Van Conversion Step 2 – Electrical
Shout out to Freedom vans for all their help with this project! https://freedomvans.com
These folks were amazing to work with: I wanted to get the project started, cutting holes in the van is a great way to start. Freedom Vans is great at what they do and yes they cut holes too.
Initial contact was in June via email with a very quick response. The delivery of the van is scheduled for December 2021 so a February 2022 date was tentatively made.
Electrical Wish List
Solar – 60 cell LG (375 watts) with Victron solar charge controller.
Lithium Battery Bank – 500 amp hour with Victron monitor, battery isolator and disconnect. Batteries are also heated for charging in cold weather.

Things I would change:
I would not change anything with this other than wonder if the 3000 watt inverter would have been the better option.
