I'm hoping this is OK to post here, as the value Solar / Battery Generator set up accounts for a large part of what I'm asking for in total. [Consider the Van itself as a GREAT bargain, considering the mileage.]

Pictures?

Tim,

Sorry - got sidetracked. Pics are up now. (THANK YOU for chiming in...

A shot of 1 of the batteries:


I can post pics of how I've mounted them, of course. I've been going more with the angle of selling the *Van* that is solar equipped (vs. a battery system) so I didn't take detailed pics of the batteries yet.

Nice
This should be perfect for someone. As an RV or work truck, again.

 

[scottwstevenson]

Man, I hope so. I was running the engine the other day and fixed an issue with one of the cameras after no having spend much time in the truck lately, and was like, "Man, this is a bad ass vehicle!!!" LOL

It's a good candidate for an electric conversion.
Raise the box floor 12" and put in a full level of cells.
This would be an EV with respectable range.

Maybe, but I suspect that would quickly exceed the GVWR. It’s loaded up with some really high quality cabinetry (IMO) - I’m not sure what kind of wood it is, but it’s held up extraordinarily well. OTOH, from the cabinet labels when I bought it, it was used to carry some pretty heavy electrical equipment.
