VAN LIFE : SOLAR CABLE ENTRY GLAND INSTALL - SOLAR WIRING THROUGH MY ROOF - SPRINTER VAN CONVERSION

Hey everyone! Today I'm installing the entry gland for my solar panel wiring. Really easy job to do. I used the everland gland. I chose this one because it accepts a wider range of cable: 3mm² to 12mm². The solar cables I used were 10awg and came with mc4 connectors. (Link below) If this is your first time watching my channel, I'm building a 2018 Mercedez Sprinter 2500 rwd and making youtube videos as I go.
Enjoy!

If you use a step drill bill, the hole is cleaner, easier to make than changing drill bits 5 times.

[@osirisvans8391]

Agreed

During the final shot I could see metal chips on the roof.
Needs a either a magnet run over the surface, something sticky to pick up the chops, or a good wash.

life sure is easier with a step-up bit

Thanks for the vid! My gf wants to know who made the music in the background. She likes it. Lol

[@amandawallace8841]

How do you remove the connectors for the wire to fit through the hole you made?

[@osirisvans8391]

They just thread on and off.

Hello mate how is the entry gland holding up, nearly a year now. Looking at installing one on my truck, cheers.

[@osirisvans8391]

Perfectly fine. Use sea view global entry glands though. Wayyyy higher quality

[@johnbergholm]

Which way did you face the cable openings on the gland?

[@osirisvans8391]

Towards the front of the van. Haven't noticed any sound or noise.

[@johnbergholm]

Osiris Vans great, thx.

[@sarahschweickart1050]

what size drill bit did you use?

[@osirisvans8391]

I forget. I think we did 3/8". Just remember to step up bits. (start small and slowly work your way up) Guess you could try a literal "step-up bit" Good luck!!!

[@osirisvans8391]

Also, remember to paint the metal and use gromets

[@nakedvader]

soundtrack??? why??

[@osirisvans8391]

Because.
