ULTIMATE OFF-GRID Electrical Setup for VAN LIFE | Upgrading to Lithium Battleborn Batteries

DIY Campervan Electrical System Complete ✔️ After 4 months of building, we're finally installing 6 Lithium BattleBorn Batteries in our van to have the ultimate off grid electrical setup. WE FINALLY HAVE POWER & can live fully OFF-GRID in our tiny home on wheels 🚐

We highly recommend Battleborn! We are using their BB10012 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 Lithium Deep Cycle Battery.

We're building an off grid tiny home and on top of that we're building on a budget! Are we crazy to tear apart our first camper van build? Yup, but we think these new improvements will be worth it. We didn't film much of our first DIY van conversion so we are very excited to be documenting how two amateurs do a Sprinter van build on a budget. Watch as Towanda 2.0 comes to life!

This week, we're spending a lot of time with our favorite electrician, Nat's pop! Harry helps make our campervan electrical setup installation go smoothly, but somehow we still manage to have some mishaps. After 4 days of wiring our van, we have power! It feels amazing to be able to turn on lights, fans, charge our phones... It just feels more like home. We're so much closer to getting back on the road!

Cheers,
Nat and Abi
Bear + Peluche

WHO ARE WE?

We are Nat & Abi, a lesbian couple from the USA, and together with our rescue dogs, Bear + Peluche, we make a family. In 2018 we turned Towanda, a 2004 Sprinter Van, into an off grid tiny home on wheels so that we could travel the world! Our goal is to inspire others to live their own dreams, whether that is van life or something else!
