This is absolutely fantastic! The workmanship you put into that system is top-notch. I'm particularly excited to see the detail you put into the 'how to connect to the starting battery of a Promaster' section on this build. I have not seen that part documented on a promaster as clearly as you showed in this video and I'll definitely be referring people to that section specifically when I get asked about that topic. Well done!

The knowledge that you have provided for non-professionals is just immeasurable. The only thing I would do differently is hire an electrician to check my work before I flip the switch.

I’m a nerd for instructional videos and I’ve been an avid RU-vid self learner for over a decade. Hands-down this is the absolute best, most thorough and comprehensive, organized and helpful instructional video I have ever seen; on any subject anywhere. I have no idea what your career involves, but you are a brilliant instructor. Much like myself, you leave no stone unturned in your explanation. I can really appreciate that and I can say also that very few people are able to accomplish that level of clarity. I’m not a pro master or a sprinter person. I’m still good with my 87 Westfalia, nonetheless I was enthralled with your video and could not stop watching. I ended up learning a lot about wiring. And that comes from a guy who’s been doing low-voltage wiring for 30 years, for what that’s worth lol. I hope you will continue to make videos for a very long time on a wide variety of subjects. I know that I will always learn from them.

Hey Lauren, I have just watched your install videos for the van power and the pre-wire and post-wire videos. Let me Just say as a 240 volt licensed electrician and solar installer from Australia 🇦🇺🦘🪃you have done a great job from start to finish and the instructions you have given were invaluable to those who have not done this before. Well done and let me just say you have done a better job than a lot of the tradesmen I know 😂 you are methodical neat and thorough from start to finish. Great work and if you are ever in Australia 🇦🇺 and need a job I would hire you in a second. Fabulous content as well. Keep it up. 👌👍😘

I had searched for a long time to find a good video on this project and your demonstration made this part of the installation so much easier for me! Thanks, Lauren!

Very good instructions so that some who hesitates to even try may now also be able to do this kind of things! One thing I used to do different is that if you use a locknut, you can leave it without a lock washer. And one thing that amazes me in all of this kind of installations is that how much they really take space! Too much, and weight too! 👍
@LaurenLawliss
@LaurenLawliss 11 месяцев назад
Thank you for the comment! In a moving vehicle there is a lot of vibration and the chance of connections becoming lose over time. Therefore having a lock nut and lock washer provides added confidence in those connections and is done in accordance with the manuals. The system can take up space but is worth it for someone like myself who will be living in the van full time and wants the normal conveniences of a home. Thankfully I did get lithium batteries to help save on weight as compared to other options like gel or AGM batteries and I purchased a van with enough payload😁

¡Enhorabuena por este vídeo!. Es de los pocos vídeos que he visto tan bien explicado, con todo detalle. Has hecho un trabajo sobresaliente, no sólo en tu furgoneta, sino también en tus grabaciones y montaje de vídeo. Un trabajo titánico... Gracias por compartir.

youve worked this video out very thoughtfully and made it very easy to understand. i noticed you showed 4 different ways to tie in the battery bank and diagonally is the only way to go, it makes the batteries work together, charges them equally and loads them just the same. before i became an rv tech i was diesel tech and this is how we wired our banks together. you will gain maximum MCA or CCA from the batteries. there is a downside though the batteries will wear down togehter and when it comes time to replace them, they all will need replacing but this is offset by the fact you will gain a much longer life out of them.

Thanks for the great video. You don't need the excess wire from the positive of the battery, the bank would still be balanced as the travel length for the electrons to each battery would still be the same for all the batteries.

GREAT VIDEO! MAYBE EVEN GOAT for van life builds. I used to work for fortune 500 semiconductor company (Dont' want to say which) but this video was MUCH high quality and more educational training videos we got. Great job Lauren! You should legit add to / edit this video as needed and try to sell it to them. I think a lot of companies would buy it in a second.

Wow... Is all I can say. You are a wealth of knowledge! I hatching a plan now for a battery bank in our travel trailer. I want to do as much solar as I can on the roof, and have enough inverted power to run everything for some off grid camping. You seem like a fascinating woman. Definitely subbing!
