If you prefer a prebuilt setup:
Try Bluetti!
Small - amzn.to/3JrXajz
Bigger - amzn.to/44200oX
Both of the above products require the addition of solar panels
If you need something compact and/or foldable then here are a couple we found:
100 Watt-12 Volt amzn.to/49YdZNN
160 Watt-18 Volt amzn.to/3Wkg1EI
If you have room to store rigid panels, try these:
amzn.to/4b9An88
We have them on our bus and they’ve been great for the price.

At least you have a positive attitude about your situation. I bet more than a few relationships went down in flames trying to live nomadically. Hug your kids, kiss your wife, because you are experiencing this life together. Small moments blunt the big disasters if you look. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family.
Bluetti has some solar generators now you can plug up a camper to it probably would have been better if you want with a camper
The bluetti stuff looks really good. But kinda pricey compared to buying the parts and putting your own system together. Although admittedly if we had the money we'd probably have one for a backup.
Hello, I have read many cases of people using diesel heaters and they seem to love them, a very good dry heat with no condensation. And you can buy them relatively cheap. Good luck hope everything turns out good for you.
We would love to have gotten a diesel heater but time and funds didn't allow at the time.
Cities are becoming aware of the situation and they are requiring all residents that live in that City to have a permit for each vehicle that they park on the street, trying to eliminate people who live in their vehicles, good luck on your adventure, GETS HARDER AS YOU GET OLDER
Trust me, we're finding this out. I feel like every day I'm saying the words..."I'm getting too old for this."
use wood for heat if you have the room!!!
The problem with a wood stove is that most insurance companies won’t cover you if you have one. Plus I wouldn’t dare put one in a traditional RV given that most of them are made of some pretty thin stuff.
@@CheapNomads My brother and his wife started RV life years ago. They bought an older RV and he completely revamped it and updated it from soup to nuts - to include the entire engine and electrical system. Sis n Law is a lucky lady. Anyway, my brother also said this one time - DO NOT BURN WOOD IN AN RV! Case closed.
NOT NOT NOT for me!!! Case closed! I could never live in a school bus. Or any RV. Just not for me. It is all the addiction and obsession now - EVERYONE on CZcams is pushing living in vans, RVs, motor homes, school buses, or fifth wheels - and they are pushing it so hard and aggressively that it is insane to watch. I KNOW it is not for me but I watch the videos becasue my brother and his wife have been doing this for years. They are OK with it and they even have two large dogs.
It’s not so much that people on CZcams are “pushing” this lifestyle. It’s more like they’re trying to use CZcams to fund the adventure. Our original plan was for the bus to be a fun project that would engage our kids outside the house more. Boy were they excited when I brought it home. They both would go on google maps and explore places they wanted to go. But living in it out of necessity instead of it being more like a camper has diminished some of the excitement. All in all I hope people watching can get a better dose of reality without us minimizing the good sides of this.
