How To Build a DIY Busbar for a Camper Van Solar Install
This DIY Camper Van Busbar system is a great way to keep the main fuses nice and organized in a small space giving your camper van solar install a professional look and is ultimately less expensive than the other ways found to wire a camper van solar system in the past.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The fuses & fuse holders shown in this video are NO LONGER RECOMMENDED. Quality control on these have gone DRASTICALLY downhill over the last few months and many have had issues with these not being able to flow their rated current, heating up, and melting the fuse holders.
So… Moving forward… I HIGHLY recommend using the Busbar and fuse holder solution that is the Lynx Distributor. I have already place the Lynx Distributor in my most recent diagrams at https://www.explorist.life/solarwiringdiagrams and will be phasing out the diagrams that do not use the Victron Lynx Distributor (https://amzn.to/2LTZBRy)
If you REALLY want to use the DIY solution on this page, that’s still fine; but I MUST recommend using Blue Sea Fuse Holders & Blue Sea ANL Fuses as they are tested and certified pieces of equipment. The links below have been updated to reflect these changes.
Using 4/0 wire between your batteries and Inverter? Upgrade your copper bar to 1/4" x 1 1/2" rather than the 1/4" x 3/4" we use for a 2/0 wire equivalent.
