Simon & Liz, Very impressive!!! 2800kg Tare does not leave a lot of wiggle room for an ATM of 3500kg, our new rig is 2700kg Tare and I'm thinking did I stuff up, guess I will find out this week when its all fulled measured. The Electricial system looks well set out and you have thought of everything, but must say think it might be time these setup's went the next step and followed OEM's EV setups, good reason for all EV's cooling systems and battery structures. Looking forward to see it all when its fully kitted out and you have the next piece of the puzzle🙂

Hey Simon and Liz, congratulations on the new van. I’m certain you’ll enjoy it! A word of advice: the hinges on the hatches are an ‘Achilles heel’. We’ve had a Sunseeker van for 6 years and have had to replace all the hinges at some point. I’ve actually redesigned ours with different hinges. I’d advise carrying a half dozen spare hinges because when in the scrub and the door comes off in your hand, you’re gonna want to repair right away. Another mitigation is to get into the habit of lowering the doors down evenly with two hands every time - don’t let them drop!

Well done you four…… Really like your informative posts!!! Am very curious regarding how the Ranger towed when you got your new van being 2,880kg in Tare. Given there would have been a big increase in weight again once fully loaded. (We are aware you now have the Toyota 👍) Our previous van came in 6,620kg Tare and once loaded travelling became a big management process to make sure we were all comfortable and importantly safe. We have since downsized and still have our Ranger towing very comfortably……. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!!!

Thanks for the walkaround, what a great van, we love it. I'm also looking forward to seeing what you've come up with for the desal system. I work in municipal water engineering and have built a few MF/RO systems over the years. Sea water being real high TDS around 35,000 uS/cm or higher with say two stages using SW RO membranes and brackish water will require BW's. You could go multi stages but I'm thinking recovery efficiency won't be paramount and reducing power consumption will be, single stage may be the go. You will need MF filtration before the RO membranes. Your water disinfection system should be interesting, there will be a few ways to do this.

That's 133a total between two 40a controllers Allowing for a 20% loss (26a) you are still only charging at 80a out of possible 107a or 109 @14.6volts. Considering you have removed gas, it doesnt make sense not to harness all the capacity you can from the investment of your panels?

Yeah, you're spot on. On paper, it looks like the chargers are a bottle neck in the system. In reality it's rare that the solar input from each 4 panel array exceeds 40A.

Wish USA manufacturers went gasless. Single diesel systems is the way to go.

Hi guys the van is a bit over the top. The average vanner I doubt Is interested in such upgrades. Just stick to stuff the average person would be interested in, you are becoming unrelatable

😂😂 We're not average people! This is our dream home and we've worked really hard to get it. Don't underestimate the sacrifices we've made to get here. There's plenty of ideas in this van that don't cost a lot but make a big difference day-to-day that many people have found useful.
