Transit Track Day Van/Explorer
Discussion
I am in the process of sorting my 2010 SWB transit for track days next year. It is booked in to get re-boarded, insulated and carpeted inside with some heavy duty carper on the floor.
The idea is that i can sleep in there on a blow up bed the night before track days and watch TV etc. I am also into mountaineering and outdoor stuff so I will sleep in there if I ever go exploring in it before heading up the mountains early morning.
What are my options for power? In my eyes I would like a couple of leisure batteries that i could charge up while driving the van and when i stop i flick a switch so it is isolated from my van battery and then use it to charge my phone, use my laptop, air bed pump or watch tv / power a small heated fan. Does this exist? What is the ball park for a set up like this?
Sorry if this is a stupid question!
