- This project has been one of the most insane roller coasters I have ever been on. I have been struggling with it lately, but finally I am releasing an update for everyone.
We're driving from Alaska to Argentina, only using renewable energy in our 100% Electric, Solar Powered Camper Van.

I can't believe more people aren't interested in this. A solar powered motorhome that reduces living costs to almost nothing? Nah, is rather work my whole life for a 1/4 of an acre with a small structure on it. When when the next generation of batteries come out, this dream would be easier. They also have double sided solar panels now that would be good for this project. The awning could have these double sided solar panels. Xponent solar. This is exciting, life changing project you have!!
hope to hear an update from you. Hope all is well and that you have found peace again.
Thanks for the update. I appreciate everything you have done and wish you all the best.
You have not failed! You accomplished a lot and were an inspiration to many.
Take care.
Don't know how I missed this one at the time, quite a big update! Feels a tad ominous that we haven't had any videos since, but don't sweat it man, I hope you're just busy making progress. I'll just say that you have been and continue to be a huge inspiration and your drive to keep this project going is incredible. Honestly giving up would have been completely reasonable and understandable, but I think that you can do it, and I really hope you do.
I hope wherever you are right now everything is good
Missing your journey updates. Hope all is well and Route Del Sol is able to continue the dream. Solar needs to be our future and you are part of that path.
I don't recall getting a notification for this video and thought, "I wonder what has happened to Route Del Sol lately," and here you are.
Life is full of setbacks. I took early retirement in September 2019 to follow my dream of building my own motorhome to travel. I broke my ankle a week later putting me out of action until December. I started back on the project in early 2020 and COVID struck. All the music festivals I had booked for 2020 were cancelled and I rashly made a public vow, at the age of 62, that I wouldn't get my hair cut again until the pandemic is over. I haven't had a haircut since August 2019. The van has been started, ripped out and started again but is getting there. I might be able to sit on my hair by the time the world returns to some kind of normality but I'll get to achieve my much simpler ambition at some point as I am sure you will yours. A wise Australian once told me that an adventure with no setbacks is not an adventure, just a road trip. Your journey is going to make a much more interesting book than if you had breezed it. Keep on pushing forward. We're looking forward to the next chapter. No pressure.
It OK to go at the speed you, we all need. Slow is normal OK too
You were a forerunner of the future. Never, ever a failure. Ever. If you haven't already, dust yourself off, keeping looking forward and onward. If this project is part of your future, cool. If not, cool. Remember the good times.
Glad you are back. You are like the rest of us learning as we go. I was preparing to drive my dirt bike to Argentina when the virus struck. Will be on the road in the spring. Maybe I will see you on the road somewhere. Leaving from Vancouver Canada.
Literally, you could barely contain yourself. 🙂✌️
Joel! Thanks for the update on what you’ve been up to. Keep your head up and stay positive. Sounds like your Miami contact is a move in the right direction. Look forward to hear more in the future. Love ya man, be good… 🚐☀️
I'm late to the party, but wishing you success!
Not a failure! 🎉🎉🎉
Stay in peace, Nice update
Love to see this moving sideways a bit and still able to move forward in the future 🙌 😀 👍
Great video!
Cheers Forrest! I hope your project is going well up there in the Great White North!
Just discovered your project/ journey/ life today, 10 months after it was put on pause, wish you the best man, hope you can continue on your way.
I’ve always wanted to drive from here in Idaho to Tierra del Fuego, but this pandemic has wrecked my health. We do have a machine now though! Huge and comfortable, but it is also old and difficult to get parts for so Argentina is still out. More on ‘Leave The Driving to Russ’.
Take care.
I was only just thinking this morning what has happened to you, And well here you are👍
Keep going, my guy. I look forward to newe videos.
Nice to heard from you again, what a journey my man!!!! let us know how are you doing. Keep the adventure alive. Good luck, till then BYE BYE🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Me alegro mucho de que nos muestres la continuación del proyecto, felicidades!!!! Eres muy valiente!!!! Vaya aventura!!!! Mucho ánimo porque pronto podrás continuar tu viaje y nosotros verlo. Un abrazo
Bro, come back, continue your solar travel, take the video..💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
Good luck on your journey. Thanks for sharing 👍
Dude, you're a BEAST for trying to go 100% SOLAR! I could only dream of such an epic mission.
I had almost given up hope on your journey. I thought that you were going to walk away from the project. Congrats on your rededication and moving forward.
Thanks Jim!
Head's up. Things will work out. Looking forward to see your journey. I am proud of you that you keep standing up and not giving up. You are awesome.
Yes! Thank you!
Thank God, you are Back...
Saludos from cd juarez Chihuahua México...big hugh¡¡¡
Time for another video
Go go go!
Fantastic news for your proyect!!! Good luck in Miami 🙌🎉🎊🍾
The Adventure continues! There is something quite cathartic about shaving a beard off like that, almost like a rebirth.
It was a delight!
Keep your chin up digger.
Your humility sets you on your journey to success.
Thanks for sharing.
Route Del Sol - the resurrection! I'm glad things are moving for you, and hope you find more willing collaborators along the way. :)
I hope so too!
Happy to see that !
Great to see the update Joel. Hacia adelante y hacia arriba.
Hector!!! You are awesome!!! Thanks for the help.
:)
Exitos !!!
Nice to see you moving on man. keep on going, good things will follow. Cheers!
It's time to see you again. Glad you came back 🙂
Me too! Gracias!
I don't know how I missed this video, Joel. I am glad you were able to bounce back and that Shane is giving your project the help it needs and deserves. I look forward to the "unboxing" of the container in Miami.
Jajajaja for different things we did the same...hold the bear for over s year...good to hear from you!!!! If you still in Miami next month we will be in Miami, maybe this time we can meet in person!!!
This is the first of your videos I've watched. I've thought quite a bit about electric cars and solar panels and completely off grid mobility. It's excellent to see someone actually doing. You're an inspiration, and if you can continue after hitting what look to be significant barriers, that's even more reason to be proud of what your doing!! Keep going, you're doing great 👍
4:28 - That is one beautiful Scout!
Oh yeah that was a rad beast!
with out fail... there is no over coming and learning... so I do believe we all learn alot on your path... and I for one have learn alot.... I do believe enough time this can work... thanks for the video's and keep going
Will do! Thank you for your support!
Keep pushing foward. Hope the rebuild goes well.
I'm subscribing to your channel 😀
Thanks for subbing!
Hi! I just discovered your channel, it's an awesome project, even if things are not going your way at the moment, it's amazing to see how far you've come. I'm sure you'll have success in your future project!
Animo y a seguir subiendo los progresos. Te espero en Argentina
Been a year... you alright? Not worried about whether or not you moved on, just worried about whether or not you made it on out of there. Maybe just throw out a 'sign of life' post in the community page or something eh? I hope all is well for you man. Take care.
Well done!!! Now i know you are going to finish this, i will keep around to the end, you can be sure of it!!!
That's the plan!
Great to see you a back on the road !
Us too!
This life has a end. but it only once but but but there is after life. Just do good deeds.
Mucha cantidad de buena suerte, aunque la suerte no existe, pero si algo que conspira por tus sueños cuando luchas por ellos. Nos vemos en Argentina.
Gracias Y nos vemos!
Gosh....I wonder how our Aussie mate is doing... still in Miami? Or, on the road?
muy ben joel exito!!!
Sometimes failure is needed in order to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Without it, we would not know what Success is
Thanks for the update Joel, how did (does) Miami work for the project? Hope the van is coming along nicely, we really need to those new panels to work out well. Wishing good vibes and great success on RDS V2!!
Tim on Whidbey.
Love from south India bangalore
I want to do the same thing in a Cybertruck.
Good things take time!
Yes like scotch and cheese!
9 months later and no update..... I hope all is well. Much love.

Thank you so much!
Congratulations :) This really seems like a good step.
I think so too!
Excellent video, bro! I’m heading to Ensenada tomorrow to see our friends.
Have fun!
Ayyy, u in Miami now? Welcome.
Great update, hope you get motivated and funded to get back on the road, and starting from Miami, maybe head north and loop round for a test / re-acclimatisation to life on the road before heading off into South America to complete the planned journey.
I hope so too!
Hey man! Any news about the project? How is it going?
Trying that with a smaller vehicle would be a lot easier, don't you think?
Aúpa campeón!!!!
Gracias!
,💪👍 Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 Montevideo
Saludos!
Te esperaba
Sigue adelante por favor
Tu proyecto es el futuro de la vidaeda en furgoneta
Si por supuesto!
🌏🌎🌍🙏🙏🙏
Olá... fazia bastante tempo que não recebia aviso do YT, e estou "muito atrasado" para assistir seus vídeos recentes.
Sou inscrito desde quando a Van ainda estava no Alasca, e muito contente que agora tem legendas em Português.
Sou fã da mobilidade elétrica e tenho uma curiosidade desde que conheci seu projeto: porque o Brasil ficou fora do seu roteiro?
Did you put no straps on the van in the container?
any updates??
I didn't subscribed you yet. But thinking about subscribing you.
What was / is the Range with a fully Charged Battery from the Electric Van ?
So,,?
How are things going now??
I've not had any income since March last year due to COVID here in Oz, but there's always money to buy a deserving bloke a beer, so have just sent you US$10 via our website PayPal. Sorry it's not more, but hope you enjoy it 😎👍🍺
Recieved, Thanks so much mate! I really do appreciate your contribution, especially considering your own personal circumstances. Thank you very much!
UPDATES
update?
It's been over a year now, just wondering what's happening with this project.
There are new EV Vans out there now. Try again?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course it was a waste of time. You can't drive to Argentina. There's no road that goes through the Darian Gap. You have to push the thing 50 miles through the damn jungle.
This guy is a huge bullshitter
