2020 Winnebago Travato 59GL · National Park Edition
This is Stanley.
A go-anywhere camper van with a Raspberry Pi for a brain. Off-grid power, BFGoodrich all-terrains, and a Home Assistant setup that keeps working whether we're in the driveway or three bars of Starlink deep in a national forest.
Tap around and explore
Every glowing dot is a real feature. Hover (or tap on mobile) to find out what it does.
The smart home that happens to drive
Everything below runs on a Raspberry 5 mounted inside Stanley, on Home Assistant, talking to devices over Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi. No cloud dependency required to keep the lights on.
One dashboard, the whole van
Battery state of charge, propane level, cabin temperature, tire-terrain-ready status — all in one place, updated live, with history kept in Grafana so we can see trends over an entire trip.
The van itself
Before any of the tech gets bolted on — the base rig.

National Park Foundation Edition
A limited package built for going further off the pavement: black alloy wheels, BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, front & rear SumoSprings, a roll-up side screen door, and a 4-module Pure³ Advanced Energy System with portable solar — the electrical backbone the Home Assistant setup builds on top of. Part of every sale supports the National Park Foundation.
