DIY Camper Van Electrical Setup for BEGINNERS | Where To Start

Hey everyone! This week we're coming at you with an informational video all about where to start with your DIY camper van electrical system. This video is intended for those who are just starting out with their build and have no experience in electrical whatsoever. We discuss 120v vs 12v power, planning your wiring, choosing wire gauge, batteries, inverter, solar power, different ways to charge, and so much more!

DISCLAIMER: We are not electrical engineers nor do we have any professional experience in the field. The goal of this video is simply to explain the basics of your electrical setup through a beginners perspective. If you are not comfortable installing your own electrical setup in your van or camper, we always recommend getting help from a professional. Better safe than sorry!

We hope that you find this video helpful in some way, and if you did, let us know in the comments what the most helpful tip was! We love to hear from you guys. Happy van building!
