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 :)
