RAM ProMaster Solar Calculator

The ProMaster's wide, boxy roof is a solar dream: panels lie flat and the extra width means fewer awkward gaps. Its front-wheel drive and square walls make it a favorite for DIY full-timers. Plan generous solar and a 300–400 Ah LiFePO4 bank if you cook electric or run air conditioning on the road.

Roof space: The widest roof of the class — 65–95 sq ft, friendly to 500–800 W.
