- we installed campervan 240v electrics into our self built campervan. installed an induction hob and plug sockets along with a few other fiddly bits and bobs to make our home on wheels alot more usable.
next job is plumbing!
I have since found out the reason why I need a consumer unit so while I'm off grid it'll be okay but soon I'll need to add one before I electric hook up instal on the vw crafter van conversion.
Thanks for checking out our vanlife uk channel here on youtube where we self convert vans for full time van life in the UK.

Greetings from Chicago USSA..... As a retired construction professional, I am amazed at the progress of your build. WELL DONE MY FRIEND. You are doing a great job and your camper is turning out extremely well.
-- cheers,
Hi, looking good. One thing, on most sink drains the rubber washer fits on the underside of the sink and the thin white washer fits on the inside.
Hey Richard, I love the way your van is looking now, Great idea to turn the shower into a drying room too thats brill, The new hob looks great just so smart, Great job, take care 👍
Well done it's looking amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
The rubber washer goes on the underside of the sink. Take the old one off and use the new one. Use sanitary sealant under the chrome part of the waste that sits on the top of the sink. I’m a plumber. Trust the process 👍🏻
Looking good 👍
Thank you
Great video, now all i need is a camper van. 🚙
Just be careful with the electrics. When I hear you say things like “the plug has a fuse so it’s ok” it makes me worry. You should fuse all connections according to the amp rating of the cable. What you don’t want is the whole van burning down, your insurance catches wind that you had electrics that weren’t compliant for a dwelling, and you lose it all. All for the sake of a fuse costing pennies.
Mate your vans looking 10/10! Well done I bet you’re proud of it! I know I would be! Keep the videos coming I always enjoy your videos 👍🏻👍🏻
It gets better and better well done mate
Awww that's a million
Nout wrong with how you wired in the socket mate..essentially a house is a giant extension lead. How you done it is correct ☺️
I didn't know if I needed a consumer unit between inverter and plug
@@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES consumer unit is used between the hook up on side of van and then any sockets..but that’s because there isn’t a fuse anywhere. As you got fused plug and fused inverter that how a lot of conversion places do it 👍🏻
Great video as always pal
Tidy job but just beware of electric regs.
I wouldn’t bother charging anything off the usb in the socket.
You don’t want to be using the inverter for that when you have a perfectly good 12v supply already.
You are going from dc to ac to go back to dc.
I knew I saw your van at vanlife! Spotted it as soon as I drove in! 🔥 have a good weekend m8
I'm so bad at all this haha, awesome job mate... nicely done!!!!! Looking mega good
looking great but get yourself a consumer unit the breaker on them operates in milliseconds if theres a problem a fuse is nowhere near as fast in case of a problem without it someone could in theory be killed whilst we do use fused extension leads in our houses theres always a consumer unit first ,having lost an uncle to an electrical accident and seeing the devastation that followed as he left behind two young girls who had to go through child hood with out a father ,stay safe my freind your build is excellent but for a few pounds more theres just no point in taking risk to you or your loved ones
Looking good!
However it does look like you may have put the T piece on the diesel heater slightly in the wrong orientation 14:15
You’re right. He said it’s only temporary 🤷🏼♂️🫣
Thanks a million! I didn't even notice that!!
a washing basket is the best thing to stop tghe toilet moving about, we nearly ended with a flipped toilet and the basket was a savoir
What a good idea!
Timber stand board to stop slips in shower could be made to block the toilet in olace
Amazon do a great toilet with removable cassette :) highly recommend! looking good

What do you the call the covering you have your ceiling covered in and where did you get it.
Just a thought. The hole behind the fridge for the cables and such ... will there be a chance for insects and/or mice to get in?
Good jod mate
try WD40 to get the glue of your heater fittings, if you don't get it off, fumes when it warms up. not good. be safe my friend
Not looking bad ricardo ...
Pereonally (personally)id have made a hard board template ,and used a palm router ,for the cut outs (watched plenty of JSK koubou vids 😂)
Only thing that would niggle me ,is on the info panel for soalr (solar)and battery capacity ... that little mark ,in the top right corner ,would iritate me .
But rhe (the)apprentice sid(did) alright ..
Just a small tip for them ,to help gain confidence .. try out task on scrap wood first , then go for it.
Youll do fine !! Keep it up.
P.s. watch a dew(few) of JSL koubou videos , you may pick up helpful tios ,to boost you more . !!!
All the best guys .
And im at it again with my large thumb syndrome ,smelling mistakes
Just thought of another channel for the apprentice , stumpy nubs .
Both these are wood working channels , one even builds their own tools and jigs !
Anyhow ,if that whute mark was a mistake , could always get some of that wax stick ,like a large crayon ,colour matched to blend that area . !
Your tee piece is fitted wrong intake is single outlets are left and right
What make is your toilet and where did you get it from mate
Trilino bud
Make sure you protect your walls from the air fryer , you probably know already
for white mark by first plug near bed buy some colour pencils and get closest coulor or chande that peice of wood as its just an offcut . im sure company would do it for free as all good advertising , i realise you dont want too upset lad who helped so i wont be offended if you delete this so he dosnt see coment love your videos
What battery set up do u have thanks
I think the 240 v cable is not flexible enough for a van
Between the clips do you mean?
@@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES no the type of cable you really need arctic cable it as more strands in it and takes movement better
artic cable is better it responds to temperature changes better
