Sounds like you're the target demographic for the Slate truck. Seriously, it's like you are the exact center of their product audience Venn diagram.

the Slate truck

one quick search and an hour of customizing later

I need one.

It took a little skimming around the FAQ for price expectations, and "The Blank Slate is expected to be priced in the mid-twenties." which I assume will be the base "barebones no customization" version, so I'm guessing my version will probably be a solid 35k.

About 1/3 the price of the ICE truck my brother in law bought a few years ago.

Honestly if I could rig up some kind of packable solar charging setup to take on extended off-grid trips....
