My E350 has the same alternator.
I have a 1,500 Watt continuous 2,000 watt peak inverter. It is connected to the single aux ("house") battery which is charged through the stock Ford aux battery charge circuit. This circuit only charges at about 30 amps max, however the inverter can run most modest loads indefinitly, and even severe load, like a 1500 watt coolant heater with pump (for pre-heating a race car) it will still run for 15 minutes.
I've even had the van running continuiously for 8 hours at a time solely to provide stationary power. Alternator still works fine (it will hit 374,000 miles tomorrow).
