With Mark's permission I posted his writeup of battery sizes for Vanagons on the wiki at http://vanagonwiki.net/index.php/Batteries

If anyone has anything they'd like to contribute to that page, for the next time someone pops up with this hoary question, feel free to edit the page. All you need to do is log in/create account and have at it.

Since I'm adding a Carver heater and have already added the entirely electric Vitrifrigo refrigerator, this seemed a good choice. the main battery box lid will not fit onto that bozx now so I've insulated that in a sloppy way temporarily, to insure it doesn't have contact with metal.
