I have a few project where the 48V battery is charged from the 12V car system. A dual alternator is challenging ( awkward mounting, double wiring, load control ), however upgrading the existing 12V to a higher current one is often more feasible / easier. In those systems I used a Calex bidirectional controller ( 48S12.3K0BCA ) ( wicht allows many fun stuf because of its bidirectional features, like using high power 12V stuff from the energy of the 48V system), that controller allows to charge the 48V system from 12V alternator power. This controller, with some use of an external controller, allows similar things as the Scotty bidirectional converter from Safiery ( they have many videos, to get an impression of what it does ).

Hey Danny, this was very interesting to me because I was looking for the same thing. The best I came across was the Sterling BB1248120 12-48 which isn't even released until Q1/Q2 of 2023 and is 1500w output. Yours is 3000w output? I found the Calex one for sale for $775, is this about right? Already it is $150 cheaper than the Sterling one and double the wattage? :S. I was thinking to upgrade my 150A alternator to 280A, though that will cost $1k. What size alternator do you have? and how have you found it charging so far? What is your real world input/output? Can you throttle the input/output so you're not overdrawing from your alternator? I think this is the only semi-realistic approach as a 48v alternator is $$$$$$. Also what is the external controller you're using?

Good decision to prefer a 48 VDC system and great installation job too. The only thing I would choose is a Microwave inverter oven (Panasonic example). I have one at home and can never live without it. The time for cooking can be reduced significantly. The program for pizza (frozen too) is just perfect. Convection, turbo bake and grill are doing a good job too, you just need to find the correct settings over time. I will never build a camper, but it is exciting to follow your handcraft and skills, which can be adapted even in the house. Keep going. 👍🤘

I don’t understand how they can claim that “microwaves are waste of space”, yet they slapped a fucking oven in there... I think most people seriously underestimate how often they use microwaves. What do you do with leftovers? Heat them up in a frying pan? Come on, no one does that. You slap it in the microwave. Some things don’t re-fry well also (stir fries etc) and it’s also creating extra mess and cleanup, which is difficult & impractical in a van with limited water supply. Also, if you are hell bent on getting either a microwave OR an oven, you should still at the very least get one of those modern 2-in-1 units that can do both. That way you can stop fighting which one is essential. They even have 3-in-1 units now (i.e. Breville Combi Wave 3-in-1), where it’s a microwave AND convection oven AND also an air-fryer! Why compromise, when you can get all of them as 1 single unit?!

@@ladiandmargaret I absolutely can't relate. I love eating delicious, healthy food, but I hate cooking. I don't want to cook every single meal, that's such a waste of time. And I absolutely can't justify the ridiculous cost of eating out these days either. So I meal prep instead. There are a ton of dishes that store very well in the fridge (or even freezer, like most curries and sauces), so I cook/prepare them in large batches and then eat them for a while (you can even cook multiple different dishes at once, so that you could mix them up throughout the week). I just pull them out, microwave and I'm done. Healthy, fast, delicious and cheap. My point is you want to avoid any extra work, especially when travelling and living in a small space. So often you pull over after a long trip/hike and you are too tired to cook. Most people in that situation will just stuff their gut with some garbage snacks or fast food. But if you have your pre-made healthy food in the fridge & a microwave, then you don't have to do sacrifice your health - the food is ready to go with no prep or cleanup, so it's much easier to make the right choices. Besides, even if you don't microwave often, it still makes sense to get a 3-in-1 type of devices. The more features the better. And they don't take any more space either. It's a win from all angles, in my opinion.

Awesome build, I’ve been running a home built 48v 20kwh battery pack system at my house charging from a 6kw solar system for the past year. As a suggestion you could utilise the 3phase sockets on the extension real and make up adapters to utilise the phases you have available e.g 1phase plug wired to the phase you on the 3phase socket outlet you want to use or even make up an adapter box between the plug and socket with a selector switch to chose the phase you want to power up. You then would require less wiring in the van. I would also suggest to fully unwind the extension to eliminate excess heat build up in the cable when running near the cable amp rating.

Best not to try and add another alternator to the existing serpentine belt system if it's not possible to do so without adding any additional lateral pressure to the bearings of the other components (a/c, engine water pump etc). If possible, use an additional belt running off a double pulley for the non-essential alternator so if there are any issues with it you're still mobile. And it goes without saying, always carry spare belts. They're light and priceless when you need them! Keep up the awesome work 👍

My reasoning has been similar to yours, cheaper 230 VAC apliances and just necessary 12 VDC (like lights ans some 12 VDC sockets - even water pump could be 230 VAC). Only problem with this is the need of a 48/12 VDC converter and the efficiency of it, but as long as the load on those 12 VDC circuits is low it should not be a deal breaker.

Are you certain this is the smallest possible profile you can come up with for the power? Feels like you could hide is a bit more

Great Job Ladi , 48Volt system is way more efficient than 24 or 12 vollt system.

Finally a question why use an oven and not an air fryer - that can fry, bake, roast and reheat?

victron quattro 5000 w 48v inverter/charger might have worked better for you. charge and run equipment from shore power (grid) or batteries, charge from solar panels, 2 circuits for essential and non essential equipment. you might be able to get rid of the victron mppt and lithium battery charger.

If you've got a compressor fridge then it won't ever be the quietest. The only realy quiet fridge is absorption fridge, and you can get a lot of them, that work on 230V AC, 12V DC and gas. With 12V DC you will get lower losses than with 230V DC. This is important when you are driving to another destination, and you really don't want even the quietest compressor to disturb your sleep. Also the 230V AC system for the whole VAN may be convenient, but you will get a lot of variable EMF inside the van (with DC you don't have a variable field at all!), which is already made of steel, acting half like a faraday cage (except windows etc.) keeping the fields strong inside and weaker outside. Same with your bluetooth and wifi, it really doesn't make any sense to do any wireless inside a steel "house" where you don't even need to take 2 steps to get to a wired device (like a control screen with all readings). Wired is the way to go on this setup, for better health. Convenient does not always mean better or healthier. If "microwaves" is really not your thing, just measure how much different is the RF emitted from a wifi router vs RF leaking from a microwave - there're devices that measure that - but to ruin your surprise... it's about the same...

Ladi its an amazing set up and woww well done its off the grid with design, BUT you are missing one thing CAMP sites only normally give you 6-8amps if you are lucky, with the power draw you are asking it will keep tripping the camp sites electric. So you will be relying on sola DC to DC to keep the batteries charged. Or just charge the batteries with the 6-8 amps. Is this somthing you have thought about. Love the design and how its coming together, 👍 michael UK

Good job with 48v... The chance of burning down the van is way lesser ;-)
