Jeffeeeee thanks for providing the link to the interview and Mello Mike for taking the time to present it. Although I have first hand knowledge of Bryan's setup I am still impressed with what he has accomplished with his rig.
The words of what he has accomplished to me is flexibility and comfort for his style of full timing.
Unless you spend time with him and "discover" his routines one would not begin to understand what he has accomplished.
Some of us actually perform the same patterns of full timing although not up to
Brian's scale.
He actually carries his own washing machine and dryer! Buckets and a clothes line.
Wife and I have had many 6+week trips and both of us agree, we could continue for as long as we want. We are comfortable with our rig and we tow a VW Baja or a trailer with bikes, motorcycle(s) and equipment specific for a given trip...
I would say that Solar is the best freedom maker that we can apply to our portable cabins that there is. We just finished 6+week 8,000+ mi trip from home clear to Alaska Prudhoe Bay and back..... Never attached to shore power and only ran the Honda 2000i for the Microwave.... Battery charging is out of sight out of mind! Solar charge controller said we used well over 1000ah on the trip.
