Solar Powered 2005 Freightliner MT45 Step Van for sale

This is more than a truck, it's a platform for freedom at Burning Man, regional burns, and beyond. Fully outfitted with 240 sq. ft. of solar panels and a backup generator, you'll have reliable power wherever you need it: running your art car speakers, powering your theme camp AC, charging devices, or fueling a mobile DJ setup. No plug-ins. No fuel bills. Just you and the playa.

Why This Truck Changes Everything
  • Off-Grid Power at Your Fingertips: With 240 sq. ft. of solar panels and a backup generator, this truck produces enough electricity to power air conditioning, LED displays, sound systems, and essential camp equipment without relying on external power sources.
  • Theme Camp Ready: Large 10x5 ft. window space perfect for LED displays, art installations, or merch booths. Customize the exterior with your camp's branding or art.
  • Transport + Power = Flexibility: Haul your gear and camp supplies to the playa, then become the power hub for your theme camp. DJ booth, art car charging station, cooling station, it's up to you.
  • Sustainable & Self-Sufficient: Solar-hybrid design means you can operate completely off-grid. No generator fuel needed on sunny days.
  • Proven Potential:
    Previously used for interactive advertising campaigns with onboard displays. The power and display systems are battle-tested.
What's Needed to Get Road-Ready
This truck is a solid foundation, but it needs some work to be fully road-ready. Specifically: the fuel system needs to be drained, and the battery may need replacement. If you're handy with basic car maintenance (or know someone who is), these are manageable tasks. Any DIY burner or prepper with fundamental mechanical skills can handle this work. All major power and mobility systems are intact and functional.
