My "Motor Home"

[Jim Long]

This M109 I converted to a solar powered motor home a little over 15 years ago. We have a Murphy that drops over the table and seat/storage boxes, Marine radio, CB radio and scanner. TV VCR/DVD player. We have a head and a pantry. 12V cooler and an ice box. It has only been on landline power once and that was to charge it back up after a battery failure. Separate battery box with five Optima blue tops for solar only.

That's quite the van! What is your fresh water setup?

It is a 20 gallon tank, surplus from an old camper. Really, the only thing it does is an occasional hand washing and toilet flush. I set this up in late April in the Sierra and take it down in November after hunting season (120 acres of private land.). So, bringing water up is not a problem Usually hauling ten gallons will suffice. In addition, We have water from a well and a spring on the property.

Looks like a nice setup.

I assumed everyone would understand that was about the living quarters.......I guess what they say about the word "assumed" is right !!
