In Transit
Hi I am a new member of this forum and am new to campervan builds so if I am repeating threads please guide me to a link if possible.
Anyhow Hello all. I am about to buy a Ford transit custom l2h2 and have started to think about what I would like in it.
I am going to transport a couple of motorcycles in it from time to time so the build will be more minimal than alot of your designs. After reading through Wildebus's thread on ac fridges I would like to build an electric power only van if possible. ie no lpg. My first question is what are the minimum battery and solar sizes I would need. I realize this depends on my use so this is my present thinking. For 2 people.
I would like to live off grid for at least 3 nights/days without starting the van engine.
I would like to run a 240v fridge, 240v kettle (1kw), small 240v microwave and possibly a small induction hob and a small water heater
12v Led lights and a roof fan.
I am thinking 2 invertors. 1 for the fridge and usb sockets (on permanetly) and a larger invertor for cooking etc to be on only when in use. This kind of replicates what wildebus went through on the 240v fridge thread.
Is this kind of set up possible at all and also without a huge budget. Have I left any essentials off my list? and are there more economical set ups?
Thanks in advance
