    I assuming for the Goal Zero if you had a 12v outlet already installed at the back of the van you could eliminate the need to run the connection to the front cab and just use the one in the back if you didn't cover it up access to it?

    I have a question. I just mounted four 100w solar panels on the van roof. I have a Jackery 2000 that I am going to be using. Do you connect your panels in series or parallel? I am not sure which will be better for boondocking. And, as always another great video. This is probably the 3rd time I have watched it. I did keep your video on the Maxxair fan instillation on the computer while I put mine on 2 days ago. I just wanted to check and make sure I was doing it right. Thanks again for all the help.
