 That’s epic 
 Thanks. This will be very helpful building an offgrid homestead 
 Very cool
Also 10/10 pun 
 Thanks. I might have to find a vw emblem for it 
 Is volts wagon an established term for this contraption? 

if not you need to trademark it, genius 
 Lol. I'll refer anyone who uses this term to this note 
 If you made a YouTube video on how you did this you’d probably get a million views 
 I've been interested in information on how to do something like this. 

Would love to be able to run a small rig off something like this. 
 I just ordered a kit on amazon that came with the panels and charge controller and everything to hook up to a battery. I already had the inverter. I had to make some cables to connect the batteries in parallel with 8 awg after my brother bought 4 lithium deep cycle batteries. It was pretty easy to figure out. 

I still need to hook up the cigarette lighter/ USB thingy sold for boats. I may get a fuse box to do this.

 cost?  interesting powerfix 
 diy link 4 sats? 
 Brilliant! I’m gonna have to build one of these 
 I did this one on a furniture dolly. I want to add a second charge controller and another panel for redundancy. And swap the inverter for a pure sine wave model https://image.nostr.build/4c70dff9ee49c79c1fb117fe4fc8e92b0779398dec64a0fc4ac51d60b60a62e1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/cbcc93f81f077df6ec1bfec342d6aef2f749ad45aad79966c9e2ac448b4cf8d1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/083841f61c6e13ae1431a4c77c5337958f33ecdb29523a18b660e2fd647b5d3f.jpg  
 Nice looking cart. Good idea to get a backup. I think I will get a generator for a backup 
 I ended up squeezing a Honda EU 2200i out of my boss for a quarterly bonus and it’s cool because you can daisy chain two other 2200i’s off it to increase your output to 6600. 
 What are you going to power with it? How many amp hour? 
 Four 100 Ah batteries connected in parallel = 400 Ah. 
 Correct, 4 100 Ah batteries 
 I will use it to power corded power tools and charge my cordless tools and trolling motor battery. Occasionally I'll use it for a sewing machine or vacuum sealer. I will use it to pump water when I get a well put in. 

I want to find an electric percolator or I may get a tea kettle so I don't have to have a fire to make coffee when camping. Once in a while you find those at thrift stores, this was the way people made coffee before the crappy plastic drip machines took over. Plastic and coffee 🤮

I have more capacity than I can currently use 
 This is rad! 
 I love it & want my own one!

I don't think mine will be as pretty as your VW though. 
 Thanks. All the supplies for the cart were salvaged from the local recycling center except for the roof and hardware. The plastic that I used to wrap it came from inside TVs.  
 Fanatstic.  
 beautiful  
 this is very cool 
 I like it! 
 😑… 
 Lol amazing  
 The odd food? 

Or the voltswagon?
