 As stated above all the posters here want to help you but having someone, if you can afford it, to work with you individually and custom design your system as jimindenver will do is best if you can not take the huge amount of time (as Will stated it has taken him 10 years) it takes to learn what you need to do it yourself.  Thanks to everyone who takes the time to educate others!!!

 Thank you.  Exactly!  I've been hoping I can just afford to buy all the big components and then to pay someone to put it all together for me.  I know of a shop here in SLC that does van conversions, but talking to the guy, I realised there's not the necessary experience there with a lithium system.  So I appreciate the recommendation to contact jimindenver.  And thanks to everyone here for taking the time to help me understand.

Goal Zero has nailed alternator charging with their Yeti Link. The wiring from the battery back to the Yeti Link should be fused

After your earlier posts about this product I picked up the 1000 Li + mppt charger, 25 amp fast charger, haven't purchased the link wiring yet.
All said and paid for I wish I'd have started with this first rather than the 6V GC's and extras for AC and solar charging.
It's an expensive package for sure even using my existing solar. Anyone can easily monitor usage and how much is put back into the batteries at a glance.
