In this video I tackle the next part of the van build by installing our electrics to provide sustainable power whilst off-grid, we have placed it at the back of our Mercedes Sprinter. The installation includes the use of a Victron shunt, Lynx distributor, Orion B2B and MPPT solar chargers, all in place to ensure our battery stays topped up whilst consuming power. We still have to tackle the inverter so that will come in an upcoming video. 12v electrics can also be a bit of fun so come and join us.
If you enjoyed this video make sure to subscribe and continue with us on our journey where we are tackling some of the really juicy stuff now. Also if we are honest, we need your help in the comments, it has been priceless for us!
Fancy buying us a coffee? :)

About Us
Welcome to Life Adventure Projects, we’re Andy and Sophie and in 2022 we made the decision to work on changing our lives for the better. We’d grown tired and weary of the rat race, only living for the weekend or looking forward to a holiday once a year, so we made a plan to start working on projects to improve our lives.
