This is absolutely fantastic! The workmanship you put into that system is top-notch. I'm particularly excited to see the detail you put into the 'how to connect to the starting battery of a Promaster' section on this build. I have not seen that part documented on a promaster as clearly as you showed in this video and I'll definitely be referring people to that section specifically when I get asked about that topic.

I’m a nerd for instructional videos and I’ve been an avid KZitem self learner for over a decade. Hands-down this is the absolute best, most thorough and comprehensive, organized and helpful instructional video I have ever seen; on any subject anywhere. I have no idea what your career involves, but you are a brilliant instructor. Much like myself, you leave no stone unturned in your explanation. I can really appreciate that and I can say also that very few people are able to accomplish that level of clarity. I’m not a pro master or a sprinter person. I’m still good with my 87 Westfalia, nonetheless I was enthralled with your video and could not stop watching. I ended up learning a lot about wiring. And that comes from a guy who’s been doing low-voltage wiring for 30 years, for what that’s worth lol. I hope you will continue to make videos for a very long time on a wide variety of subjects. I know that I will always learn from them.

youve worked this video out very thoughtfully and made it very easy to understand. i noticed you showed 4 different ways to tie in the battery bank and diagonally is the only way to go, it makes the batteries work together, charges them equally and loads them just the same. before i became an rv tech i was diesel tech and this is how we wired our banks together. you will gain maximum MCA or CCA from the batteries. there is a downside though the batteries will wear down togehter and when it comes time to replace them, they all will need replacing but this is offset by the fact you will gain a much longer life out of them.

If it was me I would use a gfci outlet for every outlet. These detect a difference in currents going out of and returning to the receptacle ( .04-.06 milliamperes typically) this way if an appliance faults it won’t become energized The term used by electricians for the connectors used to connect a SO/SOOW cable assembly or single wire in to a box/housing/panel is often referred to as a CGB vs your term “gland” in case someone needs to get an extra one at an electrical supply house. I am impressed with your simple to follow, rudimentary, accurate and step by step instruction and installation of this electrical system. My only extra advice is that there are good reasons for having a manual disconnect switch for every portion of the integrated system especially when troubleshooting or servicing or if a component of the system fails. Perhaps these disconnect switches could be installed just outside of the main battery/inverter compartment in case of a fire. I also like the idea of having the system in a steel or aluminum box ( I realize this could effect Bluetooth connections maybe the dongle could be mounted just outside of it)It will probably never have a catastrophic incident however if it did it a high amperage fault could be ugly. One last thing normally residential/commercial breaker panels are made by a specific manufacturer and typically the panels are UL listed to have only there own brand and model of breaker used in that panel. I noticed you used a Square D single pole 50 amp as well as some Siemens tandem 20 amp breakers in the same 120 volt breaker box. Are both of these brands approved for use in it? I bring this up because I have seen insurance company’s try to deny customer insurance claims because different breakers were used in homes. If I may also recommend insure when you set a clamp ( your shore power socket) that it is on top of the outer Romex insulation/jacketing, otherwise great job.

Using some electrical tape wrapped around your tool can help to avoid accidental arcing ( and wear you safety glasses)

Correct. I do have GFCI outlets in the van and a few master switches for different parts of the system. Electrical tape is a great tool too.

Hi Lauren, just a note to say it looks like you forgot to replace the black cable separators between the Positive and Negative wires on the Lynx Distributor. Great instruction video!

@@LaurenLawliss Hi Lauren, 4x4s point could be worth correcting or checking off with Nat, as the cable separators are likely designed to ensure insulation, under all conditions bar submersion, between the positive and negative.

Wow... Is all I can say. You are a wealth of knowledge! I hatching a plan now for a battery bank in our travel trailer. I want to do as much solar as I can on the roof, and have enough inverted power to run everything for some off grid camping. You seem like a fascinating woman. Definitely subbing!

Amazing video! Although long, it covers the whole installation. One safety concern - the way you presented it. The solar panels were hooked up before you prepared the wires for the solar disconnect switch. It would be good to have a text note that the solar wires are energized if the sun is shining. I assume you did the work indoors so it wasn’t an issue, but others may be working outdoors and should cover the panels or do the work at night. otherwise just an amazing video.
