I have 700 watts of panels on my E250 van in Hillsboro Oregon and the most i've gotten from the SCC is around 37 amps.

I have a 2012 Econoline E-250 van insured through progressive. It looks like it was used commercially by the previous owner but I'm not sure. I bought it from a dealer. It had a steel divider behind the passenger area and a ladder rack on the roof. I didn't have to do anything special to get it...

I have some extra MC4 connectors I can install for you. I'm not too far away, in Forest Grove. Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town (camping) today but will be back on Friday afternoon. I have the kit below that I bought from Amazon. It is really easy to use...

I have a Verizon MiFi hotspot in my van. You can connect to it directly with a laptop via a USB cable, and it can also be setup as a wifi hotspot. I've been using it for work 12 hours a day for a few years. I also have an external antenna for it on the roof of my van.

Try making a mask using a material with a different weave. Lots of things can be done through pantyhose for example, even breathing. If that is too restrictive, try some netting like they use for catching fish. Eventually you will find something that you can breath through. The mask doesn't need...

Youtube has a lot of videos of DIY generator enclosures.

I have three 12 volt 100 amp hour AGM batteries in parallel, 700 watts of solar panels, and a 1200 watt inverter to run a 5000 BTU window AC in my van. I suspect you will probably ruin your battery and probably alternator quickly with that setup.
