PlanCamper

Sources and methodology

PlanCamper combines official documentation, manufacturer specifications and transparent calculation models. Figures support planning; they are not an approval certificate or a universal specification.

Primary official sources

Real Decreto 866/2010 — reformas de vehículos

Spanish framework for processing vehicle modifications after registration.

Ministerio de Industria — homologación de vehículos

Institutional access to current rules, manuals and approval procedures.

PVGIS — Joint Research Centre, Comisión Europea

Public reference for estimating solar yield by location and season.

Mercedes-Benz — Sprinter Furgón

Example manufacturer source for variants, dimensions and weights.

Volkswagen Vehículos Comerciales — modelos

Example official catalogue for checking the exact vehicle variant.

How to interpret the data

Dimensions and weights vary by wheelbase, roof, engine, drivetrain, equipment and market. Each page states its reference variant; always check your own vehicle documents.

Budgets and performance figures are indicative ranges. Prices, solar resource, electrical losses, usage and labour can materially change the result.

Legal classification and approval depend on the vehicle, modification and current jurisdiction. Confirm the project with qualified local professionals before building.
