Have you looked at things like the Swift Basecamp?
There seems to be a new market for walk in small vans that you can store stuff in and then set up for adventure weekends.

2Kw in a small tent would be very 'toasty'.
I don't know the Planar system, does it have a good reputation for long running? I see it is used for marine applications so it should be robust.

In terms of how long the trip should take, my advice is to plan to take longer than you expect.
I had an 800 mile day crossing Texas as it was an endless repeat of the last hour but many days you f ... |

If you are planning to stay less than a year it is relatively straightforward. but will take some planning.
I seem to remember you are advised to get an EPA letter of exemption. Without this you ma ... |

I drove Route 66 a few years ago and couldn't make the costs work with shipping.
I just purchased a Jeep Wrangler Sahara (soft top) and headed out.
After about three days I was regretting the soft ... |

There is a good chance they will be Picatinny rails on Jeeps.
They seem to love that system and it's readily available with a range of different mounts. |

I've not used one but they seem to have done a great job with the design and extras, I really like it.

I like the Bundtec and I'm amazed at their claimed 20kg weight.
