For the record

[Blacktank]

OK, I'll admit.. I am one of those 'female non mechanical, older with some health problems, poor as dirt...
and I did get a bit toooo ansy after watching those* videos.  ONE of the videos mentions..in passing:
"you really should have 2-3ooo $ in saving before hitting the road."

Crikey!  Not only am I not prepared with the right vehicle, not enough savings and frankly have several
dr. appts to get under the belt before I can head out..... it may take years to be ready but I'm thankful
I was given the wise info on holding back the reins til' I'm much more ready.

I think each of those videos should begin with warnings for dumb newbies like me. 

well then you are on the exact right forum,we already have enough experienced people here in different areas that you will not have to trial and error and waste money,they can tell you the exact solar setup for what you want to do,the exact way to insulate 

save,save,save your money,keep researching and asking questions and in time it will all fall inline
