Your channel is by far my favourite of all camper van builders dude. Just a pleasure to watch, not just for your awesome insight but also to observe the sheer level of quality in the work you produce. Really really impressive. Much respect to you.
Finally, someone who shows how to do the regular wiring! Heavenly Father, bless this man! I’ve seen so many videos of wiring solar panels to batteries but have been having a hard time finding a good tutorial for where the power meets the appliance. Thank you!!
I've been watching RV videos for a few yrs now and have often wondered about wiring to one of these batteries. Seems REALLY simple now that you've shown how its done, I almost feel pretty silly for not grasping it in the 1st place. A big thank you for this video! keep em coming!
I am very sorry for the loss of your father. I pray that you, and your family are doing well. I can only imagine that he was extremely proud of you! You are a very talented person, and I enjoy watching your builds. Awesome job!
I've always had trouble with electrical stuff because I thought it was complicated but you just made it look so easy. I now have the confidence and know how to tackle this on my own! Thank you!
Very detailed video, great job! FYI, the 10A cigarette port may be inadequate to handle the entire load of a van. Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Goal Zero have models with high output (30A) DC ports that use a more secure connection (Anderson or Aviation).
Keep up the good work bro in a couple yrs you'll have your own fully functioning company. Keep getting that bred. Also I have been watching you for 3-4yrs now. Take care 🫡
Hello! Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have a Bluetti AC500 system with two batteries that I bought to use in my skoolie build. We currently use it in winter to run our pellet stove during power outages in our house, but I want to be able to move the system to the bus when I go on the road. I have been thinking of wiring the bus without the ‘brains’ of the power system as a permanent part of the build but I only had a vague sense of what to do. This video is LITERALLY the missing link I needed. I really enjoy the creative thinking you bring to your videos. Thank you again, this is just what I needed!
So happy I found you and your channel again! I saw you on RUclips when you first started out and hadn't subscribed right away, and then lost you and couldn't find you....until today! Subscribed immediately. Love all your builds/information/skills-for-days. Thanks for all your hard work. Very sorry for the loss of your Dad. Praying for comfort and peace for you and your family.
Hey, DualEx. So sorry to hear about your Dad, much respect to you and your family. Listen, after watching your video, I feel like I'm in my old computer classes from years ago. Please, by all means, continue with this. Take care. ✌🏽
Dude I love that you show in depth how to do everything. I work in a mechanic shop and it’s so refreshing to see someone teaching and and not gate keeping. Keep it up man I love your stuff!
Great informative video! You explained and demonstrated it so well, I think I can give it a go! I've always had an aversion towards electrical projects but you made it look so easy a child could do it! 😃 Thanks so much!!
Incredible video, well done as usual and just what I'm looking for my cargo conversion. I didn't see the link for that AC/DC distribution/fuse box in your Amazon list? What is the unit called/brand or a link please??
Thank you. I always wanted to know how to wire electricity. You make it so simple although I will watch your video a few more times just to do it right. You're amazing. By the way very clean hands and fingernails. Great instructor.
I love this, because while I understand the basics of "home wiring", this helped to understand that little bit that I wasn't quite wrapping my head around. Thanks!
Dude! This Was Amazing! *Sife Note ~ I May Be Bias Because I'm A General Contractor But I Can Tell You I Have Watched A LOT Of Vids On Turning My Tacoma Into A Home When I'm Traveling & Take It All Out EASY & FAST As Possible For My Jobs! You Are Easily The Best At Breaking Down What You Are Doing Into What "Homeowners" Can Easily Understand!!! Many Props To You & Your Knowledge & Basically Verbage For All!💯👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You really need to add rubber circular grommets in your roof cable holes to protect from chafing and electrical shorts/fires.. Like other vehicles, these should be added anytime you pass live wires through sheet metal or bulkheads. they can be added to current installation by making one cut and spiraling them into place.
Man, you are so talented and gifted that this doesn't make any sense. You do awesome work. I am truly jealous. God bless you and keep doing your thing.
I appreciate your teacher’s mindset trying to spread knowledge and love. I didn’t need the knowledge this time, but I appreciate you no less my brother.
You are excellent at explaining things in a way that I feel I could actually replicate this and not mess it up or get too frustrated but it's interesting enough and right to the point so my Adhd brain hasn't wandered off yet. Thank you
Thank you so much this is exactly what I wanted to see. Every video I've seen about electrical has involved hooking up batteries to chargers and inverters and all that stuff, and I'm perfectly happy with my little box that has all that stuff in one unit like your Anker. But I didn't have much info on how to connect it up to outlets and appliances around the van and this will be helpful
I wish these companies would start upping the DC output to 20a or so on these smaller power stations. I think Pecron is the only one that has done it with the E1500LFP which has 300-400w DC output.
My friend, I'm on Long Island New York and I have an offer, a serious offer to you. Actually I think you would be doing me the favor. I have a 25 foot shuttle bus and I need the heat, AC, lights and radio to run when the bus is off, completely off. I don't think running the heat or AC for four hours a day will work off solar; and I think the best combination would be a generator hidden underneath as well as a shore power system as well so I can plug in if needed. My question is to you, will you come build this for us? I know you will do it proper and will pay you for your time of course. I am putting it out there.....
Thank you so very much for the sharing of your time and expertise with solar wiring, fuses, and breakers. I now feel confident to take on the challenge of hooking up a small solar system to my shed (not yet built, though; but, soon to come). I am gathering as much knowledge as I possibly can in preparation to the build. Thanks again!!!
Great video, and I appreciate the honesty in the end about going the circular outlet route to save time or money. I want to get a van I can stand inside and rig it similarly to this van, as I want a desk space like you have here.
Another banger bruh. Oh yeah, I got my SolixC1000 on day 1. It's the right size & portability to ride up front and power my small dc fridge. Much appreciated the tutorial.
We sold our 1984 Toyota new horizon motor home last year. I watched all of your views during our remodeling and it makes me happy to see your growth brother. Hopefully I can buy one of these solar generators for my next build. -Dave
Ok. Let’s just get to the point. You are amazing!!! Electrical set up confuses me but you did such a good job I actually ‘kinda’ understand where as an hour ago I was just nope. Actually feeling like I may be able to do this. I have a Bluetti AC200MAX so hopefully it will power what I WANT not necessarily NEED. Good job and thanks for giving an old lady some confidence!
Dualex i wish when people would say what size of wire one uses for this configuration and have not seen one do it ? You do a very detialed job on most things but for the aveage joe it would help. I am doing it for my mini van and i got 6 awg from battery to my victron dc to dc charger 30 amp with two 50 amp breaker and 10 awg to the 6 spot fuse bar then on to my ac200p Bluetti which is 2000 watts. and accessory wires ? Not sure but are much smaller. I got 4 - 100 watts of solar but the wire configuration to the battery is done . I hope this setup charges my battery when driving with solar and dc to dc charger. Thanks Pat
At 3:55 he mentions ‘make sure you get the proper sized wire’ Can someone please tell me what is this component called please? And what is the correct sized wire for this? THANK YOU 👍
This is very helpful. The Anker portable power station is less than impressive, but I'm def keeping this for when I finally (hopefully soon) get to put a van together.
Hey D, I’ve been really curious to see how you wire your cameras. I’ve been wanting to wire my van with side and rear cams but have it so they are always on when the vehicle is running. Would love your input
Awesome vid my dude! So i would assume instead of the cig lighter outlet which would only charge the power station at 100 watts, i could run cable straight from the car battery to an 500 watt inverter with a fuse to power/charge the power station at 400 watts or what the car/truck altenator puts out? Would you have a swtich in-between dc and solar to charge the power station or just unplug one source and plug in the other? Thanks im tunned in!
The Anker power station he has a take up to 400 watts of solar input. With this device it’s pretty much a “Plug and Play” machine, so hooking up the panels is very easy, and straightforward and you can just plug them into the back of this machine.
I’m a 47 year old mom who does a lot of misc. tasks around house and this video popped up and checked it out. Wow God blessed u with so many gifts including a platform to be a witness thru! Also sorry to hear of ur loss.
You can tell how popular he is because he has a scammer trying to get people to contact them. Dang shame that you have to watch out for scum bags just because you want to see a good video.
Condolence to you and your family. Oh my goodness. My wife and I just watched part 1 and 2… awesome amazing videos. Looking forward to seeing other ones. Thank you for sharing. Happy 2024 to you.
Such an amazing job explaining the what and the how!! Bravo😊 I’m so intimidated by electrical systems. I’ve done a lot of home remodeling and updates and I always shy away from the electric but the way you described and explained everything makes me feel like I could tackle that if I needed to.
Just Wanted To Send Out A Huge Thank You, I'm In Process Of Updating A 32ft 1984" Chieftain Winnebago. Being Able To Remove All The Old & Big Outdated Electronics. An Renovating It With New Modern Electronic Technology! Has Made My Project Not Only Cheaper, But Easier! Big Thanks & Respect To You For Teaching Us Who Are Not As Knowledgeful & Talented To Do Our Projects Right The First Time! 😎
Love the video. It's given me a lot of inspiration for my first build. Can you provide a link the 12v / AC fuse box? I really like how everything can be connected in one space.
Good job bro! Keep doing your thing bro. I was a friend of your father. He was so proud of you and loved you much. 🖤💪🏽
Your channel is by far my favourite of all camper van builders dude. Just a pleasure to watch, not just for your awesome insight but also to observe the sheer level of quality in the work you produce. Really really impressive. Much respect to you.

Damn. Did you build another van? Are you secretly Tony Stark? lol
This was so easy to understand! Thank you so much for making this video!!
This was awesome and so helpful. Thank you for the links and free build plans! You're the best! 🥰🥰

yo man tried emailing you one more time and figured i'd just make sure my emails are actually going through!
Sir!, thank you so very much for your time and information to us out here!!! Way cool stuff!

I'm a simple man, I see a DualEx video and I watch immediately. Hope I can use this info some day soon!
super clever guy, and so easy to understand/follow, BRILLIANT, UK
This is the electrical DIY I've been needing! Great job!
I know this is a silly question...how do you know what size fuses/breakers are required for all of your various bits??
Awesome video bro, i enjoy every video that you post
I Love this van build sooo Thank You watching your video Now Happy Saturday 🙌🏽💯👍🏽🫶🏾
Thank you! I love it when someone explains things slowly and thoroughly! Also, Your soothing voice is a plus!😁
You really need to add rubber circular grommets in your roof cable holes to protect from chafing and electrical shorts/fires.. Like other vehicles, these should be added anytime you pass live wires through sheet metal or bulkheads. they can be added to current installation by making one cut and spiraling them into place.
Man, you are so talented and gifted that this doesn't make any sense. You do awesome work. I am truly jealous. God bless you and keep doing your thing.
I appreciate your teacher’s mindset trying to spread knowledge and love. I didn’t need the knowledge this time, but I appreciate you no less my brother.
What size wire should be used for the main 30amp breaker. 15 amp I know is 14 gauge.
Wow! You’re really showing us how to do electrical work…😂
Your going to go far my friend your craftsmanship is epic and you explain things very well thank you 😊
You are excellent at explaining things in a way that I feel I could actually replicate this and not mess it up or get too frustrated but it's interesting enough and right to the point so my Adhd brain hasn't wandered off yet. Thank you
Your vans always look durable and beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time out to do this video for us. Amen

Have you ever thought about doing a Skoolie conversion, specifically a larger 30-45ft bus?
👎👎THE WAY YOU WIRED THAT IS ALL WRONG!!!!!!!
What's wrong with you dude......
Just kidding, great job. Keep it up!
I love the little threaded wire caps! I think I’m learning!
Great video, and I appreciate the honesty in the end about going the circular outlet route to save time or money. I want to get a van I can stand inside and rig it similarly to this van, as I want a desk space like you have here.

Absolutely awesome thanks for sharing
Sending those daily positive vibes from Houston everyone!
Have a good day bud!

It's much more difficult to play tennis with a bowling ball than it is to bowl with a tennis ball.
Simple. I like that😊
Very helpful
Ayeeeeee
What gauge fork connectors should I buy to change the plug outlets throughout my house? I think they are 110...like the ones you connected.
thank you sir, this is really helpful
Where did you learn how to do all this? You are so knowledgeable!
Great tutorial, thanks! Will there be a part two for hooking up a solar panel to charge the power bank? Love watching your build videos :)
The Anker power station he has a take up to 400 watts of solar input. With this device it’s pretty much a “Plug and Play” machine, so hooking up the panels is very easy, and straightforward and you can just plug them into the back of this machine.
Hey DualEx, FYI there's a scam on a reply to my last comment. Guess that means a hack happened.
You do amazing work! And I don't there's anything you can't do or figure out!!!!
Love your channel man......always good to learn from you bro
I’m a 47 year old mom who does a lot of misc. tasks around house and this video popped up and checked it out. Wow God blessed u with so many gifts including a platform to be a witness thru! Also sorry to hear of ur loss.
hey i emailed you back about the van
Are you near las vegas? I need help with my 1974 Argosy, Airstream
Builder man is back! Awesome vid, dualie
You can tell how popular he is because he has a scammer trying to get people to contact them. Dang shame that you have to watch out for scum bags just because you want to see a good video.
Very skillful and informative. Good job man
great video. simplified it well!
I understand now! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for doing this video and all the information you provide us.
You are an inspiration. Great video today! Thanks.
Excellent teaching! You are truly amazing 😊!
Brah I alway wondered this. But I do have one question, how do you know what fuses to use? Thanks
Condolence to you and your family. Oh my goodness. My wife and I just watched part 1 and 2… awesome amazing videos. Looking forward to seeing other ones. Thank you for sharing. Happy 2024 to you.
I love your videos. You are a very talented individual. Well done!
I just want to say thank you. Your video is very informative and it has given me lots of ideas.
Hi
am new to this so my question is how do you know what size fuse to use for your fan or light 🙏
WoW! So glad I found your channel. You are amazing. Please keep doing what you do! Also, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dad. Much love
This was very helpful thank you so much. Don
Such an amazing job explaining the what and the how!! Bravo😊 I’m so intimidated by electrical systems. I’ve done a lot of home remodeling and updates and I always shy away from the electric but the way you described and explained everything makes me feel like I could tackle that if I needed to.
