Campervan Conversion Electrics | Building 12v and 240v Electrical System and Swivel Seats | VW T6
Campervan conversion electrical system and swivel seat installation.
We spent the last month or so working on our electrical system. We are having a 12v and 240v electrical system. This has involved installing our 2 batteries, all the wiring, battery chargers, inverter, fuses, switches and sockets. This has definitely been the most challenging part of the conversion so far. Not because the actual installation of the electrical components has been hard but because we had to do so much research to ensure we are doing it correctly and safely. Electrics can be very dangerous if done wrong so we wanted to make sure nothing was unsafe.
We have 2 100Ah lithium ion batteries, we can charge from the vans alternator or from the mains. Most of the appliances in our van will run off 12v but we also added a 1000w inverter so that we could charge/use some 240v appliances.
We found Greg Virgoes videos very useful for this part of the conversion so if you're doing your own electrics go check them out: https://www.youtube.com/user/sliderno1
We also took Quirky Campers 12v campervan electrics workshop which was very useful:
