I was considering this model for solo vanlife, but I found several negative reviews about it. Also, because the space in a van is so small, having more than one person living in it reduces its shelf life.

This may have already been mentioned, but I did not scroll through all the comments. One reason the water tank may bulge (not say this happened to you) is filling through the city pressure tank fill. If one does not turn off in time, the tank will quickly pressurize as the overflow can not handle the volume of pressurized inflow. And this pressure causes the tank to expand. Ask me how I know? Fortunately the tank I did this too had lots of space around it. It took quite a while for the water to quit draining through the overflow. A fun experiment would be to fill one of these tanks either the tank or a fitting failed. Thanks for the video. I am considering the 59PX non pop top as Van 2.0 after a good experiences in my Solis 36A. Solis 36A was perfect proof of concept camper van for me.

Ironically, that one was basically tied for the highest peak in the tests. Boulder 100: 72% of rated capacity peak. Nomad 50: 70% of rated capacity peak. Nomad 28: 53% of rated capacity peak. There isn't a single solar panel in existence which will ever hit 100% of its rated theoretical maximum capacity anywhere that people live. These numbers are actually really normal. Variance comes down to things like elevation, how clean/moist the air is, and how hot it is. Ironically, solar panels work less efficiently when exposed to high levels of heat (reminder that they convert solar radiation to energy, not heat per-se). So the "ideal" solar situation would something like "towards the top of a mountain on a clean clear day, pointed directly at the sun as it moves through the sky". Under those circumstances, the atmosphere is thinner and the temperatures are lower despite being exposed to plenty of direct sunlight.
