Campervan 12V Electrics Install (We Have Power!) | Transit Van Conversion E22

We've been looking forward to this one for a while! It's time to install our campervan 12V electrics system and actually get some power into our van! 🚐

We had already run wires around the van as part of our pre-wiring so this time we just needed to make a board to house our 12V van electrics setup, which includes our MPPT charge controller, Lynx Distributor, DC-DC charger and 12V fuse block (and a few switches). In the video we run through the simplified version of our wiring diagram.

Our van electrical system uses 2x 100aH LiFePo4 batteries wired in parallel to double the capacity, paired with 525W of solar panels on the roof.

The moment of turning on the main switch for the first time will forever be one of our most satisfying moments of the entire van build 🙂

Disclaimer: We're not electricians so everything we've put together for our campervan electricial system is the result of research from various different resources - always do your own research on how to install electrics in your own campervan and consult an electrician in your locality if you're in any doubt :)

Thanks for watching! Any comments or questions? Let us know below!
