Posted some of this in the intro section, but I wanted to start a thread here. Please let me know if this is the wrong section.
I plan to purchase a new 159 Ext in the coming weeks once I sell my current vehicle. I have attached my current layout plan and list of items to purchase. Listed in my purchase sheet is most major items. I am sure I will end up spending close to $1k on miscellaneous items, but I will do my best to minimize costs (obviously). Please let me know if you see anything I have missed.
The plan is to build a van to live in, be a daily driver and keep it low visible for freedom. I will have the ability for shore power. I also plan to have a generator and a portable AC unit for the unbearable days if Im not at a place where I can use shower power...I need to come up with a plan for the AC exhaust that can be stored and connected when I need to use the AC. I think flexible ducting is the route I will take once I figure out where the vent will go, hoping to vent this under the van in order to keep the van walls clean of vents, more stealthy.
I plan to have a shower in the van as I work full time and have a very active lifestyle. I have a plan for the shower but I am thinking about raising the 'bathroom' floor in order to place a grey water storage tank underneath. I am short at 5'7" so I should have a bit of space. Any thoughts on this idea?
I came across an electrical diagram on the forum, I forget where and who posted it, but I am going to mimic it almost to a T, its attached. My electrical needs will be the same as most, fridge, phone, tablet, LED lights, water pumps x2, fans x3 (two Fan-Tanstic and one small for bathroom). 3 100AH AGMs in parallel and 300Ws of solar seem to be plenty but please advise if anyone thinks otherwise.
My garage will be under my bed for my bicycles. Part of the 'garage' will be sectioned off, air tight and vented for my batteries and propane. Heat and cooktop will be propane.
Thanks for looking and thanks for all the information on the forum.
