2016 Nissan NV 3500. The second photo shows the "solar awning" , which can be set at the angle needed. The last one shows the awning deployed. New tires coming. We're looking into lifting her. We use her for full-time living and long boondocking trips mostly out west. We've done all the modifications ourselves. It is a stock cargo van.

445 watts solar + 100 watts portable
300ah battery
4.2 cu ft fridge

Thanks Dude! She's stoked for sure when camping so good to see her be herself, in the city she's kinda skittish and scared of cars and people.

How do you like the CTEK units? Don't hear a lot about them on here that I've seen, but they seem solid and like they solve a lot of other installation probs. . .

A few months back I bought a van with the plan to convert it and posted it up in this thread. Here's the ad from when I found it.

And a "before" photo.

And after several weeks with MG Metalworks and some new tires and wheels we took a family trip to Colorado:

Which greatly simplifies the whole process but I'm sure there's many of you who are thinking or planning to build a van much like I was for the past year and who are reading this thread for inspiration - much like I was last year. My entire build is documented in my thread: Not So Subtle E350 Shuttle. The van as I bought it would never have climbed this 13,000' four wheel drive pass in Colorado but with some time and money it is a very different beast indeed.
