Jake such a simple and informative video on van electrics, keep it real love catching up with you on your journey.
Another fab video Jake,keep 'em comin'🤟There are so many overly complex wiring videos for vans on UA-cam,you made it real simple,thanks👍🏼
Because you’re interesting and you make me laugh,also you’re doing exactly what I would’ve loved to do when I was younger 👍, you keep it up Jake mate
Nice job, i remember hanging upside down from the turret of ferret scout cars, so feel the pain ;-)
First ,Thank you for your service. Second ,I watch your vids because you keep it real, you show the good the bad etc. Merry Christmas Mate! May 2023 Rock your World!
Thank you very much mate! Merry Christmas 🙏
I remember when i was doing my homework before buying batteries, that lithium doesn't do too well in the cold, Opted for 3x130AH AGM feeding a 1500w inverter with a B2B and 375w Solar panel on the T5 roof running through a Renoghy 40A rover li MTTP controller. Can't even describe how life-changing it makes your van mate. Good job.
Looks a well installed and good equipment. 👌 also you can beat a seat of big out slippers (Crocs)
Handy to get your view on things.. I am doing a complete rewire on the parents van at Christmas, but I am keeping the 240v and 12v Completely separate so they will only get 240 when they plug into a campsite :-P.. All new wires arriving, bus bars, clamps etc.. Just need to get the battery isolator so I can switch the 12v system off if needed
Who thought electrics could be so interesting 😁 Nice one Jake, one step closer to the diesel heater and proper winter comfort. All the best.
Great job Jake. Looks very organized and easy to reach. One step at a time and soon you’ll be done with the hard work and will begin to really enjoy the Van. Stay safe Jake and say hello to Becky as well.🤟🤟
Awesome installation video mate! I would put breakers upstream of the fuses 5A less than the fuses. Breakers can be reset, fuses are a bugger to replace. You can also turn off the left or right system at the breakers. Other than that, check your alternator ratings. You can get heavy duty alternators if needed. Crack on Jake. Good show 👍
Quick 1, make sure you've setup your Victron kit to work with your specific batteries in the app settings. EG: battery type, battery capacity, low voltage levels etc etc 😉 Great video buddy 👌
Nice work mate... simple but useful. You knew what you wanted and built it, you don't need loads of fancy gadgets. Looking forward to seeing the next part plus your future solar setup.
Well helpful video. Watching from Estonia. Out here with ur old reg mate
Gew on laddd! Cheers mate! Hope old Tapa is treating ya well 🤘
nice video mate, just got back from living in my van across europe for 5 months, watched a lot of your videos while building my camper, good to see you're still going strong!
You fryer my brain mate ,but love the energy ☺☺
Hey Jake literally found your channel last night. I was thinking about van life but didn't make a proper decision. You have inspired me to really live the van life. I'm a few years off but I will get there. Keep doing what your doing and loving the content man. Bless up 👍
Bloody brilliant Jake, well done 👍
Ps I can highly recommend the Autoterm diesel heater, I've got one and it's been perfect. It's even got a modem so I can turn it on via text from anywhere 😃
For someone who thought he'd not be very good at electrics, well done matey! You've got this! - You are a very lucky man right now with your van, becky & your life. Keep up the good work. Message me and hopefully we can link up sometime, I'm looking at doing another conversion soon x
Nice mate, love your videos 👍
Great video Jake, keeping it basic, keeping it simple nice and safe, keep up the great content love the vlogs bud.
I hope it all works out for you Jake. Positivity dude. I think the van will be sorted in no time. Thanks for explaining Dumbledor.
That’s a HUGE! battery bank. Nice.
I’ve enjoyed following your journey along since the beginning jake
And look forward to doing so for a long time to come.
Just a safety heads up mate
You need to put a fuse close to the starter battery on the cable feeding to the rear of the van.
If something does damage that cable and it shorts to earth
There is no protection and that cable will heat up and cause a fire.
Stay safe mate and keep the vids coming
Thank you so much mate, appreciate that!
Shout! Will nip that! 🙏
Looking good Jake, roll on the next video ! 😀
Great vid, put a fuse off battery on main positive feed so if the cable has an accident all you lose is a fuse not the whole van… cheers
Cheers Jake, was waiting on this! As you said, the easiest leccy vid. Merry Xmas, stay safe
Great video Jake 👍
So many comments I want to make! We all want to see you with your hair standing straight up, saying you're buzzin when playing with electrickery is brilliant! I totally understand getting batteries in and out of any armour is a knuckle bleeding pain in the ass and there's always some joker ready to belt the wagon with a mast hammer to make you sh1t yourself! Van is coming along really well mate. Hope you and Girl Outdoors have a great Christmas.
Gotta be done mate! 😂
There’s always that guy with the hammer! 😂
Thank you mate! Have a good one ya self! 🤘
Well done jake .its falling into place now .no stopping u mate .stay safe happy Xmas from Ireland
Thank you mate! You too! 🙏
Canon lookin crispy afffff bro! Hopefully done in time for Xmas trip 🎉🎉
Well done our kid, top lad ✊🏻
Did you use a heavy duty crimping tool for them cable lugs. As that's where the fire will start
Sorry I was getting distracted by Sally Nugent ont telly. Gigetty.
great work mate
Keep going mate 👍
Spot on
Jake your funny man👍
A nice tidy job but have you got covers for those bus bars? A spanner falling across the two of them would be quite spectacular but would probably fcuk up everything you've done.
Also, it's a good idea to secure the batteries to the floor with straps or something similar. If you have a high speed crash and the van turns over those things flying at the back of your head would do some damage.
Have a bostin Christmas.
Yeah got those to go on Tony :)
And that’s in the pipe line too 🤘
Thanks mate! You too! 🤙
Looks like a proper job mate. Well done. Do you have the ability to choose whether you want to you the leisure batteries or not?
Sweet mate 💪💪💪💪
You got the charging coming from the main battery and not the alternator? What stops the house batteries (excuse me, leisure batteries) from draining the starter battery when the engine is not running?
The DC-DC chargers are sat between the starter and ‘house’
The DC-DC’s are only active when the engine is running as they only cut in & draw charge when they notice an increase in voltage to the starter battery :)
Power 💪
Couple of questions for you - could you not stack the batteries, to give you more underseat storage? Have you considered using/making battery heaters, given our current (no pun intended) cold snap, seeing as you are using LiFePO4 🤔
Good luck with the rest of your build chap.
Intents to fit my inverter over the one closest to the front & the other gives me enough room for extra bits / circulation, those dc-DC’s get v hot :)
@@JakesJourneyMate not a problem fella. As with every van build, we all need to plan ahead to save rejigging at a later date. That said, is any van build complete, once finished.
DC-DC do get warm however remember that heat only rises 👍 I'd hate to see you lose a battery, when it's needed the most..
Are you not going to add an inverter to run 240v and guessing you haven’t upgraded the alternator ?
240 inverter ready to go in mate :) no need for an alternator upgrade, they’re good for about 150amp :)
👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🏴
Are you going to be setting up solar or just off the van? Also I don’t understand, if you hooked it up to the main van battery, how does it now draw power from the van itself?
At a later point yes mate! :)
The DC-DC’s are only active when the engine is running as they only cut in & draw charge when they notice an increase in voltage to the starter battery :)
@@JakesJourneyMate very smart
The red cable, can you let me know the thickness again, you sure it’s 35mm? That s like an inch and a half🤔🤔
yay but not convinced on a cold weld
FYI: My account was hacked and I have had to close it and start over. Not sure how it happened but I am gutted and well pissed off.
Badger! Lol :)
See you soon hopefully bro! Miss ya! ♥️
@@JakesJourneyMate hopefully mate, gonna be in the peaks over Xmas doing some hiking and getting drunk with badgers :) double lively!! :)
No links below!
Done now mate :)
👍🏼🛠️🚐🔋
Im sure you could run a 250 watt blow heater off a 240 volt inverter now at least to keep the crack of your arse draft free for a bit.
Nice work dude
