I like your videos. They simplify things rather than showing off contrived and complicated build ideas.

I just have one question...with so much available space in the battery compartment, why is everything jammed into one tight corner? I know it provides more storage space, but spreading the components out a bit may help with heat removal and any future maintenance. Not trying to be critical, just curious. I'm doing the same with my Suburban, but my compartment will not be as spacious as what you have available. I'm thinking of adding a temp controller and a 4" muffin fan to help with airflow if it gets too warm. May also add a relay to isolate the solar power when the engine is running and let the DCDC provide charging, and solar back in when the engine is not running. Nice setup...a lot of work obviously went into it.

The reason I jammed everything in that corner is that I wanted to be able to add another battery and larger inverter if I needed to. As far as turning your solar off while driving it will give you full capacity while driving, but I would only use that if you really need to and it’s not sunny for an extended period of time. I do have a solar isolation switch (this is a must) so that I don’t backfeed the system while I work on it. I have had it in for 2 years now and it’s never overheated. I have a thermometer in the compartment.

Hi thanks for the video. I'm trying to understand if the negatives wires for the lights, outlets, etc have to go back to the fuse block or can they just go to ground on the vehicle?

The wires for the lights will be connected to the positive and negative side of your fuse block. Then your fuse block needs to be grounded to the van. Hope that helps! 🤙🏼

You can ground them anywhere that is in metal contact with the fuse block, save a lot of unnecessary wire.

Nice!!! what is the total cost you spent on your solar/electrical system?

I spent about $1000 USD! That was for all the main components. When I was pricing it out compared to a goal zero yeti it was less expensive for more power!
