Your videos on electrics are just so damn easily explained to understand. You explain everything in a way how to safely achieve something without feeling like you need a 10 year course in electronics to get something simple up and running.
That’s it, it’s official... you and Mandy are my van gurus. 😍 😄 You explain things so clearly - wonderful, thank you!
Thankkk you soo much, me and my girlfriend are deciding to join the van life. We are buying and starting it next month! She was scared because she wasn’t sure how to set up the battery, she didn’t even want to do it until I could explain what I learned to her. So thanks for this detailed instructions and for posting it on your blog!
I had so many questions and you answered many of them, one after another, in this video. Thank you.
Great detail as usual - especially how to properly connect the batteries together. I was pondering an inverter until I saw one of your other videos about using 12V as much as possible and have just bought a 12V adapter for my laptop - must have got a good one as its the same one you showed 👍👍😎
I am so grateful to have found your channel. This explanation was so easy to understand. Very informative and has helped me a lot in making choices for my power needs.
Thanks for the excellent detail on this inverter, I have just ordered one from Amazon.
You and Mandy stay safe!
I am such a noob when it comes to electrics but your video was great! Very informative and well explained! Thanks, hope your wife enjoys the coffee!
came for the accent, stayed for the very useful info. thank you for the help & for the great organization w/the timecodes!
That was a GREAT analogy about the inverter re: getting the milk. Great video too.
John this video is spot on. Thanks. So glad I watched it, I was about to push my car up the shops to get some milk. Life saver 👍👍👍
Just used this guide for reference & successfully fitted my inverter. Microwave working & able to charge laptop too. Thanks John.
At last a video that can actually tell you what to do thank you so much
Practical demo was fantastic, the information was very good.. Thank you.
Great, clear and comprehensive video. Thanks.
I'm very grateful to you for putting this together. Well explained!
thanks for explaining in a easy way , I like how u teach . Cheers and stay safe
Brilliant. I'm a mechanical engineer but never really understand the sparky hurty stuff, Very well explained thank you. I am trying to set up a split charge relay and have a small inverter I probably wont need now.
Excellent comprehensive instruction John. You have made it easy for me thank you.
Well done John, great video! Very meticulous! Thanks a lot for all this!
Very clear explanation. I have watched many video's on inverters work. This John is one of the best that l have seen. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Absolutely brilliant explanation! Thank you.... now, do you fancy fitting one for me please?? Lol!
that was one very complete and well thought out explanation. Thank you so much.
Great explanation now all I need is to learn about watts, amps and voltage. Thank goodness we are retiring soon. Should have enough time to absorb all of this.
Clear and concise, great video fella.
cheers🤘your love of tech and vlogs saves me soo much time👌ATB Shane
Excellent explanation. Thank you for sharing.
Cracking vid bud, covered some things I did not know and answered some questions i had whilst designing a friends system.
Thanks bud, I'm glad I could help - feel free to get in touch if you ever need help in your new venture.👍🏻
Very good explanation of the installation. I especially liked the battery wiring explanation.
Nice explanation John..well worth washing. Thank You
Really useful and clear explanation, thanks!
John thanks for the information. Appreciate your videos.
Dan, San Diego California
Excellent video and information John! I did not know that about connection of the two batteries, so thank you!

Thanks for the video- really helpful and clear for a beginner
Thanks for the information - provided in a manner which I at least could follow!
Very helpful, thanks Gadget.
Well done think your helping a lot of people with vids like this very informative John keep up good work all the best .....swiss
Great video - very knowledgable fella.
that is absolute genius about the voltage conversion conflict. superb. never thought of it that way. thanks. am doing a van conversion and beyond gas for cooking was gonna look into getting a leisure battery / inverter set up but i may dodge the invert since all the equipment i use will really be low voltage I.T. or SELV. cheers john!
Thank you so much for this video I was going to buy an inverter I don't need an inverter now because I am only going to use 12 volts thank you very much for this video
thank you for the timestamps!
Great video so many useful little tips thanks
Hi John good video I enjoyed it and also found it informative thanks.
wonderfully explained
Cracking post John! Cheers.
Great video, new to this.going to the blog next.
Very informative - great video!
Thank you very much.
Great explanations. I'll reading your blog.
Thanks for the video, very useful info
Thanks for the video, didn’t have an inverter in the last van, but planning on one in the next one. Tragic about the coffee! 😉 ☕️
thank you for your help. video very helpful.
This is great info , thanks for doing this video.
Great instructional, thanks.
Amazing buddy thanks for sharing.
Brilliant John , I learnt so much 👍
Great video. Learnt a lot. Thanks. Going to see if you've done a similar one for solar hook ups.......
Informative video John - many thanks 😊
Thanks a lot buddy 👍 Brilliant explanation, on how to fit an inverter, and has helped me out a lot .
I'm looking at the same inverter (except for the 110v version) My suggestion would be to take the fuse out and replace it with an in-line Circuit breaker. It's easier to reset a breaker than trying to find a new fuse in case something happens. Cheers from the USA. Awesome Video!
Hi John, Mandy, Coop. Super video and very instructional. You realise when Mandy finds out you're throwing coffee away that you'll be in the dog house...or is that the Coop house? Stay safe guys and keep up the good work.
You are a diamond. Loved it.
great video ……….look forward to many more...…….thankyou
Thanks John, there's some great tips in this - I've got a sneaking suspicion you know what you are talking about! :)
Good explanations!
Nice one John, bloody great video and well explained 🤙🍻😉
Fantastic video, thanks John.
Well that answer all my questions, thank you so much John for the video and the spreading of wisdom ;)
Thanks 👍🏻🤣
Really helpful! Thank you
Great explaination, cant say enough on joining batteries as you explained, I made schoolboy error and my batteries were pants till I spotted mistake. I use 4 x6v and make 2 x12v... nice inverter. Cheers
Nice one John great vlog 👍👍😎
Hi John thanks for great video and easy simple explanation really thanks. From South Africa
Really great video. Very clear and helpful. I’ve subscribed 👍
Great post
Very simple explanation 👌💯
Good vid. Well explained.
Super helpful, thank you!
Thank you great advice..
Love love love this!! Thanks so much, GJ!! This was incredibly useful and informative - and as a teacher I appreciate this even more! Do you have a video / blogpost describing how to wire the AC sockets from the inverter to sockets around the van? I have no idea how this might work... Thanks again!
Great tips, thanks.
Thanks John, 👍
THANK YOU John. I was no good at maths at school. I'm listening to you and I KNOW that you are explaining well but my brain refuses to STILL understand. I'm sorry! I need a coffee and another rest before listening to your next video! ☺
Very informative.
Thank you!!! for this. I’m new to van life and it drives me crazy watching everyone go crazy over inverters and AC outlets. EVERYTHING (almost) in your van life is 12V: your camera batteries, cellphones, laptops, drones, refrigerator, heating system, cooling system, TV, DVD. EVERYTHING. Probably the only exception is toaster or coffee maker. That’s it. Also, the max AC power appliance you can buy is about 1500 watts. 2000 watt inverter is more than enough for your one (maybe two) occasion use AC appliances.
Hmmm my Li-ion battery charger for my Milwaukee power tools needs a 110v outlet so I can make repairs on the road. Hard to repair using a slice of toast while drinking coffee!!
Great video John that’s going to help a lot of people 👍 see you all soooooooooooooooooooooooon
Best regards us 3 up north 👍❤️😀🐾🍺🍟
Hi John, love your posts. New to motor homing and am looking into inverters. This has great reviews but as someone else has asked can you confirm that the Krieger models 1100,1500 & 2000W are actually pure sine wave because all the spec sheets etc for these models say they are modified sine wave. There are however excellent reviews out there. Would be great if you could clarify.
very good info
very good thanks
That was good thank you
v nice.thanks
Excellent vid. Very useful for knowing whats required and how. We've just had a 300W one fitted for camera battery charging and chromebook , but will check out the 12v laptop chargers and more importantly I will check out how its all wired to make sure its the correct way round not just the usual way round. Thanks for posting
Oh Ed, I hope you didn’t pay too much. I used usb chargers for all my cameras, including my drone, and my laptop charges off my power bank. If it wasn’t for Mandy’s love of coffee I’d still have the little inverter that never got used.
@@johnmandy No not too much LOL but i've just ordered an official Acer 12v to 19v supply from Power4laptops at Burnley of all places lol. because of your video so many thanks, will be nicely set up for our month long trip to Austria/Germany in May
Great stuff. That sounds like an epic trip 🚐👍🏼
Thanks Mate!
