Van conversion products: electrical

Split charge relay

Volt sensing relay for charging leisure batteries from the engine. This is a decent heavy duty one that has never failed me

Go to product

Midi fuse holder

I use midi fuses for my main battery fuses. This holder lets you conveniently mount the fuse on a nearby surface

Go to product

Pure sine inverter

The best inverter I've tried so far. It's low noise and has eco-mode. 

Go to product

Automotive cable

For the split charge cable use at least 16mm size cable 

Go to product

Crimp connectors

For terminating automotive cable for connection to battieres, and possibly other things

Go to product

Heat shrink sleeve

For insulating crimp terminations. 

Go to product

Solar panel mount

Use these if you don't have a roofrack to mount your solar panels on to

Go to product

Fusebox

This fusebox has a built-in negative busbar and easily enough fuse slots for most conversions

Go to product

Cable ties

I use these a lot to keep everything neat and tidy – messy wires are confusing and stresssful 

Go to product

Blade fuses

For the main fusebox. It's handy to keep a selection of these fuses for spares

Go to product

LED downlights

These are the lights I have. Low profile and low power consumption. They don't have a blue hue like most LEDs

Go to product

Solar panel 

This is the current solar panel I have. I think it's a great size vs power combination AND it's a great price 

Go to product

Solar charge controller

This has been the best solar controller I've used so far. I should have got this one in the beginning

Go to product

USB charge supply

To have efficient USB charging in your van – instead of plugging your charger into the inverter

Go to product

Solar cable duct

The neatest way to bring the solar panel cables through the van roof to inside. 

Go to product

MC-4 T-piece connectors

For connecting two solar panels together in parallel

Go to product

Electrical tape

Always handy. You can use it if you don't have any heat shrink sleeving, to finish around crimp connections

Go to product

Multimeter

Essensial for finding faults when/if things go wrong

Go to product

Mains battery charger

I use this when my van is connected to mains hook-up. Now discontinued. Link is for the updated version

Go to product

Mains hookup cable

I keep one of these on my roof so I can connect to mains power if it's available. 

Go to product

Mains incomer

To safely bring mains 'hookup' power inside the van. Inside is an RCD and MCB 

Go to product

Isolator switch

Used as a main cut off swtich from the batteries – aka 'battery isolator'.
