This video will show you, starttofinish, how we upgraded an existing electrical system in a truck camper.

In this DIY truck camper 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 and mounting a 12V Battle Born Battery Bank, wiring a Victron lynx distributor with a BMV712 Smart Battery Monitor and master disconnect switch, installing a rooftop solar panel array, retrofitting existing solar panels to communicate with the new MPPT solar charge controller, wiring a Victron MultiPlus 2k and splice kit so we can run 120V outlets without the generator, and alternator charging using Anderson connectors. Each chapter will also include a segment on programming and testing each component to best understand your system.
