  • Mike has spent years traveling the world in custom overlander rvs, and he has perfected the art of converting vehicles to tiny homes. This is his 3rd overlander tiny house, and it happens to be a retired military truck that he's modified into a modern and surprisingly spacious home on wheels.

    My wife and I had a very similar solar/Aircon setup on our last rig and just in case anyone is curious, those little window units take very little power. I picked one up at Walmart for $150 so yeah, I agree they're a great solution and if it ever fails (they rarely ever do) you can easily afford a new one and there are Walmarts everywhere. It wasn't mentioned in this video, but we could run ours on 425 watts of power, on high cold (full blast) and since we had 1,200 watts on the roof it never even drew anything from the batteries. There was enough power left over that we could also run the microwave, watch TV, etc. all day long AND keep the batteries fully charged. We didn't start tapping into that reserve battery power until a couple hours before sunset but had plenty of juice to keep powering everything in the rig until around midnight every night and still had about 20% to 25% on the batteries by morning which with lithium is still well over 12 volts but then the sun comes up and begins charging them back up. Rinse and repeat. A decent-sized solar setup with lithium batteries is one of the best investments you can possibly make with an Overlanding rig. It's expensive at first, but SO well worth it!

      Most likely belonged to a National Guard unit, they only get ran maybe a few hours/miles a month, they sit about 95% of the time at many units. I was lucky to drive our LMTV at my National Guard unit almost daily as a supply NCO, so ours racked up a lot of miles, but a lot of military vehicles get little use. They sit and idle more than they get driven.
