Essential Tools for DIY Van/Off-Grid Electrical Systems

Welcome to Part 2 in the essential tool series. Today Karl will go through the essential tools we recommend to install or upgrade your DC off-grid battery, solar and general electrical system in a campervan, RV, motorhome, carvan or tiny home.* *Please note: Our van is 100% 12V Direct Current (DC). We currently only have a small plug-in 150W inverter that we very rarely use for odd chargers that we don't have a DC adapter for. Almost all of our appliances, including laptop computers, are charged from DC-DC chargers. If you plan to install AC electrical system in your van, more than just a DC-AC inverter, you may require additional tools. You will also, by law in most countries, require the installation to have an RCD installed and be signed off and certified by a licensed electrician should you decide you require AC power. There are three videos in this series: 1. Essential tools for van conversions 2. Essential tools for van electrical systems (this one); and 3.
