Geez Adam. I think you missed a couple of extra mods. A set of wings and new signage for the van that says NASA.
Have posted this elsewhere but may be useful.
For those with solar panels, found the corners very sharp and nearly tore my van cover when pulling on and off. Went to Clarke Rubber and bought four rubber corner pieces, glued them on and now no trouble of hooking the cover and tearing.

How do you propose to wire your inverter to the power points or are you having dedicated outlets?
