Self-sufficient with solar in the camper VW T5

THE PROJECT

If you have manual skills for a solid interior design of the camper, you may only need support with the electrics and upgrading to a higher degree of self-sufficiency with solar. With the VW Transporter, you can mount the solar panel on the roof, comparable to the California, with the help of an aluminum sheet constructed by us without drilling or gluing. The cable routing to the driver's seat is hidden in the vehicle pillars and under the interior paneling
