The van electrical system is state-of-the art installed by Titan Vans of Boulder. It has 3 -200 amp-hour LiFePO4 batteries. They are charged four different ways: 1). off the grid up to 3600 watts, 2) via dual alternators at 300 amps total or also 3600 watts, 3) a Victron Phoenix European Charger at 750 watts, 4) by two solar panels at 230 watts. So the main cabin runs essentially off of electrical power.

There are 5 100v ac lines coming from the inverter. Microwave, AC/Heatpump, hotter heater, convection cooktop, and miscellaneous outlets.

Heating is three ways: Webasto diesel heater, electrical heat pump, or diesel engine (have never used more than the Webasto).

Cooling three ways: exhaust fan (usually used if nights are cool), AC powered air conditioner, or engine ac.

Four ways to cook: Conduction cook top, microwave, insta-pot, JetBoil outside burner.

Controls: Most all devices can be controlled remotely via an iPhone. Temps, burners, hotter heater, outlets, etc… Further the van can be started or stopped remotely or “halted – killed” if stolen. Naturally remote locks, alarms too.

Automation: The Cerbo computer monitors and controls two main systems. Cabin over temp where it will auto start engine to provide emergency cooling, and battery state of charge monitoring. If house batteries drop below 30%, the engine will start at high idle to recharge the house batteries. All of this monitored and controllable via iPhone.
