WIRING A FUSE BOX AND SWITCH PANEL IN A CAMPER VAN. SIMPLE CAMPERVAN ELECTRICS.
WE ARE NOT ELECTRICIANS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT ADVICE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICS.
In this video, we show you how we wired up and fitted the leisure battery, to a fuse box, with an isolating switch, then adding a switch control panel with USB and Cigar/Cigarette lighter socket.
Foxy is our 2017 Renault Master LWB Van, That we are converting into a CamperVan
I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, Please give us a thumbs up, and a nice free subscription. Cheers from Mick and Brenda X

Yes ideally you should have a fuse close to battery before you’re isolator ,cover for when you add more circuits to your fuse box 👍👍

Great video and very simple, enjoyed the negative bus bar option

Thank you ☺️

Great video. I’ve learnt lots of stuff, thank you!

I can't wait until you sort a van out for yourself.

@widearchshark3981 11 месяцев назад

Ahhh, about time we saw you doing some wiring 😉 Great vid as always. Well done mate.

@foxystravels 11 месяцев назад

Lol thank you. I’ll be an expert when it’s finished 😂

C'è un grande errore da correggere devi mettere un fusibile tra la batteria e lo stacca batterie

@ivanhoe6366 8 месяцев назад

Looks like the loads through the switch panel are now each, double fused. Some would advise a fuse very close to the battery to protect the main battery cables.

Thanks for the advice :)

Instead of using them cheap and horrible connector blocks you should use Wagos, they connect everything together so you don’t have to daisy chain the negatives, much neater, safer and easier to install 👍🏻

@foxystravels 6 месяцев назад

Cool, I'll have a look. Do you have a link to where I can view them please :)

Can't see the point of having a fuse board and inline fuses. One or the other. Most remove the inline fuses from the switch panel (they're all 15amps - oversized) and make a new cable with spade connections (with heat shrink) to run back to the fuse board, with the correct size spade fuses for the load of each circuit.

@civvy2012 2 месяца назад

Hello great video could you connect a inverter to the fuse board ? Instead of running straight off the battery

@foxystravels 2 месяца назад

To be honest, I wouldn't like to advise on that. I personally think it would be ok, but you're better off checking with someone who knows better than me.

@SimonEgginton-pf6nh 2 месяца назад

Could you let me know what size fuse you used for the switch panel. Good videos. 👍🏻

@foxystravels 20 дней назад

Thanks for your comment, it’s very much appreciated. I’ll have a check and let you know.

@NickDunne-xl7ck Месяц назад

Do you have an inverter? Total novice just trying to get my head around it all

@foxystravels Месяц назад

No inverter, because everything is 12 volt. An inverter changes it to AC, so you can use normal household electrical appliances. I use an EcoFlow power station for that stuff. Thanks for watching.

@user-xb9eu4fe4u 6 месяцев назад

Hi mate great video and very helpful for me definitely but can I ask did you have to put fuses in for the control panel to work? Thanks

@foxystravels 6 месяцев назад

Hi mate, thanks for watching. As far as I remember, the control panel already has the fuses fitted.

@user-xb9eu4fe4u 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for replying bud, I’m going to try get mines hooked up this weekend 👍🏻

@foxystravels 6 месяцев назад

@@user-xb9eu4fe4u Cool, I hope it goes well for you. I haven't had any bother with the set up at all, up to now.

@user-xb9eu4fe4u 6 месяцев назад

One more question if you’d be kind enough to answer, is your switch panel wired direct to battery? Mines reads 12.9 on battery but only 3.7 if it’s connected to fuse board, thanks

@foxystravels 6 месяцев назад

@@user-xb9eu4fe4u Mine goes to the fuse box. I have no idea why you would have a reduction in voltage. Is it deffo connected in correctly with a fuse fitted ?

@1tonyboat 11 месяцев назад

Just a thought,,if you switch the white switch off at night , will that kill the power to all your light`s etc , i see i`m not the only one who forget`s to put the heat shrink on first 😂😂👍👍👍👍

@foxystravels 11 месяцев назад

Hi Tonyboat. Thanks for you comments :) No it won't turn them all off, cause the light under top cupboard and the above the bed are. straight into the fuse box, which will be on :)

@carpingoxonox155 11 месяцев назад

Why did you piggy back all the negatives when there already piggy backed on the back of the switch panel already?

@TheSilverFoxDoesStuff 11 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for your comment. Where would I plug the negatives in from the load, as in the lights ? I thought all the negatives go all the. way back to the fuse box, so I did it this way, so that I didn't have to run a lead all the way back.

@MrBurty5 6 месяцев назад

I don't understand why you used a fuse box when the control panal has inline fuses

@foxystravels 4 месяца назад

Just extra protection ?

@StephenStylesGoesVanCamp 2 месяца назад

I'll say it now so no fires if you buy a van and it has Halfords stickers on cables get a professional to check all amp ratings for cables fuses and products

@foxystravels 20 дней назад

Thank you for the advice

@StephenStylesGoesVanCamp 2 месяца назад

Jesus another van without a fused power cable just a cut off switch 😂😂😂😂 like it does it itself before fire

@TheSilverFoxDoesStuff 2 месяца назад

Explain please, instead of being so negative ?

@foxystravels 2 месяца назад

Does it amuse you to laugh at people ? Why don't you offer some constructive advice.

@craigsmith8495 Месяц назад

@@foxystravels hi, the purpose of the fuse is to protect the cable which is coming straight from the battery (DC) from potentially over heating and catching fire, but all you have is a isolator to cut off the power manually for you to work on your system, so the fuse should be installed as well so it can trip and break the circuit in case of any overload faults, i hope that makes sence as im a bathroom fitter and not a sparky but it should be common practice especially on dc and solar setups as im aware off cheers craig
