No problem.
I like 12volts as its the standard for cars out there today so if I needed a jump or whatever I could get one.
Its also nice to have a USB or cigarette lighter for accessories in the bus.
Brighter lights are nice to have too. Look into running H4 headlights as well.

So it seems like it's mostly to do with electrical convenience and no difference with engine/bus performance?
I'm also asking because I plan to install a separate 12v solar powered battery system to run appliances or electronics. So I won't need the regular system to be 12v for those reasons. And if there's really not much difference in the performance then I guess it doesn't make sense to convert to 12v.
Or maybe I would tie the two systems together... |
That sounds like a good plan and saves you some dough.
