Thanks  will go with the below    looks like the best over all setup  

have some new connectors  and wire to use    will be back asking more about a better controller for the solar panel so it can keep the ignition and accessory batteries  charged  also a 120 volt  charger to keep all toped off 

will not happen too soon as my back is giving me problems  so no camping now 

it will all happen as part of an over all redo of the old van    am removing the windows  bumpers  etc  for  new paint job  new sound proofing  bumpers  now making a rack to put the solar panel over the front luggage rack 

need to post pictures some where   suggestions ? 

will post a list of what planned and how going about it  for  advise  

right now too busy planning a sales expo trip to UK end of Jan  and another to Paris  in Feb. 

73 now and can not seem to slow down 

Plan to put the van in shop for paint  in Feb while am out of the country for 2 weeks 

thanks again
