Sprinter Adventure Van Build Series Episode 16: In this installment of the Sprinter #VanLife Build series we are taking steps towards getting all the 120VAC wires installed in the van. Additionally we ran the wires needed for the rear doors and some of our out 12VDC components and accessories like the water pump, water filter, toilet, USB Plugs, Aux Dimmer Touchpads and Grey Tank control and monitoring.
*IMPORTANT: When running electrical wires in your van it's very important to understand and consult a wire gauge table or calculator. Our favorites are listed below and remember that the length is the total run both positive and negative to make the complete loop. If you are unsure please ask questions and seek professional advice. Aside from the lighthearted intro... electricity is no joke.
