Tam, you are keeping me awake at night I've been thinking about your trip in the Iveco.

This time you are going when you have the shortest days & lowest sun angle. I know you don't use a lot of power but I think you are going to struggle to survive with only 150 Watts of solar.

You are going to be fitting a B2B in the Vario what about getting it now and using it in the Iveco.

Tam no probs but perhaps you'd like to pm me rather than hijack your post

If your travelling regularly I don't think you will have a problem.
