INSTALLING SOLAR IN OUR VAN -- Zamp Solar 120W portable setup

We've been really pleased with our van setup but could only spend a couple days in the middle of nowhere before our single 135mAh battery gets low. So we started looking at solar panels. Fortunately a friend of ours owns a solar power company in Taos, PPC Solar, and he was able to talk us through our options. We considered both mounted and portable options and eventually decided on the Zamp Solar 120P Charge kit (https://amzn.to/2LS7Kkd). Even though it's called the 120P kit, it's actually two 70W panels, for a total of 140W and we like how easy it is to set up and move around.

In this video we explain the full install (which was quite simple) and walk through how the solar panel and charge controller works.
