Nice Van<br><br>With a 925 CFM exhaust fan on the roof, &nbsp;positioning it exactly in the center of the highest crown of the roof is going to be a detriment to the solar panels you will likely want to add at some point.<br><br>I get by with about 1/5 that much airflow out my roof, and I can cook pasta inside without fogging the windows.<br><br>It is generally easier to run the wiring, then insulate, then build the interior. &nbsp;Running wiring afterward is much more difficult.<br><br>Don't think that any battery bank you might install can power that low amp AC unit for more than a few minutes. &nbsp;It's for 120 vAC grid power only. &nbsp;Even if running it with the engine on through an inverter, it will still deplete your batteries and send your alternator into a short lived fit.<br><br>Spray foam insulation is said by some, to rot the walls from the inside out. &nbsp;Definitely research this.<br><br>Do keep in mind the weight of things you will be adding. &nbsp;Make some effort to distribute it evenly if possible, and to not overbuild structures like beds and cabinets.&nbsp;<br><br>Progressive dynamics 92xx series or Iota &nbsp;DLS Converter/chargers are more compact and high<br><br>I'd first be spending any money on making sure the drivetrain and brakes are upto snuff. &nbsp;No sense in building up a Van you can't drive.<br><br>Also treat any floor rust before adding anything to the back.
