the holes sealed over and air tight as they are so shouldn't be a problem at all, by the time it rusted if it did rust, the van would be scrapped anyway
Hi Mate, question, the Victron controler acording to there website is only good for 200w on 12 volts, you have 270w panel, could be a problem over powering the Victron unit
These controllers will handle an input of 75v and the max output is 15a, no concerns at all as the controller handles all voltages / amps etc and dissipated any excess via its heatsink. It would also be a rarity the panel hits maximum output unless there was a load and the batteries were considerably discharged, otherwise they sit on float tickover all the time
The MPPT controller you are using should be used with a max 200w panel (that's what it states in the discription from your link ) aren't you using a 250w panel ?
Great job! Only thing I would do differently is to put some paint on the holes of the roof to prevent corrosion.

Another good job, looks like your flying with it now some nice cabinets coming on there
yes not far off now, the videos are a couple weeks behind actual progress
Fantastic vlog buddy!
Glad you enjoyed it

On paper you are correct. However he will prob. never see more that 200 watts from that panel so he's ok.
whats the blue box below the solar charger ?
A Victron 800w Inverter
What bolts you used on the roof of the van please
Just standard M8 bolts with nylon locking nuts

Wasted money on a big panel with it m8 hasn't he but each to there own good video though
