I'm getting there with the power system now!
Only a handful of small appliances and the DC-DC- battery charger left to do after everything I manage to put together in this video.
If you have questions don't be scared to ask in the comments, I get back to every comment I receive.
I look forward to seeing you in the next one.
Stay safe & be kind,
Matty

Thanks for the informative video. I have to say you are a good teacher, even a thicko like me can understand what to do. Thanks for the videos and good luck with the build

Aw I'm glad you found my video useful mate!

Brilliant one Matty. Fabulous way of explaining the electrical systems. Even I can understand it, just haha. Plenty of solar coming in as well. Awesome van build mate 👍

@TheWoodlandNomad Год назад

Thank you Asa 🙏 I'm glad I'm managing to explain everything in a way that's easy to digest ☺ big hugs!

@ReverseWingover Год назад

This has been a great series of videos, I'm never likely to build an offgrid van but your explanations are clear and I've learned a lot about how the components are arranged. Looking forward to seeing the decor and trim being added. 👍 Come the zombie apocalypse or alien invasion I'll be looking you up.☠👾

Aw thank you, really appreciate you watching even though it's maybe not your usual watch. Can't wait to reveal him in his entire glory ☺ Hahaaa we better get long range radios before the Internet goes down 😅

Great video mate! I bought my converted Crafter with the whole electrical system already set up and I'm trying to find my way around it all. Your video here helped me understand a good few things! I might need to do some cable management as well 😅 yours is spotless!

@TheWoodlandNomad Год назад

I wouldn't say mine is spotless but I've tried to keep it neat 😚 Glad you found my video useful!

Why fit an inverter? Just to use a lap top when you can use a 12v lead that’s very safe and you will use a lot less power too 👍

@TheWoodlandNomad Год назад

You can't get one for my laptop mate, she's too powerful. Because it's for gaming/editing you can't get a 12v lead, I checked everywhere, even called a couple suppliers to have them confirm.

Any reason you wire the inverter straight to the batteries instead of to the bus bars? Does it matter?

@TheWoodlandNomad 5 месяцев назад

Couple reasons that I have but you're right, you'd be fine to wire directly to the bus bars. 1. The terminals are too large for my bus bar screws but fit onto the batteries well. 2. Shorter cable, which is always good practice with high power devices. 3. I prefer to follow the manufacturer's instructions with big ticket items. So long as the inverter is fused and the cables are suitable then either way works fine. Also check your bus bar can carry the amperage. It's usually really high but it does have a limit.

@ChadHazeltine 5 месяцев назад

@@TheWoodlandNomad Thank you for the explanation. Your videos have been super helpful!

@mrcamper5211 Год назад

16mm would of been better then 10mm IMO

@TheWoodlandNomad Год назад

You can always go bigger but I saw no need with it being rated for 70amps and I'm never going to put more than 30 through it and that'd be every single device, USB and light on all at the same time. Plus it's fused so the fuse would go before the cable was under any stress.
