ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This electrical system met all of our needs for working from and living in our camper van full time while off grid! The electric hot water heater is the biggest electrical draw, but we were still able to take hot showers almost every evening, even in winter when there is less solar. While the system was designed to be fully off-grid (the batteries can be charged via the alternator AND the solar), we also included a shore power hookup (which we rarely used).
