Wild camping
Cooling, light and a charged phone, without a grid.
Wild camping is the cleanest test: there really is nothing there. What you carry is what you have — plus whatever you can put back.
You stay in one place for days, so you cannot count on the car's alternator. Solar is not an extra here; it is the charging strategy.

This is how we would do it
Wild camping leaves nothing to top up: what you do not have with you, you do not have.
So here we size backwards. We do not ask how much fits, we ask what is left after three days. Solar is not an extra but the only incoming energy.
Lighting is what gets underestimated. Few watts, many hours — four evenings of LED lamps is already a real item in the daily balance.
What to watch for when wild camping
- Independence: everything from your own system.
- Energy: sized on realistic daily consumption, not on a feeling.
- Cooling: a compressor fridge that holds temperature in the heat.
- Solar: the only source of recharge on days you stay put.
- Sleeping: a rooftop tent, regardless of the ground.
- Lighting: few watts, many hours — it counts too.
