Do you camp with electric or without? No electric I would say diesel heater and lithium battery is needed. Do you drive every day or park up for a few days? Parking for a few days I would max out the solar side of things. So basically think how you will use the van and go from there. I don't...
You're right there Wayne we have 300 ah lithium in our van with 200 watt renogy solar panel, 3000 watt inverter, 100 ah lithium in our trailer with 200 watt ecoworthy solar panel and 1000 inverter. Plus Jackery 1000 and another 200 watt of portable solar panels.

I have a Victron shunt and a Victron 100/50 MPPT installed in my van for my solar panel.
I have a Renogy 0amp DC-DC charger for 1 of the 100ah Lithium batteries ( below)
I also have 3 Renogy Lithilum batteries, 1 x 300ah ( connected to Solar Panel) and 2 x 100ah installed.

...of the planned setup. I’m trying to keep it fairly clean and OEM style rather than loads of switches/panels everywhere.
Current plan is:
Lithium leisure battery under driver seat
Victron SmartShunt
Victron DC-DC charger
Zeliox ZCM6 as the main switched fuse/distribution unit

I would cancel the Victron 30A, and spend the extra on the Orion XS 50A.
It is far more efficient, and produces much less heat than the 30A.
You can also dial it back if you don't need it at full throttle.
Plenty on here have Ecoworthy lithium and are very satisfied.
...the AGM battery has slowly died. I have replaced the leisure battery with the ECO-WORTHY 12V 100Ah LiFePO4, and then realised the shift to lithium means I also have to replace the other two units in the picture. So, I have ordered the Victron SmartSolar 150/35 MPPT Solar Panel Charge...
Upgrading the underseat agm leisure battery in our Aussie spec Cali T6.1 to lithium today, with dc dc charger, connection to solar plus ability to restore starter battery. The overhead battery monitor also being recoded. Also installing new remote port at rear of van. At coffee shop whilst...
...and do all the hinges when I service the van (and our other vehicles) and particularly the check strap as it enters the hinge block. White lithium grease on the check strap roller.
This is what my late father did prior to the advent of spray oils. I’ve still got his GPO oiling bottles from...
Yeah been down a rabbit hole on Ai chat 😅 i’ll do some weekends and maybe add solar if required. I guess if the alternator even packs in i can cross that road in future. Cheers
Your money but I reckon you might be over thinking the situation.
Running a conventional lithium leisure setup with solar I've never needed an higher output alternator.
Sure your power station might not always be fully charged but that's the point of larger capacity storage, there's still a lot...
