I am currently converting a Ford Transit 250 and have spent quite some time these last few weeks trying to figure out how the electrical will work with a lot of hours reading this forum as well as other places. I know a lot of diagrams get posted here so I tried to make mine as clean as possible and easy to read as I'm a very visual person and hopefully it can help someone out in the future.
The system we're currently going for:
- 400w solar but possibly increasing to 600w which is why I went for a 60a controller
- Alternator through the existing 12v battery
- Possibly adding shore in the future if we think we'd benefit after testing it out
As far as an energy audit, I have the items listed in the diagram and think the ideal amount of battery would be 300-400ah. Still working out what batteries to get...
Would love any feedback to make sure I don't kill us or to see if I'm upsizing any breakers or fusing too much to hopefully cut some costs. I had the inverter upsized just to play it safe since we may have some 1200-1500w draws at times, or find that we would like to. I have the induction cooktop in "??s" because we're currently on the fence on going with propane or not.
Please see below and looking forward to hearing any input.

Thanks!
