Hello All,
I've recently purchased an ambulance and I have great plans to convert it into a camping rig. Does anyone here have any experience with adding solar to an ambulance?
For me, the ambulance aspects that make it such a great conversion prospect (already wired, shore power, powerful alternator, coach battery bank, etc.) also make it just a little bit of an extra solar mystery to me. As I have tried to learn about solar by watching hours of youtube, I recognize that my particular rig is a bit unique. If I were starting with a blank canvas, like say a cargo van, then adding solar I think would be fairly doable with my current level of understanding. But with this ambulance, I just don't know what I don't know.
It seems to me like all I would need to do is run solar to a charge controller and then to my coach battery bank and then I'd be good to go. But then again I have this sneaking suspicion that I am missing something.
