Follow
EXPLORIST life Mobile Marine & Off-Grid Electrical

This video will show you, starttofinish, how we installed a full DIY Camper Van electrical system into this 2021 Ford Transit Camper Van.

In this transit electrical install, we cover a wide range of topics, so we have included chapters at the bottom of this description if you need to find a specific part of the install.

This comprehensive video will cover wiring a 24V Battery Bank, building the battery enclosure for the camper out of 80/20, wiring a battery heater, wiring a lynx shunt and lynx distributor, installing a rooftop solar panel array, installing a ground deploy solar array, wiring a Victron MultiPlus, wiring the chassis ground in a camper van, wiring a 24V Nomadic A/C, wiring a 24V to 12V Victron Orion converter, wiring two 12V fuse blocks, wiring a 120V breaker box, wiring 30A shower power to the MultiPlus, wiring the Victron Cerbo GX and GX Touch 70 (with an HDMI hack!), mounting batteries to the camper van, wiring the battery bank to a lynx shunt, wiring a solar isolator, wiring an auxiliary solar port, and finally, programming and testing our electrical system in the van.
