In July of 2024 we bought this factory-built (or coach-built) Citroën Jumper with a Pössl interior. The layout suited us but the van was not designed for off-grid living. We were going to need to rectify that – STAT!
After doing a complete Van Build back in Australia, we had a pretty good idea of what we were going to need.
So we came to Wales to my cousin’s workshop in the woods, and over just 13 days we installed a brand new 12 volt solar system, to keep us powered up as we travel around the back roads of Europe.
