great episode guys, bench top talks a good ide, one thing I've found in past installations not van related but found merit in leaving a slave pull wire in situ around various places wherever possible, not snagable tucked out of site, not only forgotten a wire or two but needed to add a another item ide forgotten about and or want to add something else, has been of value not having to remove panelling or items once fitted,

[@coopedupcampersbusiness]

You have made a valid point which we had previously discussed between ourselves. We would have done exactly that had we have used conduit to pipe our wires through. We decided that on balance that we would go the route of no conduit as the majority of people would not have the equipment to get the conduit through the van and needed to cater for the majority.
Really appreciate your thoughts and thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your support

[@WagnerGimenes]

Absolutely loving the details. This is a great tutorial.

[@coopedupcampersbusiness]

That’s a great reaction. It’s what we are aiming for. Thank you so much for your feedback and support

[@coopedupcampersbusiness]

That’s really nice of you to say and we really appreciate your support. Hope you enjoy the “try to make it as simple as possible electrics video. Let us know what you think

Another great tutorial! I'm currently installing my wiring and this has helped no end. Thanks gents, keep em coming.

[@coopedupcampersbusiness]

We are really happy that we have been of some help. Keep watching and thanks for your support

[@Hootyhoo55]

I see that in your video on wiring, towards the end, that there is some insulation installed in the walls. Are you going to do a video on your insulation installation?

[@coopedupcampersbusiness]

Yes absolutely. If you catch us this coming Friday you will see a full video on installing and vapor barrier. Thanks for your interest and hopefully your continued support

[@Bracebarian]

Great tutorial. Where did you source your cables?

[@coopedupcampersbusiness]

All of the larger sizes, of which only the 6mm red and black and the 16mm red and black were from eBay. There should have been a list in the description below the video but if not I will get them added. The smaller 1.5mm cable was from Worcester Electrical Distribution, their prices were 50% of eBay’s equivalent.
