Hi,

Thanks for the welcome.

I made a basic list of accessories. Most of them will be regular in any other campervan. What makes me to need more energy is my work. I will need to use 3 laptops and a monitor for 4-5 hours a day. So only this makes the Solar panel almost impossible. And all of this need the AC loads, so I think is kind of difficult to save energy.

The thing is, I would like to use the generator as few as I need. So if I could work and in the mean time he charges the battery I wouldnt need the solar panel. But I thinks this is also difficult. Maybe the best choice will be to have both.

I am still searching here.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi,

I am making a project for a Van conversion. Here my doubt is on the electrical system. Me and my girlfriend will be living in the Van, and therefore working in there. So we will consume a lot of power. I am estimating an use of 2500-2700 watts per day.

My first idea was to put solar panels, but with this consume I would need maybe 3 solar panels. wich would be to much. Would take the entire roof. Then i thought about an generator. Would be great if I work with it on, but sometime I work during the night and a generator would be loud on a camping during the night. I could charge batteries with the generator but what count to charge the batteries is the Amps and the vast majority of generators have a low one, so would be needed to stay on for to long.

For the last I thought in have both in the Van. But this would be an extra cost.

I dont understand electrical system well, and I am trying to find the best way to do it mine so any help would be great.

Thanks
