Vauxhall Vivaro Camper Van Conversion (Day 13)

Day 13 of this Vauxhall Vivaro Camper Van Conversion. In this video I am fitting the cabinets into the van and doing the main electrics and leisure battery. The van conversion is coming along and will now start to come together real quickly.

Hi from central Otago southern new Zealand 👋 I'm glad you kept track of the wiring 😂 electricity and I have an understanding, I don't muck around with wires and it doesn't take my hand off😂 I don't have electricity in my tiny house and it's inconvenient occasionally especially with light in mid winter, but it's a minor inconvenience. I actually have a solar panel and a inverter generator but they're still packed away, I've never used them once. 😂 I use a headtorch for light and it does the job but I don't have anyone else in here either, so it's fine for me. I was impressed with the van wiring though, very nice job, tidy and convenient. Great video 👍👋

Thanks a lot.....I had to study quite a bit to gain knowledge of how to do the 12v wiring....but you need a good plan and just take one element at a time.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the very interesting video. I am very curious to all the electrics, it looks pretty complicated to me, how you know what goes where with the wiring? It starts to look very good man, compliments on that for sure! You do a very inspiring job mate, keep those vids coming!!!

[@dave-watson]

Thanks....yes the wiring takes some planning and sticking to the instructions that come with the various elements. The van is really starting to take shape and should be done in a few more days.

Hya Dave. I really am enjoying this series on your van conversion. The only thing that causes me concern is those breakers. There are many other youtube channels which have pointed out the dodgy nature of that particular breaker type - them being a really bad fire risk. In my system I used heavy duty mega fuses and manual switch breakers.

[@dave-watson]

Yes I looked at some of them videos....I always test the breakers to make sure that they are cutting off the current and so far so good....never had a problem with them. Thanks.
