How To Upgrade Your Truck Camper's Electrical System

This video will show you, start-to-finish, how we upgraded an existing electrical system in a truck camper. In this DIY truck camper electrical install, we cover a wide range of topics, so we have included chapters at the bottom of this description if you need to find a specific part of the install. This comprehensive video will cover wiring and mounting a 12V Battle Born Battery Bank, wiring a Victron lynx distributor with a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor and master disconnect switch, installing a rooftop solar panel array, retrofitting existing solar panels to communicate with the new MPPT solar charge controller, wiring a Victron MultiPlus 2k and splice kit so we can run 120V outlets without the generator, and alternator charging using Anderson connectors. Each chapter will also include a segment on programming and testing each component to best understand your system. ➤ Shop kits used in this video at the EXPLORIST.life Store: shop.explorist.life/ ➤Shop Battle Born Batteries: battlebornbatteries.com/?afmc=explorist_bb67 ✅Use code 'explorist' for $50 off per battery. ➤ Binge the Transit Van Build:    • The Ultimate Camper Van Build Guide -...   Here are some additional resources that you may find helpful with planning and installing your DIY Camper: ➤ FORD TRANSIT DIY Camper Van Electrical Install:    • DIY CAMPER VAN ELECTRICAL INSTALL (St...   ➤ DIY Sprinter Camper Van Electrical Install - Full Tutorial:    • DIY Sprinter Camper Van Electrical In...   ➤ DIY Camper Solar Wiring Diagrams: www.explorist.life/solarwiringdiagrams ➤ How to Perform a Power Audit:    • How Much Solar Power Do I Need for My...   ➤ Basic Parts & Components of an Electrical System:    • Basic Solar Parts Needed for a DIY Ca...   ➤ How to Cut Wire: www.explorist.life/how-to-cut-wire/ ➤ How to Strip Wire:    • How to Strip Wire from 4/0 to 24 AWG   ➤ How to Crimp Wire:    • How To Crimp Wire Lugs & Ring Termina...   ➤ How to Make MC4 Connectors:    • How To Make MC4 Connectors (For Wirin...   ➤ How to Wire Solar Panels in Series-Parallel:    • How to Wire Solar Panels in Series Pa...   ➤ How to Crimp Wire Ferrules:    • How to Crimp Ferrules (and Why You Ne...   ➤ How to Wire an AC/DC Breaker/Fuse Box: www.explorist.life/how-to-wire-a-power-distributio… 00:00 Introduction 00:15 OEM System Walkthru/Electrical Upgrades 03:42 Wiring the Battery Bank 06:27 Wiring the Lynx Distributor 14:00 Battery Bank Relocation 17:53 Wiring the MultiPlus and Splice Kit 26:41 Wiring Solar Panels 35:31 Solar Retrofit 39:50 Alternator Charging
