In this episode, I’m continuing work on my Ford Transit and starting the first fix of electrics. I’ve come to @HytheAutoElectrics to work with Ollie, who specialises in camper conversions, to make sure everything is wired safely and set up for an off-grid system. Together we plan the full electrical layout, route all the cables, and start building the main electrical board that will power the van. It’s one of the most important steps in the whole build and the point where the van starts to feel like a proper camper. I also install the new floor and prepare the space for what’s coming next — cutting in windows and fitting a new bed system at @CombeValleyCampers www.instagram.com/hytheautoelectrics/ 00:00 – Building My Ford Transit Off-Grid Camper | Under Konstruction Part 2 00:41 – Starting the first fix of electrics on my van build 01:09 – Visiting Hythe Auto Electricals for a professional install 02:05 – Full Victron off-grid electrical setup explained 03:03 – Camper van inverter, charger, and battery overview 05:09 – Planning the van’s 12V and 230V wiring layout 05:58 – Routing cables and setting up the power system 06:31 – Camper van cable management tips 07:11 – Hidden safe discovery under the seat 08:19 – How I use Squarespace for my business 09:03 – Building the electrical control board 09:45 – Crimping heavy-duty cables for the van system 10:52 – First fix electrics complete in the Ford Transit 11:28 – Installing sockets, lights, and smart controls 12:26 – How the Victron power system comes together 13:05 – Finished electrical board reveal 13:25 – Laying and trimming the new van floor 15:03 – Van floor installation results 15:33 – Measuring up for the camper bed system 16:07 – What’s next: Windows and bed at Coombe Valley Campers 16:33 – Outro – Van build continues in Part 3 Follow along as I continue my Ford Transit **van conversion** into the ultimate **campervan**.
