I do like the Grey & Black............
wasn't meaning to be rude about the Green............ just sort of "hit me" when I looked at the piccie...............
Don't worry, it's still hitting me....
Very nice! Looks fairly bullet proof and if you could make your own water you could stay away from civilisation indefinitely with that amount of battery & solar. Another big trip in the planning?
Most definitely. Only downside is it will be in 2018. Possibly Tasmania and somewhere else.
Researching a micro water treatment system to solve the water problem.
Have you looked at the option of harvesting rain water from the awning?
Simple and easy ...it just needs to rain...and, in our case, it always rains when we're away. As said in a previous post, we can be self sufficient indefinitely with just a little bit of rain.
That's with the two standard tanks and only 150 of solar with one battery. I'd think with the extra capacity you're getting, that would be possible.
But then, our camping is very simple and I know we're not the standard to judge it on but it might be worth considering.

I never thought of you are one of those "Dooms Day Preppers" @peterg
but with a Van like that (and your water treatment system) - your all set mate..............

@Bank of Dad No idea we didn't look at JB vans in any detail. When I did my research Lotus kept coming up as the best range of features. For some reason JB were lower on my list. We weren't as concerned about $$$.
Ok. We have a JB Dirtroader and down the years, a few yet, I'd like to look at a Scorpion, so that's why I asked.....
With 4 150 watt panels would I be correct in assuming you have a 200+ litre compressor fridge?
Lovely van......very, very nice.

As I see it it's a way of maximising usable cupboard space. Where it is, is in a difficult space to access from inside.
