2010 Ford E350 Conversion with Huge Solar and Lithium Battery

I bought this bus about three years ago and completed the conversion in 2020. I’ve used it mostly as a vacation camper, but have lived in it comfortably for a couple months at a time. I’ve changed the oil every 4000 miles and kept up with maintenance scrupulously and it’s had no issues.

I am an electrical engineer, so I put special work into the solar and battery system.
