For anout 800 you can get a solar system, 2 marine batteries, and a small dc fridge. Minus 300 to 350 if you skip solar for another charging source (i love solar tho). Shouldnt take up much more room than a cooler. The thermo electric fridges are nearly worthless and just drain battery. A dorm fridge is doable but kills batteries in about a year (experience here). Insulation is a yes for extreme weather, but can skip it if you plan to snowbird (move with mild climate).Martin Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256106018909568533[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139907054478890572.post-46600383755019946352016-04-13T08:23:35.:002016-04-13T08:23:35.:00I am grappling with whether to camp with flashligh...I am grappling with whether to camp with flashlights and cooler or to install house battery for lights, thermoelectric cooler and fans. Simplicity versus complexity. And size concerns. I have a Nissan NV200, a small cargo van. Wall insulation? Yes or no?Gary Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891769129485846206[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139907054478890572.post-55528935870290712542015-01-12T07:17:39.482-05:002015-01-12T07:17:39.482-05:00Thanks a lot jon, thats what im goin for, i hope i...Thanks a lot jon, thats what im goin for, i hope it helps someone out<br />Martin Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256106018909568533[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139907054478890572.post-75347875468371872642015-01-12T01:43:44.997-05:002015-01-12T01:43:44.997-05:00This concept is brilliant.

Good thing about them tho is they are so long you can cut them for additional curtains in a lowtop van.
