With my 12V electrical system complete, I just needed to add some plug sockets to allow me to charge things like laptops and phones, as well as plug in a TV and other similar appliances.
These things all rely on a 230V AC system, which is why I previously installed a Victron Phoenix Inverter which converts DC to AC.
Using a standard household plug, I connected a consumer unit to my inverter. The consumer houses a single RCBO and from that I connected three double plug sockets in a radial circuit.
An RCBO is essentially an MCB and an RCD combined and are slightly more expensive but perfect for when you only have one electrical output.
If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment below.
