Hello, I'd love to get some opinions on the following electrical system for my Ford Transit, High Roof Extended Wheelbase.
Key usage pattern will be "Family adventure wagon", with a Sleep4/Seat4 configuration. Long road trips primarily in the SouthEast and SouthWest, but also Canada and the far-north.
Key electric Loads:
1. Air Conditioning. 24v UndermountAC Minisplit. 16,000BTU. Pulls 1,100 Watts on high.
2. Water Heater. 120V Bosch 4 Gallon Hot Water tank. 1440 watts @ 120V
3. Fridge - Isotherm Cruise 195. 4 amps @ 24V.
4. Microwave Oven: GE Combo Convection/Broiler/Microwave: 1050 watts @120V
5. Induction Cooktop: TBD. Two burners @ 1800 watts.
6. Radiant Heat Flooring: 24V Heating Film 50cm wide 130W/m² 3m = 195 watts
7. Starlink 24V ~70-80 watts
Other standard loads including lights & chargers.
Batteries
4X 12v 280AH, 13,440 Watt Hours
2S2P, 24V
SOK Heated: https://www.us.sokbattery.com/product-page/12v-280ah-lithium-battery-built-in-heater-and-bluetooth
1 Victron Battery Balancer
Solar:
4X Rich Solar 250 watt panels
2P2S
1,000 watts.
Charge Controller: Victron SmartSolar 50/100
Charger/Inverter: Multiplus II 3Kva 24V
Shorepower: Standard 30Amp connection
Alternator Charging:
Dual Ford Alternators
Dual Ford Batteries
Sterling "Saturn" 12V to 24V 120A Input | 60A output
Connected via CCP (170amp Max)
12V Stepdown:
Victron Orion 24V to 12V converter.
CerboGX, a rasberri Pi for HomeAssistant.
I expect most charging will be done via Alternator and Solar, with infrequent opportunities for shorepower.
Does any of this feel grossely mismatched?
