thanks Dave. I'll be using this video to fit an on off switch to my heater and my compressor fridge now. Plus I'll get some usbs (which I really DO need) and fit them. Was also good to see your young padewan again and you and your lass looked like you had fun making the video. Much respect as always- Kenny

Another great informative video Roberts. I was surprised how simple it is to add all the 12v stuff in. Funnily enough our cool box plug decided to melt whilst we were driving 😂😂💨 I'm hoping it had smashed and i didn't notice it before plugging in otherwise it means the 12v outlet was the fault. Good old van life ay. Catch you next time 👍🏻

It's good practice to jump start using the earth cable not the one off the battery so you don't fry the electronics 😉

The wiring explanation was quite interesting and what you explained was easy to follow. Was there a reason for different colour connectors to your fuse box some where blue and others red. Also how would i know what size fuse to use for each switch or plug or light.
@DaveOutdoors
@DaveOutdoors 10 месяцев назад
No reason for the different colour terminals, stock levels were depleting and it was what I could get my hands on 🤣🤣 As for fuse rating, couple if ways, depending on how savvy you are with electrics. 1st step, simple Watts law calculation, If you know the wattage of your consumer, let's say a ceiling light, which is 60 Watts, and 12.6 Volts. 60 Watts ÷ 12 volts = 5 Amps (Look on Google for the Watts law triangle) So we know it's 5 amps flowing through the circuit, always add 10% onto that, so that gives us 5.5 Always then fit the next bigger fuse available, so would be a 7.5 amp fuse. 2nd way, Put a multimeter in series to the circuit and take a reading of the current flow and add 10% Hope that helps.

You are running all your luxury items off of the vans battery? No wonder it's flat, I would have used those Eco flow batteries for the additional equipment myself. I wouldn't want to risk being stuck in the middle of nowhere...
@DaveOutdoors
@DaveOutdoors 10 месяцев назад
Vans battery? No, I have a leisure battery. The vans battery is almost flat because of a drain somewhere from the vehicles systems. Not anything to do with the van 👍
