The old saying: buy cheap, buy twice. I do appreciate you having to watch your budget at time of building though. I love watching people like pops working. I’d like to be able to work like that but I’m a bit dopey/clumsy 😂
Looking at the cabling u might want to consider increasing the size, the lower the voltage the higher the current , hence the right size cabling is a must to prevent fire risk etc, a smoke alarm and easy access to isolate would help aswell
I love your channel and it makes it even better when you have yor Dad in troubleshooting the electrical and you two win!! Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ My Dad has also been a big help and this is why I just love this!!! Safe travels now!!😊😊😊
Hi great video great to see the ledge your dad helping to sort your electric out what he doesn’t know glad you have it sorted and now it on your phone to really look forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😊👍🏻
Hiya. Your dad is a saviour ... But please please please get him to change the cheep respectable fuse in the wheel arch... you're better off replacing it with a better quality fuse.. they tend to have a habit of not tripping at the required ampage..
Hey up mi duck! Sounds like a learning experience, well done fixing the problem. I’m currently installing a DC to DC charger for my Ibex trailer from my truck for off grid camping.
Hi Becca, Feel like I've earnt some sort of Electrical Qualification by watching this...🤔🤭Glad the 'Royal We' got it sorted!👍As ever your Dad's a Hero...👏👏👏Btw I'm sure your cackle's getting worse...Cheers Jim💚🌳X
I hope your alternator is up for the job. I got Orion TR 18 in my Ford Transit, and I will get another charger but the new one as these old TR ones have a tendency to overheat and then lower the output.
It might be worth getting your dad to draw up a few simple wiring diagrams in case you're somewhere and you have another problem. At least you would have something to show another leckie. All the best,
You could have got the non isolated DC-DC charger as the battery and charger use the same ground i.e the vans chassis. Non isolated is for when they don't share a common ground. (Just friendly advice BTW)
The van is wired isolated. We don’t share a common ground between the vehicle electrics and the van accommodation electrics. didn’t want the chance of setting up earth loop issues with the vehicles computers and the living area electrical systems. especially with the inverter 12vdc negative. You use more cable but my piece of mind. Pops.
Return the Orion TR and buy the XS, its smaller and more powerful but doesn’t overheat. Watch Mispronounced adventures he has to add a fan to keep it charge at 30A. Buy Fogstar batteries and Victron electrics. You will always be good. Buy from 12v planet they offer great advice
Wow , clever dad , I have a question for dad = yes I know it’s naughty of me but promise I will stand on the naughty step for at least ten minutes, so can I borrow you dad’s brain for a moment? Payment will be a bad joke at the end of message or probably short story , I was thinking about building a sand battery for the green house with PTC elements roughly six elements which have two wires with each element so is there a junction box I could use to connect 12 wires in total and then get an item that I could get that when I plug it into the 240 volt socket this item whatever it is will reduce it to the 12 volt needed for the PTC elements , sorry for long message or short story but obviously only a little sorry , I know you’re waiting for the brilliant joke = how do you stop a fish from smelling = cut it’s nose off , yes I know it was worth the wait , take care sweet soul = it had to be me .
Your Dad is brilliant. Glad you are back on the road.
Glad your all sorted now mate 🎉 the bond you have with your dad is special, it reminds me of me and my daughter ❤❤

Your dad's a top man ..Good on ya pop....
Dad to the rescue again Becca, you're a lucky lass!
Bet the Guenter Steiner evening was fantastic, I couldn't get tickets...

Awesome video, excellent team work your both clever ❤
Interesting bit at 24:22 where it looks like you can see 2 cables wrapped around a heat sink. Not great 😠
Well done dad. Well explained vlog 👌💙❤
Very complicated 😂 keep simple ❤

As always 👌👌👌👌
The more complicated the electric s the more chance of something going rong I'm afraid.
Plus you’ll lose amps with that cable
