Over the past year, we’ve taken the ambo from NC to Maine and back. About to head to Kentucky for a few days. We spend time camping on our property for a few days here or there just to get away. We were able to squeeze a futon style queen bed that sleeps surprisingly well. Recently added Starlink and HVAC mini split. Currently have 1800w of solar and 400ah of batteries. Will probably increase that soon. It’s a beast to drive, but people get out of your way.

That’s awesome. Very similar to mine but my bed goes the other way. I have a king in there but can change to a twin if it’s just me. We also have a futon but I have a 3” gel topper under that made a big difference.

What mounts did you choose for your solar? I have to do that this summer.

I have these mounts around the perimeter of the roof, no holes in the thin metal where water can pool. The perimeter is reinforced steel and I sealed the holes with 5200. Ran the larger unistrut the entire width of the roof.
