144" WB? Just looked under my 144" and do not see space for 8D battery. I am sure you have it figured out but where? Spare tire relocated to door?
Where is the bed located? My bed is across the back and I have found having the fan above the bed is easy to open & close it while in bed. Reverse location of fan and solar panel? Fan should be above bed to get airflow at night.
Thank you for looking into it. Batteries – I wish to get a single 8D but these are other possible options. I am still shooting partly in the dark without being able to get under the van with a tape measure.
Possible batteries options are:
1. Single 8D with the spare relocated to the rear door hinges.
2. Split into 2 AGMs on both sides of the van below the floor.
3. Have one under the passenger seat and one under the van, total about 300Ah with the OEM auxiliary one.
The fan location is still flexible. I am planning on getting the deluxe model with the remote. I would like to have the solar panel(s) towards the rear of the van to minimize wire runs.
In our previous RV we had the Fantastic fan over our legs and during very cold nights condensed water was dripping from the fan even thou it was only partly opened. I replaced the domes with the double pane ones but sold the trailer before testing. Maxxair Deluxe has the built in rain cover which could behave as a semi double pane lid.
My whole conversion project is split into parts, things I can do now and after getting the van. The Seat/bed, galley and toilet modules I can do without having the van.
Everything else will have to wait with exception of getting known components such as Magnum, solar charge controller and few others.
George.
