Get Wired Up: Van Electrics 240v System For Under £25!

Nothing wrong with that Mark, it looks like a 16 amp inlet on your van. If you were to hook up on a campsite most are 16 amp anyway. If you exceed that it would just trip at the tripswitch at their hookup point.

Hi Mark, Zero issues with what you are doing, your home has an RCD as do campsite hookups as it is a legal requirement for them. When building my van I really researched and quickly omitted all of what I call the un-neccesary Victron ad ons, lifepo batteries, solar charging etc etc etc. They are expensive and overrated in my humble opinion and only serve to make others rich. My 16amp EHU goes straight to a 2 switch gang socket, the cabling is the blue artic cable, I have an allpowers S200 pro and the 2 gang socket allows me to plug in my allpowers and charge my portable power station from camp sites, type 2 EV points or from home. Nothing fancy I am afraid. I have a 4 gang extension lead plugged into my powerbank that gives me all the 240v power required in my van, I do have a 12v switch panel just running one fuse as this allows me to decide if I wish to use my leisure battery or portable power station to run my van 12v system. Everything I said I was going to do I was told “its not possible” by so called experts. Shows what little they know.
