    24v system

    Yes it will pull one down more when trying to charge hab batts up,but unless the hab batts are flat as a pancake i dont see to much trouble, he could always swap batterys every few weeks,but as others have said use a 24 to 12 v dropper unit if he dont want the hastle.

    24v system

    You have missed the point,he is not running of the engine batterys,he has a bank of hab batterys which can be 12v charged of one of the 12v batterys from the 24v engine batts,but only when the motor is running,so it will not do anything to it as out of circuit when donky stopped. He will have to...

    24v system

    He wont be drawing of one battery,he is only tapping of it when engine is running to feed the hab bank,so no harm done.

    24v system

    It will be split between two 12 batterys ,so you can do the same for hab batts,but only tap into one battery for say light/tv then the other one for gas/oil blown heater,also for usb charge points etc.

    Changing classification

    Table can be fixed but removable,ie folding leg but must mount somewhere like a side wall,mind you if it looks as fixed in pictures i dont think they will take notice,the regs are a guide not fixed in law.

    12v light fittings/bulbs/switches /fuse boxes etc

    Got just about everything from ebay,use lamp units which take a standard 382 single filiment bulb then install a soft or pure white led. Switches from ebay with led inset light or use a 4 way remote on key ring. Also a cigy usb unit for charging phones etc.

    Can you use idling engine/alternator as a generator?

    Yep i remember in late seventies a toyota diesel van with very high mileage belonging to wholesale news papers would once warm on the m/way run away with its self around 60mph with worn intake valve guides/seals letting oil into cylinders.

    Can you use idling engine/alternator as a generator?

    Problem here may be some of the newish m/waves are electronic timers etc and will not work with cheepo inverters,they require a proper smooth wave unit costing way more.

    Can you use idling engine/alternator as a generator?

    Yes you could but a speed of around 1500 rpm would be required to get juice level up,but do remember long spells of no load are not good for engines and if done for long time then oil burning will happen,though i suspect for all you will be doing no more harm than stuck in traffic so go ahead...
