Here's the transfer switch from Will's sight..."MOES Dual Power Controller 50A automatic transfer switch..for $120 Cdn. Now I need a battery charger.
The parts and prices are starting to pile up. Wish they had a "power generator" that did it all....

I like the idea of using the 'power generator' platform as it will be removable and when the van is not in use. I can deploy it with a couple of suitcase panels for other matters that require portable sustainable power when a generator is not viable.
Built a small system at home to learn about solar: (Tracer 40 A) charge controller, cheap 2000 inverter and 4 car batteries. Moved on to a cottage installation with 1kw of solar, midnite classic 150 and 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Now I am interested in building a stealth camping van...
