Way Back In The 1970s,

more than a few friends went on trips,

 I mean road trips to the Continent, the vehicle of choice a VW camper van, well it appears the humble camper has gone full circle if this one is anything to go by, Brett Belen, mounted four 305-watt LG panels to a pop-up frame that tilts up to 40 degrees on his 1973 camper van,

 Brett, his wife Kira and their two children,

then went on a 1400-mile trip of the West Coast of America, the materials for the power train were made from easily affordable stock items, meaning that the maximum range for the 12 Trojan T-1275 lead-acid batteries was just 50 miles, but it was still a fun trip even with the limited range, for a full look at how the conversion was done and the trip itself have a look here, what a great way to spend a holiday.
