How We Power Our Full-Time Expedition Truck: 18 Months Later
If you're planning an expedition truck build, overland vehicle conversion, or high-demand off-grid motorhome setup, one question matters more than almost anything else: how do you create an electrical system you can actually rely on? Eighteen months ago, we moved full-time into our self-built expedition truck. Since then, our off-grid electrical system has powered everything from induction cooking and Starlink internet to laptops, a washing machine, air conditioning, lighting, and the countless devices that keep both our home and business running. In this video, we're sharing our honest review of Energy Monkey, the company that designed and specified our Victron electrical system. We'll explain why we chose them, the questions they asked before recommending any equipment, and how the system has performed after a year and a half of real-world, full-time travel. We'll also take a closer look at the key components that make up our off-grid setup, including: ⚡ Victron Quattro 24/5000 inverter/charger 🔋 Victron LiFePO4 lithium batteries ☀️ 2kW solar array with Victron SmartSolar MPPT 🚛 Buck-Boost DC-DC charging system 📱 Cerbo GX and GX Touch monitoring system 🌎 North America-ready autotransformer 📡 Remote diagnostics and support We'll talk honestly about what we love, whether we'd make the same decisions again, and why investing in the right electrical system has completely changed the way we travel. If you're researching expedition truck electrics, Victron systems, off-grid power solutions, overland vehicle builds, or simply curious about what it takes to live and work full-time from the road, we hope this video helps. 👉 Have a question about our setup? Drop it in the comments and we'll do our best to answer.
