- This video covers how to install a fully off grid & on grid camper van electrical system. I will cover all the basics around the 230v side of the distribution and also the 12v side. The system demonstrates three methods of charging the leisure batteries; via the VSR, solar charge controller & 12v battery charger for when on hook up. There will be more videos to follow so please don't forget to subscribe if you're interested.

@@TurnersWorkshop97 pleasure mate keep them coming
Well done and good step by step explanation
Thank you Bob 😊
Nice job young man ..watched all your vids on this build. I'm a heavy industrial electrician. So not to jend up with extra low voltage. Never to old to learn.regards stevethespark
Thanks Steve, I really appreciate you following the build 😁 I’m glad I could pass on something you might not have know. Never to old! It’s nice that you have a growth mindset, it’s much better than a fixed one like lots of people have 👍🏼😊
Great video 👏👏👏
Thanks mate 😊
Great video Turner you know your stuff well-explained mate cheers👌.
Cheers mate 👍🏼
Complimenti, un lavoro molto molto bello e soprattutto molto ordinato ✌️👋👋👋
well described, filmed and edited.
Thank you 🙏😁
Fabulous. Thank you. You really have got a excellent system there. Puts mine to shame. Always enjoy your video's as I share your passion and excellent workmanship.
Regards Graeme
Thanks for your kind words Graeme 😊 I’m sure yours is just as good if it suits your requirements. I personally prefer being off grid as it’s cheaper and easier overall 😁👍🏼
I really admire your work ethic and attention to detail, I worked in the caravan and camper industry for over 25 years and your quality is better than anything we ever had enough time to accomplish!
Make sure you fit gas dump vents for the jobs and bottle compartment
Thank you mate, that’s very kind of you. Time is key when working on a budget. Will do thank you 👍🏼😊
Great content as always...really enjoying the build. Can't wait till you are travelling..all the best rich
Thanks Rich, really appreciate that 😊 we can’t wait either! Not long now. Take care mate
Absolutely awesome video been waiting for one like this for a while mate as I'm currently converting at the moment, thanks for the great video 👍👍
Thank you so much, really appreciate your feedback. Best of luck with your conversion and enjoy it 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Very clearly described and such a neat setup!
Thank you mate 😊
EXCELLENT VIDEO, very well done👍👍👍
BTW I couldn't see a link for the back box for the hookup/inverter power supply, could you please add to your shop.
Thank you mate 😊 I completely forgot about that I will add it, thanks for reminding me 👍🏼
That's some really neat work you've done there 👌 just being nosey what do you do for living 👍👏
Cheers mate👌🏻 I am an engineering technician. My apprenticeship was in electrical engineering but I do lots of mechanical work now. 👍🏼
Hi Olly.. Thanks for another great informative video.. You're layout looks really good very tidy.. Will you be putting links up for all the consumer units etc? Cheers Lindsay
Hi Lindsay, it’s my pleasure. Thank you 😊 I have put the product links in the video description. Let me know if it doesn’t work 👍🏼
I love watching the series, really brings things to life 👍 can you advise the best insulation method for the overcab section please? I have some moisture issues in this area and am not sure how to resolve. Cheers
Thank you! 😊I’m not an expert on the condensation issue as I’m just trialing the vapour barrier method myself. But If you can’t insulate and vapour barrier that area then ventilation in that section is key to reducing the condensation. If it’s a cupboard like mine you could perhaps put some vents in it to allow the air to flow through or even a small 12v fan perhaps to help push the air through. And try to limit how much stuff is stored in that space as it will stop the air flowing.
Hi i really enjoyed watching your build and have learned a lot for my own. A quick question. What size fuses are you using around your main isolator. My set up is pretty much identical to yours in a sense of power and draw to the equipment. Thanks
Hey, thanks for watching. It will depend on the size cable you are using to the fuse box and the maximum current draw of all your circuits?
Nice work. What size cable are you using for the solar panels. I'm putting 525w solar, but I've been advised that 4mm squared cable is enough.
Thank you! I have used 6mm as I would rather over-spec. With 524w/12v the maximum current will be 42.75amps. That’s if the panels were 100% efficient, which they aren’t. 6mm cable is rated for 50amps. Also the thicker the cable the less resistance and the more efficient the system will be 😊
Great video again!! I baught a 1997 transit 2.5 turbo with bosh pump and my max revs are 3000 rpm any ideas?
Thanks mate, check the throttle cable isn’t getting caught under the bonnet. If that’s not the issue it could be that you need to adjust the fuel pump max fuel screw so the throttle opens up more. Careful not to over do it though. Where does it sit at idle?
@@TurnersWorkshop97 about 900 rpm
That’s about right for the idle, I’ve had the cable get caught on the part that holds it in place under the Bonet before. Stopped the cable operating all the way.
@@TurnersWorkshop97 i will chek it.thank you!!
@@TurnersWorkshop97 found the trouble .A tube of the fuel filter to the pump didnt allow the hole throtle open fully.Thank you very much!!!!
16:18 What's the hook up outside the van? Is it the brand Noco or you just DIY using industrial 30 amps socket?
I’m not sure what brand it is exactly but It’s a standard 16a camper hook up socket, came with the van when I got it.
@@TurnersWorkshop97 Thank you!
That’s not BS7671:2018+A2:2022
Well spotted, it doesn’t have the latest amendments but it’s still a good base to work from for a self build camper.
@@TurnersWorkshop97 absolutely, looks real smart that 👍🏼
Cheers mate 😊👍🏼
