Great build! Those vans are built super tough, and reliable as can be! Only thing I'd change? Box and vent your battery to the outside. It will put off poisonous gases while discharging and charging. And worsen as it ages.

It's an AGM battery. They do not off gas during normal charging as lead acid batteries do.

True. No guarantee if using the vehicle to charge it without a good charge controller.
Best to vent it anyway IMHO.

Glad to see your work on here, like the way you worked it out. :thumbsup: Wish there was a slot for vans on this forum also...
I will keep watching, want to see later, what you think of the isolator.
Stay safe, David
