Simple DIY Van Electrical | Ford Econoline

This a walk-through of how we did our simple , easy , and inexpensive campervan electrical system. First you need to think about how much electricity you're going to want. Things like air conditioners, heaters, refrigerators and microwaves use a lot. If you don't plan to use those things in when you're camping, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on your electrical system. Solar panels are great if you plan to leave your van off for more than a few days, but if you are moving around, the alternator will generate more than enough power to justify the cost of solar panels. It seems like a lot of people just want them for the 'look'. With this system you can always add them later if you find yourself running out of juice.
