Great film really helpful I am going to copy this set up in my van. The only question I have is why are all the red wires with fuses off the back of the switch panel loose? They all wobble freely and have a part of the spade connector outside the sleeving. It’s the same panel as you have
I would think about using the isolation switch to activate a relay. That way all of the current from all of the accessories on the switch panel is not going through the switch. Those switches contacts will melt down over time with as little as 10 amps. Much safer with a relay(most automotive relays can handle 40-50 amps). Just a thought.
Sorry but I'm just a rookie in this. One question, isn't it possible to use one of the switches present on the pannel, to use it as isolation pannel, instead of using an additional one? tnx
You can, just swap the load wire and power live on the furthest switch on the right where jumped cables finish with 2 wires going back to battery. By the way these switches are 5Amp and not 20Amp on the product details so can be dangerous if high rated appliances are used..
I was going to do this with my five pin switches, but unless I did it only for the accessory lights on the switch itself wouldn’t I run the risk of melting wires or melting the isolation switch itself? I would think the extra switch either needs to hold a high amperage, or you would have to get one of those switches that goes directly from the battery or like I said just use the isolation to save power and just control the lights on the switch itself because all the power going through there to the switches and then the switches are powering is going to be drawn through the isolation switch

thanks for info i do have an isolator ill dig it out

yes but i need all mine i have done a video on using a single switch on my chanel
@@MrMeltedwellies I've found only 2 videos of your and they are quite similar. Could you be so kind to point me the one you are talking about. Tnx

Hi where did you get the bus bar from? 😊

Good demonstration.
Can you put that that straight on the panel cos my main and earth doesn't come from the cigarette lighter it comes of a switch..... I give up 😂
Nice one sir 🤘
Cheers David
That?
Is a very bad idea unless you are going to use? A relay it will get on fire. Too much amps
neat
