A good place for electrical hardwire is Blue Seas Systems. Good choice for porta pottie with the 5 gal tank. I mounted a 5500 BTU AC in my rear window. It is mounted with a fiberglass blank and custom cover. Living in Fla it is a must if you want to camp in the summer. For your water system you might want to look at marine washdown pumps like I have with a 6 gal removable water bladder so I can fill it just about anywhere. You might want to reconsider the awning I went for a sunshade canopy. IMO the reason I went with the canopy once it was set up at the campsite it was good to go for the entire time. With the awning everytime we wanted to go somewhere we would have to hassle taking down the awning and leave everything at the campsite exposed to the weather. Then coming back and setting everything up again. Good luck with your build! Looking good!
I'm running Blue Sea switches for my battery system, I agree they make good stuff. With the 24" top I have some space on the backside that I played with the idea of a small window unit...if not that then I'll probably put at least one max-fan back there. I'm already just shy of 10ft tall so putting a roof unit on top of that isn't what I want to do..
Even the roadtreks are using small window units now, a friend of mine bought one. What they did was mount the unit completely inside the upper galley cabinet, so ther was nothing external, cut vents in the side wall of the van the way you see some of the heater vents on the side! I just helped a friend mount one above his rear doors, he has the higher top like yours, fit perfect. So this way he still has both his back windows. If you deside to use a window unit I found the smaller units use a plastic bottom plate for a frame. When you go up in size the units have a metal plate. What I did with my unit was completely dissassemble it before I installed it. Replaced all the sheet metal and mounting bolts with stainless and thru bolted where I could. Then I thrubolted a 1”x1” steel angle across the bottom plate for a secure mounting bracket.
Dont forget to get a smoke/ carbon monoxide detector!
Nope, it's going to stay, it works too well to mess with..
Are you going to run ducting through your base structures then?
Yes, mine has a motorized flapper, it's working so I can throttle/bias upper and lower flow; I'm going to do a single large lower discharge duct (just behind/above the wheel tub) and continue with the upper duct that I have (just relocated a bit higher to get it out of my sight line at the galley counter/sink.
