time for van setup , options....opinions?

[Cosmin]

in december i get the van , it will be a ford transit connect.
i already order an 70gal water tank ( i don`t have to run it full)
i do wanna mod the van and run all electrical in it , hi-amp alternator , 700ah batt storage with an 5kw invertor.
95%+ i detail al clients house ,but i do have few accounts that i may not have access to electrical and water , so i though a good setup will be a good addition to my services.
i wash most with onr , so pressure washer will be use at minimum.
i already eye an electric pressure washer , the extractor is on the way , the water pomp will be 12v
i think by going all electric it will be a good space saver , less noise , no gas and oil to mess with.
what you guys think...?
does any of you have a similar set-up ? i am interested how it holds when is loaded. i will do 5-10 cars max.
Thank you

Sweet choice with the Transit! I have nothing to add but just want to see some pics when you get it all set up.

I actually thought of using a transit. But, I ended up getting a Safari.

Here is a thread you may find useful. It's my build from start to finish basically. Lots of info in there. It's most likely not similar to what you're going to do, as a Transit is much smaller. But, still...good info.

thank`s , i read it all over the last few days.
i am more interested into all electric type of set-up.
i may stop by a local store where they do audio install and see what`s their opinion about it. to have everything on switch and no smoke , noise and gas around sounds better for me.

i will try to picture and document the set-up.

Sounds good, man. I'd be interested to see that! Maybe I'll switch some of my setup up depending on what you find. :xyxthumbs:
