Its an entire system. Roadtrek has a "full E-trek package and a partial e-trek package.
the full package is underhood generator-8 agm 6 volt batteries-5000watt inverter/charger-and solar panels. i suspect the underhood is a high output alternator but i don't know.
the key thing i that they have developed a contolling device that enables maximum battery charging from multiple sources.
the partial package is underhood generator-4 agm batteries-2500 watt inverter/charger and the special contol package. solar panels are an option.
Full e-trek on e-trek and CS adventurous as an option-partail on most of the other models
all these models with these packages require spwcial wiring and controllers developed by Roadtrek-they don't give out all info
thats all i know-you'd have to go to thier site and research
Are you sure it's the same on the Chevy Chassis 210? I don't see where you'd put so many batteries, or the solar. But I do see an option for the underhood generator.
the partial e-trek package that goes on the chevy models puts 2 more agm batteries under the floor in front of the gas tank-you get no access to them from outside the coach-i've talked to roadtrek. their partial e-trek package(they don't call it that by the way) is underhood generator,2500 watt inverter,4 total 6 volt agm batteries option GU. the solar panels are separate. this can go in 190,210,ranger. it can also go in some of the sprinter models but i don't know where the extra batteries go on sprinters-i think under the rear-i'm only looking at chevy ranger-thats why i know
ps i went to site and looked at build-the confusion is because you can get 2 additional batteries without the underhood generator.you can get solar panels themselves or solar panels and extra batteries. the GU option that gets underhood generator includes the 2 extra batteries and 2500 watt inverter as i said. their build menu does not really explain this-i had to e-mail them
also i asked about battery access to those 2 extra batteries-Roadtrek sahys they are AGM and need no maintenance-in the rare occasion they need access dealer would have to do from underneath-just like getting access to other things underneath the van.
Roadtrekputs solar panels onany of their models-they are all not the same though-different combinations depending on what roof.
one more thing i forgot. onthe Ranger the extra batteries go in front of gas tank-however the 210 has the rear storage container. inthe sprinters some batteries go there and maybe on 210 they go there also
go to roadtrek and build a 210-it lets you pick options including the solar panels separatley
