Day eleven of van life 3.0, October 9th, 2025

Wow, night went fast and we slept very well.



We sleep in a bit, as the morning is beautiful. Today promises to be a long day through several states.  We leave Missouri and pass through Illinois, to Indiana (were we are currently) and about an hour from the Kentucky boarder.  

I was driving when I freaked a bit as I could see a train passing in front of us, only to realize we would pass under the train.

 Ka'a Nui - The Big Van Project   2024      -      www.johnconey.com/kaanui_home.shtml A blog about the setup of the RV Ka'a Nui, a 2021 Dodge Promaster van purchased on February 28, 2024.  A huge hand goes out to Howard and Tim, who drove me to Kona to meet the seller and have lunch.  Great people and tons of fun for sure.  The van is a tall 9-4" Promaster van with 136" wheelbase (wb), front-wheel drive.  For electrical, it supports a 230a high output alternator and 700 watts of solar (more on that later).

June 22, 2024 Progress happens, finally got a weekend of sunny weather to work on solar.  Cut three holes, added grommets to protect the wires, and cleaned up the solar wiring.  Now bringing 8awg line into ...
