You say you have an all-electric coach. How did you do this, & how well does it work?

i got my bus from a electrical/mechanical engineer who did the conversion. it is an engineering marvel. it has house appliances, side by side refer, drop in 220v electric stove/oven/ microwave oven/ electric hot water heater, and electric space heaters. it has an aux 2/53 detroit that drives a 15KW gen, an air compressor, hydraulic pump, and 100 amp alternator. the hydraulic pump drives hydraulic motors for the central a/c compressor and cooling fans. it has a hospital zone muffler and its designed either to plug in or run off the generator. it has a small inverter to run some house lights when parked w/o gen or plug in. no additional batteries but i have a small briggs and stratton turning a 60 amp alternator in case i run the batteries down. the 2/53 is put in at a 45 degree angle to fit in the bay and has a specially designed extra large sump and is over filtered with the same filters as the main 671. should run forever. it has a separate 100 gal diesel tank and the original 25 gal a/c gas tank is retained as a spare diesel tank with a pump to transfer to the main fuel tank or the gen diesel tank. works great
