The original conversion was recent and beautifully done, it just did not work for my needs unfortunately. I have tried to preserve as much as the original build as possible as I do really like it. I needs to be off grid and self sufficient for 21+ days at a time which means a full redesign of the power and water systems.

Solar

1600 watts of panels, 10+kWh of 48v batteries, 5000 watt inverter, tons of 12v/USBC/outlets. Never need to plug in, no reliance on parks and plenty of power for whatever is needed.

Water

It came to me with a very well designed and extremely well built system but the fresh/grey tanks were just too small. Rather than reinventing the wheel I just tied in larger tanks to the existing system and added a shower head. I have 66 gallons of fresh and 18 gallons of grey storage.

Storage

The rig had tons of exterior storage but was lacking indoor storage for long term dispersed camping. I removed the kitchen cabinets and ran fabric cabinets the length of the drivers/kitchen side (minus a cat hole) with an additional cabinet above the rear doors and bed. This gives me 16+ cu ft of new storage for clothes, supplies and cat junk.

For the Cats

The cats need space to hide, relax, do their business, play and most importantly get away when they want to. The have an indoor litter box that gets moved to the outdoor catio when parked. They have a cat tree, two cat cubbies, several cat doors giving them access to the garage/catio as well as the front cab.

Fridge

I opted for a standard 110v fridge for a variety of reasons. If it dies I can replace it at a big box store, 12V fridge not so easy to do. The cost to replace a 110v fridge is about 1/3 the cost of a mid tier 12V fridge. Space, more space for food and a decent size freezer. Right now the cost to add more batteries to the bank is cheaper than trying to make everything 12V, I have the battery bank size and inverter where it isn’t an issue.
