Hi all. I am looking for some advice. I am about to buy my first van. I am not in too much of a time crunch, but I will be buying one in the next two months.
I am selling my house and plan to live in the van for a minimum of a year. I will be in Orange County Ca. Not sure about places to park it yet. I work at night and sleep during the day. My biggest question is about keeping cool in the van. If I am using energy from the van during the day how will it top of the batteries at night? I am not sure about shore power. Can I use a regular 110v plug from a house to top it off? If I run AC during the day can it run from a diesel generator? How much fuel would that use? Does the interior of the van heat up like a car does?
I am sure I will have a ton more questions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
