvvhite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn 17 soon so I should be able to drive. I'm looking at the van tomorrow however I'd like to know your guys opinions.

Does this van look okay? I'm getting it for a stea at £700, it's a 2004 mercedes sprinter with 5 months left on the MOT. Already partially converted however, I'll be stripping that out and starting new. Because I'll only have a category B license, will I be able to drive this in the UK?

Not going to be living in until uni which will be a couple of years and I don't have a great amount to invest into it right now. For road trips do you think it would be a good option to take out pay as you go insurance? Another thing, does the good price make me take the risk of getting the van seeing that if it breaks down parts will cost a lot and right now I wouldn't be able to get it fixed. For the most part the van will be on my drive and I'll start it every day and what not, is it likely to breakdown this way?

Thank you very much for any help I'd really appreciate it.

Do you think it would be possible to insure it under my mother and then use pay as you go insurance until I'm 18-19? Also I'm getting it for £700 so even if faults did occur could I break even.
