There is not an on-board generator but the solar and batteries provide sufficient power for microwave, water pump, lights, hair dryer, electric kettle for heating water (replacing the AGM batteries with lithium would vastly improve the power availability and be smaller and lighter). We also have a one-burner butane stove but have rarely needed it. No furnace but if we anticipated needing an electric heater we carried our Honda 2000i generator (not included) in a cargo tray. Otherwise we just got a campsite with power.
To shower, you’ll need a sunshower and shower curtain. They can hang up or we found a foot pump sun shower at REI that sits on the floor. We tested it in our trailer shower and two adults could shower with one tank. Usually we shower in park facilities or in our trailer if towing it.
You can get a tent that attaches to the van over the sliding door. The version we have is by Kampa from Camping World UK and provides a lot of extra room. The Kampa allows you to drive the van away without taking the tent down. They offer free shipping and ours took about 5 days for delivery from the UK.
Ours is not included but here’s a link to view and purchase:

If you are serious about this van we can offer the opportunity for a test drive and to camp at our property for a night or two to try it out. $50 to demonstrate and set up, applied to the purchase price if you buy.
For serious inquiries, we are willing to arrange a Facetime or Skype video conversation and tour of the van where we can answer your questions and show the van in more detail.
