    Getting on well with lockdown van revamp,but a couple of weeks I began to ponder how van life wil be during and post this pandemic.I came to conclusion that things in the future will have to change,so decided to build a totally off grid set up,I'm not much of one for campsite,preferring Aires and out of the way stopovers,so now I've added extra water tanks bringing capacity up to260 litres,upped the solar to 300 watts with enhanced controls and battery capacity,and bigger pantry!Along with a few other tweaks I reckon I can stay off grid for many weeks at a time,adding an occasional fuel and food shop.As soon as we are able to travel I will be putting my theories to the test,and find out if totally Mad!
