Van Power Work and Window Install

Another milestone day on Vandalf: the power system coming together and a window going in. Two more systems off the list, and the van keeps feeling more like a home.

/ Power Work

The electrical side is the part you don't see but you absolutely feel when it's done right — battery bank, charging, distribution, and all the wiring tied in so the lights, fan, and outlets actually work off-grid. Power work is patient work: every connection matters.

/ Window Install

Then the window — cutting an opening in a van wall is a commitment, but the payoff is light, air, and a view from inside the build. Sealed, framed, and in place, it transforms the whole feel of the space.

/ Power and Light

Power, light, and a window to look out of — Vandalf is becoming exactly what it was meant to be. Every build day stacks: this one added two more systems and a whole lot of confidence.

Until the next run out — work hard, play hard.
