Wow, have I learned a lot from this blog, thanks to all who contributed. I ordered a true 2016 Unity TB (fog lights standard, wind stabilization) , be delivered in April or May.
I got the solar panel package and will do some added extras that I did to my 2004 Coachhouse. I have 2 100 watt solar panels that are portable so I can find the sun in a tree filled campsite. Made it so that I use a 12 amp extension cord to plug into my unit with regular plugs, the neutral being positive and the ground being negative. Works well. I'm love gadgets and will be doing the LiFePO4 conversion. I live in Eugene, 15 minutes from AM solar, have meet these folks and they are great so will be getting info from them.
My thought was to install the Sprinter-Van-Dual-Alternator-Kit-with-270-Amp with regulator just for the LiFePO4 batteries and leave the stock alternator for the van. My thought was if I get 400 amp battery pack, would I need the generator? The only time in 10 years with my Coachhouse I use the generator is for the microwave, once to take a nap during the day in 118 degree weather for the A/C and often for the wife's use of the hairdryer.
Would I be foolish not to order the generator for resale or??
Pro would be a place for the batteries and lose some weight.
