DISCLAIMER: In this video I always made sure to keep the wires apart to avoid a short. It worked out however I should have taped off the ends of the wire in the first place to be more on the safe side. Alternatively I could have put a tarp on the solar panels to turn off the solar panels. Also: the white housing is completely waterproof, so the wires that go through the housing are sealed off 100% by a rubber that gets closed as the screws are tighened.
You'll be at a million before Christmas if I have anything to do with it!! (I've been telling everyone I know about your channel for the last couple of years when appropriate! Lol 😅🤦🏻 ) In the meantime, keep making great content! Once I get some things out the way I'll be buying some things for sure.. (survival knife 🔪 will be 1st on the list for sure!!! -As I've wanted one for 2 years! - being a Man! Englishman (with Viking genes!) ...Plus Youll also now need to design & make a Personalised Axe (aswell!!) Lol &why not a bow and cross-bow? (You could have a whole line!!) 😅 👍💪❤️🏴😎 I'll be happy with buying a survival knife for starters though lol 😅
@@AB-C1 Ya she will come out with a Survival Lilly Axe and Camping Tarp right after I've just gone and bought some one else's. 🙄🙄 Thats what happened with the knife situation. I waited and waited and bought a Made in Japan SRK used on eBay and like a month later Lilly came out with the APO-1. LOL
I hope you read this Lilly, please cover your solar panels with something that won't allow sunlight to hit them. They are making voltage and your wires are "hot". It's like working on your house wiring with the circuit breakers on. It can damage components when you install them. And if you accidentally touch both wires with your hands you get a pretty good shock.
Nice work! Great you talked to an Electrician upfront! Being an Electrican myself, you've not mentioned if you disconnected the solar cables on the roof before working on them. I would highly recommend to do that. There is no fuse in the installation and the panels generate electricity. So there is a risk of a short circuit, which will not be cut-off! All the best and love watching your videos!
be careful you have the inlet pointing forward and water can/will collect inside the houseing and will start to rust so make sure to isolate and protect the inlet with drainage for water. when you drive the wind force will push water inside the front two faceing inlets and also insolate the power wires from the solarepanels because they are live. electrical tejp the ends or put on wire pluggs. most important good job and keep going!.
I agree, the fixture should be mounted with the cable glands facing aft so the smooth part of the fixture faces into the wind and rain from road speed. Also, better for long term life if the entire fixture and wiring is mounted in the shade under a solar panel. And also better if the loop of cable is secured so it cannot flap in the wind, which will make noise and stress the cables and connectors. But an excellent video and good work all around.
When it comes to the electrical… I’m impressed that it will be overseen by a true professional. Many RV’s have been totally destroyed due to shoddy or improper solar installation. Which, unfortunately, I’ve personally seen too many times. Most of which were also a total financial loss due to insurance not willing to cover since installation was not done or approved by a professional.
You have me wanting to build out a camper van, as I will have time to travel soon😌. But since I would be putting a LOT of miles on it, I might want to start with a bare-bones new van. (I don't like the idea of driving and.... parking a "big" motorhome) Great job on the cable install! The install "kit" was a wise move. The grommets will protect the wires from sharp edges. BUT, we all know 100% silicone is the first and best defense against water.😎😀 I might recommend extra protection where the wires go around sharp sheet metal edges. Then drill small holes, and SOLIDLY "ziptie" your cables down at those points. Looking forward to seeing you complete this and your many adventures in it!
I watch you because of your courage and sincere interest in sharing knowledge and experience. Thank you. I, who am nervous every time I pick up a drill, am grateful for your inspiration.
Excellent job. You can't be deterred, having that tenacious personality. Your build us amazing. Thank you for taking us step by step along your journey.! Fantasisch !! 💃
I've done a lot custom work on vans over the years,,,, and this video is making me want to get a 4wd van or something that can get up into the woods and do it again!!!!
I thought for a second you were going to break out the APO-1 and baton the hell out of that cable since that little Morakniv wasn't cutting it ;) Nice job on the cables!
Looks great. Glad to see you using loom for additional protection around the wiring. Very professional. You are going to have a great travel van we done. Can’t wait to see your adventures.
You are doing great. You should get yourself an electrician's wire cutter pliers which would make your job a lot easier. Can't wait for your next video. Good luck and stay well.
I'm happy that you are making a really cool camping van. I'm interested in what you are making and looking forward to the first camping trip but the best part of the video for me is when you talked to Amy in German. First time I heard you say it in a video. I've always wondered if she understands English or if she just loves you and knows what you mean in whatever language you speak. I know that my dogs don't care what sounds come out of my mouth, just how I say it. -- Unless it's about food. Those words matter to them - lol
Lilly is very knowledgeable about a wide range of skills. She really shines when she is in the forest searching for specific plants or mushrooms!! And archery, she just kills it with her bow 😉
Lilly handyman.🏅 Nice work, well cared for. Well done. It's impressive. Very thorough. Good continuation Lilly. 😍 Good deduction on your electrical diagram. Okay. 👌😉
Hola Lilly, cómo estás? Sabes te recomiendo dejar a lo menos dos vueltas de cable (diámetro de 20 Cm) a modo de reserva, no cortes justo. Ya que ante cualquier necesidad de reparaciones, te podría faltar cable. Y recablear todo otra vez, es muy complicado. Un abrazo enorme y que te quede excelente tu planta de energía.
Sauber 💪🏻 und wie ein englischsprachiger Elektrikerkollege erwähnt hatte 😉 die Kabel erst nach der fertigen Verlegung mittels der MC4 Stecker mit den Panels verbinden dann läuft man nicht Gefahr aus, versehen mit dem Plus und Minus der Kabelenden gleichzeitig in Kontakt zu kommen 😅 was nicht „nur“ schmerzhaft sein könnte… ich würde noch empfehlen das Plus und Minuskabel nicht nur („oben/außen“) getrennt im den Transit zu bringen, sondern auch innen, mittels separater Flexrohre zu verlegen. Ansonsten Hut ab ☺️wieder einmal ein tolles und sehr informatives Video! LG Jenny
Up on the roof where the wires enter into the white box. The gray wire sleeves should be secured into or on however to the White box. They aren't attached now when it rains you might get water inside the gray wire covers and that could cause problems.
For the 4 mm² and also the 6mm² I wouldn't care for voltage drop, I run my 100Wp panel on the provided 2,5mm² leads, with a MPPT controller there will be plenty of power. You could have spare the bulky inlet if you used the OEM rubber grommets in the top corner of the rear doors, they are made for cables going through for electrics on the roof. The rear doors cover them up, with some Sika to waterproof it, you would be golden! Thx for showing! :-D
This video has inspired me to go outside and start doing measurements and possible placements of the cutoff insulation I salvaged from a commercial building site got some R10 insulation and reflective but also rockwool I might use for hydroponics growing.. anyway this van refit is good hopefully I can mimic some stuff she is doing with it also got some ebooks on van refits - a thrift way of doing this if you can get permission to raid construction site bins as there are lots of materials that are waste product but still usable for something the size of a van refit.
Hello Lily before you think about buying lumber. You ought to look into metal cabinets that are not as wide as in comparison to building with lumber. It will gives you more room inside your van. Yet if you want to build a fluid forget about 2x4s and stick with 2x2s for your skeleton work and then plywood you can buy that in different thicknesses cuz it doesn't have to be that thick. I'm the connection of your solar power the little housing the tubing was supposed to go into the plastic nuts. Otherwise you need to wrap around each of them electrical tape or aluminum tape. Water has a way of finding its way in.
I'd use Hardboard instead of any type of plywood, it's a lot lighter than plywood and basically the same material that was used in making interior door panels on older vehicles. it's about 5 mm thick and pretty much same thing as peg board, just without the hole's.. also easy to work and shape and comes in 4 ft X 8 ft or 1.2 m X 2.4 m sheets. if you want to get fancy with it, you could use a spray adhesive to attach almost any type of material to it including adding a little padding with a fabric cover. also.. depending on how much extra weight you're adding, you might have to beef up the suspension system. just something to keep in mind as you work this project.
I've been looking forward to THIS!! GREAT video! And well done Lilly!! WHAT a fantastic job you've done!! Excellent! You've out done yourself again with the wiring diagram and calculations!! Really good job! (Btw NONE of your content is EVER boring!) Look forward to next video (could always order online although would have to be a reputable supplier of for plywood! So you don't get the rubbish! - JUST TELL them they're on TH-cam 1m followers and you'll probably get upgraded to Marine Ply for free! &Delivered if you mention them! You MIGHT even get it for free DELIVERED!?) Worth calling around & asking!! Beat the lockdown.. 😉👍❤️💪😎🏴
I got my Aims inverter / charger fixed ; I'm getting two more batteries tomorrow ; that will make it 16 ; then two final ones later...almost have enough. When I first started all this I had two batteries, two solar panels that were 45 watts apiece...I gave those to my uncle for a battery charger. Those are nice panels you have. I am thinking about getting a couple like that to finish my little solar system...that would give me 1240 watts...pretty good really for an off grid cabin which is what I'm building it for. When I get all the batteries it will have 965 amp hours @25 volts = 24,125 watt hours. I think it will be enough . I can always add on but the prices may be higher so it would slow things down. That is a great addition to your van. I like solar, it's a good idea to have it on something at least, whether it's a shed or has wheels...it's good to have a plug in. I just bought a 1600 watts inverter to take with me in my pickup truck. In case the gas station has gas but no power, I can let them use my power for a while and fill up during a power outage...I'm just prepping for whatever I can. These are uncertain times. You are doing a great job and it's a big improvement. The van is worth twice as much now.
Thanks for the tips. Regarding gas station I dont think this will work, because most gas stations connect to the internet nowadays to get info from the central gas company. It might work on smaller gas stations tough.
A set of step drill bits is a great addition to your tools. You can increase the hole dimensions by just going to the next landing on the bit. And when working on your solar wiring cover those panels, sunlight makes them produce voltage. That's like working on your house wiring with the power on. Or called "working hot". And lastly, use a damp cloth to wipe your caulking, you can rinse it out and reuse it until your done with the job. And use more than enough inside housings where it won't be seen. That's added protection against leaking. You are doing a great job Lilly. There's just a few tricks of the trade I hope they help. 👍
I'm an old guy and I've always supported 'can do' women. Even when it was unpopular. Everything from shooting sports to motorcycle riding and welding. God bless them all for getting it done
Excellent work , Lilly ! One question , what type of windows did you install ? Do they flip up from the bottom ( for fresh air flow while keeping the elements out ) ?
My bugout rig has 4 to 5 large deep cycle batteries. The 1000 watt inverter handles heaters and hand held tools, trouble lights and all my chargers. I can charge thru a home outlet or generator or the truck alternator on road. My water tank is 55 gallons. I have a 5 gallon per minute 12 volt water pump at 50 psi. It can suck from stream, spring box, or take from a water hose. Once I put out a vehicle engine fire fast by my camp water hose! Have fun living free and rescuing thy neighbor come hell or high water! Love, Peace and Awareness precious spirit!
Cool upgrade..what appliances are you gonna add to the solar power .. anything like weather radar.. your working your way into ms, secret agent with all those gadgets .. stay cool be strong and survive
Lilly, if you can't go to the hardware store, you can try to order online and ask to deliver the order to your house. You never know when and if this lockdown will end and you need to continue building your van...
Great job but If your charge controller is a real MPPT , If your panels are 12 volts it's a better option to connect your solar panels in series rather then parralel for a greater gain of amperage .
An additional interesting idea of using those solar panels for would be to install an HHO unit into the van. That way you could use Yul-Brown gas for better fuel burn or just use hydrogen alltogether (to save up on fuel). 🤔😘😇🤗 Well depending on the engine of your van (petrol or diesel). Just a thought. 🙄😊
You don't have truck bed campers in Austria most of the work is already done you can back a 4x4 truck under it take it to your site unload it have your truck free to forage a 2 wheel drive van will limit the area you can travel vans don't make much since in a survival situation what if it's snowing the highway/roads are jammed and you need to go off road if your just going to use it for camping have fun and learning valuable skills along the way building your own over buying a complete one
DISCLAIMER: In this video I always made sure to keep the wires apart to avoid a short.

You can install fuses online with the connector of the solar panel. It goes around 15E in RO. In more civilized countries can be less
Amy is the job foreman. Making sure everything is properly done 😊❤️🇺🇸
I'm quite impressed with the amount of work you've done with the van, so far. I can hardly wait to see the project fully finished.
Exactly I agree 💯

1 thing you missed out was a pair of rubber gland shrouds for those fittings
The bodycam is excellent for videoing work. Good idea for this video.
Thank you so much , you have no idea how many people will survive the coming , 'stuff, because of you and your posts.
Going to look really good when it’s all finished. Looks very professional.
I've done a lot custom work on vans over the years,,,, and this video is making me want to get a 4wd van or something that can get up into the woods and do it again!!!!

You are one resourceful young lady.
Hi from Syracuse NY USA my friends
Awesome. Love to watch your thorough and conscientious work progress. 👍
I’m really looking up to you, there is nothing you can’t do! Good job!
Great video, very practical approach and a nice dog is a bonus. Thanks!
You are so tough. So many skills. I applaud you. Be safe .
Love how resourceful you are
Don't know German, but "Who's a good girl?" to Amy is pretty universal.
Looks great. Glad to see you using loom for additional protection around the wiring. Very professional. You are going to have a great travel van we done. Can’t wait to see your adventures.
You are doing great. You should get yourself an electrician's wire cutter pliers which would make your job a lot easier. Can't wait for your next video. Good luck and stay well.
I'll say it ! Your a bad ass !
Very nice work ! NASHVILLE'TN here 🇺🇸
I like it that you bought that little thingy.
Great job getting those lines installed, looks like the weather is getting colder there. Hope you have a safe and blessed week my friend ~ Tschuss ~
AAA+++Bedford, Texas===Very competent electrical work, thanks for filming your work..
Great job! Just a suggestion get some glued heat shrink big enough to go over the conduit and connector, it will clean it up nice.

I want to see when it’s done. Looks cool
Well done good job
You're amazing!! I'm excited with you.
I'm loving this project. I'm looking into doing something similar with a box truck and I need all the input I can get. Thanks much.
Good work Lilly.
For the 4 mm² and also the 6mm² I wouldn't care for voltage drop, I run my 100Wp panel on the provided 2,5mm² leads, with a MPPT controller there will be plenty of power.
You could have spare the bulky inlet if you used the OEM rubber grommets in the top corner of the rear doors, they are made for cables going through for electrics on the roof. The rear doors cover them up, with some Sika to waterproof it, you would be golden!
Thx for showing!
:-D
Great work, Lilly.
The only thing i would do different: Not working on hot wire. Shortcircuit the modules can cause a lot of trouble.
This video has inspired me to go outside and start doing measurements and possible placements of the cutoff insulation I salvaged from a commercial building site got some R10 insulation and reflective but also rockwool I might use for hydroponics growing.. anyway this van refit is good hopefully I can mimic some stuff she is doing with it also got some ebooks on van refits - a thrift way of doing this if you can get permission to raid construction site bins as there are lots of materials that are waste product but still usable for something the size of a van refit.
Hello Lily before you think about buying lumber. You ought to look into metal cabinets that are not as wide as in comparison to building with lumber. It will gives you more room inside your van.

Excellent work , Lilly ! One question , what type of windows did you install ? Do they flip up from the bottom ( for fresh air flow while keeping the elements out ) ?
Great job
My bugout rig has 4 to 5 large deep cycle batteries. The 1000 watt inverter handles heaters and hand held tools, trouble lights and all my chargers. I can charge thru a home outlet or generator or the truck alternator on road. My water tank is 55 gallons. I have a 5 gallon per minute 12 volt water pump at 50 psi. It can suck from stream, spring box, or take from a water hose. Once I put out a vehicle engine fire fast by my camp water hose!

Good for you Lilly, good luck!! :)
Cool upgrade..what appliances are you gonna add to the solar power .. anything like weather radar.. your working your way into ms, secret agent with all those gadgets .. stay cool be strong and survive
Take care when you clear away the metal after drilling as it will get in you dog feet as it’s very sharp.
Absolutely brilliant Lilly. Wish you were closer to me and my shop, it would be fun to do a complete van build with you and customize it perfectly.
Not bad Lilly.
What an amazing lady.
A tip, if you wet (with cold or hot water) your finger, the culk doesn't stick to it
nice work lily that will not leak
What a awesome woman… 😍
Lilly, if you can't go to the hardware store, you can try to order online and ask to deliver the order to your house. You never know when and if this lockdown will end and you need to continue building your van...
you are very smart i could not figure all that out
When can you do mine !!!! LOL NICE JOB !!!
Great job but If your charge controller is a real MPPT , If your panels are 12 volts it's a better option to connect your solar panels in series rather then parralel for a greater gain of amperage .
Very impressed. You seem to know exactly what you are doing! Also interested in the care you take to avoid future rust.
Gud night
An additional interesting idea of using those solar panels for would be to install an HHO unit into the van. That way you could use Yul-Brown gas for better fuel burn or just use hydrogen alltogether (to save up on fuel). 🤔😘😇🤗
Well depending on the engine of your van (petrol or diesel).
Just a thought. 🙄😊
You don't have truck bed campers in Austria most of the work is already done you can back a 4x4 truck under it take it to your site unload it have your truck free to forage a 2 wheel drive van will limit the area you can travel vans don't make much since in a survival situation what if it's snowing the highway/roads are jammed and you need to go off road if your just going to use it for camping have fun and learning valuable skills along the way building your own over buying a complete one
