Van Electrical Design and Installation

This DIY power system guide will cover the basic components of designing and building a midsize camper van electrical system. I'll explain how to size and charge your battery bank, how to make safe and reliable connections, how to properly size wire and fuses and how to monitor your system. With easy to understand diagrams and examples from my 2023 Ram Promaster build, you'll acquire the knowledge and confidence to build your own power system. If you're a fan of Victron and Battleborn products, you have found the tutorial for you. Throughout the video, I have referenced several specific products I used.
