Mobile Clinic: need electrical outlets
Hello all!
I am an optometrist, and I am creating a mobile clinic to serve the local geriatric population. I recently purchased a 2003 Goshen Ford E450 shuttle bus. All seats will be removed, and I'll create a single "exam room" out of the space. I need to plug in only a few pieces of equipment (microscope with single halogen bulb, AC for summer, and small space heater for winter). This will only be used for about 8 hours per week. What would you recommend as the power source? I will be pulling up to senior care facilities, and so noise levels are a concern (so I've ruled out a generator).
Would you recommend adding a solar panel on top of the bus, or would it be easier to simply use a battery (that I can remove to recharge in my garage)? In these two scenarios, I will be dealing with a battery. What is the best way to convert from a battery to a standard 3-prong outlet? Finally, is there a go-to battery for this type of use?
Thank you!
