RE: Step one. Bought the van.
I'm honored to have been some inspiration to you, as you've inspired me and so many others.
Interesting, we chose the exact same fitting, and located it in the exact mirror image place, yours to port, mine to starboard.
I'd upload photos, but my old thread is now closed.
Anyway, just like yours, it's a super clean install, looks nearly factory, and plugs in very conveniently, grounded. I run a small heater on chilly days if I can plug in because we get sub-freezing here nights in spring fishing season and of course in early duck season in the fall. Makes for a very comfortable evening, and makes for almost as much fun using my van as I had making it!
The basement is a great idea..do you think the "revenooers" in your mountains will ever look there? ;-)
Cheers, Guy

RE: Step one. Bought the van.
Elegant electrical. I used a marine through-hull plug cut through under my starboard side taillight, wired a short 3-gang pigtail to it, into which I plug an onboard charger and another extension cord. If I can plug in, I've a small electric heater that will run while my battery charges. Otherwise, I can charge from shore power and stay locked!
But the solar....now that's interesting. I'm considering some of the new low-Amp panels because my draw is so low (no converted appliances, etc.). I'm hoping to benefit (again) from your choices and follow your example of craftsmanship. Funny, as much fun as they are to use, there's something about the building, too.
