Mercedes Sprinter iVan - Wiring and Lighting

[@GregVirgoe]

In my latest video I explain in more detail how to wire your van and give you a free wiring diagram and free parts list too. Here is the link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIfOdYOwp6ZgsNk

[@lurcho101]

Greg you need to check your affiliate links as I was just watching your wiring video and clicked the touch light link but doesn't go to a light also was the same with the fan's. You don't want to be loosing money 😉

[@leestapleton4812]

Greg Virgoe you left links to the cable you used but which did you use as once you click the link there are lots to choose?

[@michellebouchard8454]

lee stapleton I was about to ask the same!

[@FlyNineVictor]

Is there a brand in the touch lights? The link you provided doesn't work

[@jess4mathews]

Sweeet!! 😃 thanks so much... the touch lights are indeed genius!! ✨

[@jaywheeler44]

I've probably watched almost every channel on KZbin that is in the "van build" genre and yours are by far the most informative. It's great to watch someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you so much for the time you have put into this series.

[@GregVirgoe]

Jay Wheeler I really appreciate your feedback and thank you for supporting our channel. 😃

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

So much detail Greg, that’s something you don’t get a lot of on KZbin. Thank you so much for sharing 👍😄

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you for such nice feedback, really appreciated.

This guy is a freaking amazing.Who has ever plugged a phone in and already has 100% charge. he’s the Chuck Norris of van builds.

[@melshishuwah4428]

Some people binge watch shows on Netflix...me I binge watch your videos over and over lol Awesome! Thank you

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you so much, what a lovely comment. :D

[@fjeinca]

The end results of your work are always better-looking than factory. Seldom they’re easy gets; thanks for sharing how!

[@GregVirgoe]

I’ve seen some factory builds and they do cut a lot of corners which results in poor quality. I didn’t want my build to go that way. 👍🏼😊

[@juliaj4043]

In the early stages of my build. No matter what I watch, all over the world, people recommend you! You explain everything so well!! Thank you for your time and content. Much appreciated by the whole world over!! ☺️✨️

I know absolutely nothing about vehicles but I am a carpenter by trade. Just trying to learn how to work electrics to our little camper. Thanks for uploading this.

[@GregVirgoe]

Falk Harvard you might find this one helpful too kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIfOdYOwp6ZgsNk

[@reading-woody]

Hi GregI found your videos on KZbin today and I have got as far as this one. It’s brilliant!! I really like the clear and careful way that you explain what you are both planning to do and then exectuting it. You clearly have an eye for detail and quality products. Great job Steve

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you Steve, I’m glad that you are finding them interesting and appreciate your feedback.

[@CasLaz]

Hey Greg, Just want to say that you are an absolute Legend, we watched all your videos and you are one of the reasons why we have the courage to take on our own van conversion project. I keep coming back to your videos for reference and ideas when I'm in doubt in each step of the conversion. Just wanted to say Thanks again, your videos are invaluable! Hope we bump into you one day on our road trip and I can repay you with a few pints !!

[@lass-inangeles7564]

I never knew it could be so much fun to learn about lighting. You are a good teacher. Those LEDs could make your RV the next party base with flashing lights to music! I've always discounted cell phone apps but this one is very cool. Thanks, Greg!

[@GregVirgoe]

Lass-in Angeles I wouldn’t make them my main lights as it’s not as convenient to open the app each time but for evening ambience and for party bus 🚌 they are great 👍🏼

[@mach2262]

You should have a show Greg. Loving all your detailed, simple to understand tutorials. Seriously! 🤩🥰🙏

[@NickGled]

Blimey! I've just taken delivery of my 12v DC cable (the type recommended) and, its so heavy duty, I think I'll be skipping the conduit. Thank you for all your tips and guidance Greg. Invaluable for any DIY conversion.

[@melloyello696]

Fantastic... I am an upfitter in Canada and I rather enjoy and learn something from your videos! Especially from the insulation side of things... I really want to build my own van now

[@kevgermany]

Thanks, really helpful. Couldn't help thinking as you were demoing the lights, was like watching my wife displaying the results of her latest shopping trip.... Looks like this is all working well. Had to smile when you commented about running extra wires in future. Came true with that inverter failure....

[@DustyKorpse]

Thank you for putting such effort into your videos. It really shows. Proper job!

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you, really glad you're enjoying this series.

[@DanielDuganaperture]

Greg - I have really enjoyed your build series so far. I came to youtube hoping someone would walk slowly through their electrical build and I have found exactly what I was looking for in this series. Best of luck to you.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thanks, Daniel, glad you're finding it useful. I assume you are doing your own conversion?

[@DanielDuganaperture]

I am a total neophyte, but considering a conversion in the next 5 years. Right now I have a mini-van and am retiring in 8 months, so planing to do some cross country touring with the minivan as a mobile base. If that goes well and the wife is on board, we will execute a conversion - probably on a Sprinter van. My interest in the electrical is to dig into the hardest part of a project like this to see if I can figure out how to do it myself. Thanks again for your channel. You are very good at KZbin. Congratulations.

[@GregVirgoe]

Hi Daniel, my partner took some convincing. If it didn’t have the wet room the deal was off 😂 I’m planning to cover the solar panel install as well as the charge controller and inverter install. Once everything is in place an operational video. I’d like to make it as complete a package as possible. Look forward to having you follow me on this journey and please feel free to ask any questions.

[@alanmay1945]

Greg, it's such a pleasure watching, listening & learning from your vids, & you're such a nice bloke too, I wish I lived next door. I'd be a priviledge to be there. So inspiring, thanku, Alan Norwich.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you for those very nice words Alan, once I get chatting though no work would get done lol

[@stephenwiggins3148]

What a great idea for lights. Love the idea of the soft touch ceiling lights.

[@GregVirgoe]

Yeah, we like these ones too, quality brushed stainless and really bright.

[@mariellelopez7710]

I think your videos have saved my marriage! Thank you so much. Saving so much frustration and time.

[@GregVirgoe]

Ah, that's nice to know, thank you for such great feedback. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

[@flashback9966]

Got half way through my wiring and it just wasn't going well. So I checked out your video again, ripped it all out and started again using your layout ideas. A wasted day, but much happier:)

[@GregVirgoe]

Hi, it has taken me much longer to wire my own van. There is so much to think about and plan where everything is going to go. Have you got links to your build I can look at?

[@flashback9966]

Yes planning and more planning. Today I moved the temporary mains panel to where the alarm circuitry was sited. So this has created more work. I'm photographing as I go, so I will try get something posted when it's complete.

[@GregVirgoe]

I’d be interested to see what you are doing for an Alarm. Do you have a link you can share? Thanks

[@flashback9966]

Sadly our last van was stolen, and since I don't trust any alarm system supplied by Halfords, Ebay etc, I've designed my own. I have a prototype working. You must enable the ignition with a simple dash mounted push button. However it requires a morse code type sequence of pushes. Get it wrong and the alarm goes off. You get just one life! This will be suplimented with an intruder alarm. I'm designing a PCB for this, but it's early days, since my day job is making demands. Further down the line I will try to get some more info to you. Lastly I had to have a Tracker fitted to get re-insured, but at least this gives me a little bit of piece of mind.

[@GregVirgoe]

I’m planning a hidden cut off switch. Had one on my kit car. Simple yet very effective. Do you think the Tracker is worth the money? Obv essential for you but heard they are easy to cut out and get rid of? Cheers

[@marcoluizneves]

Sir you are a star. Many thanks for all the precious information

[@GregVirgoe]

Thanks for great feedback 👍🏼😁

[@zool8looz806]

Greg I have to say I have seen a few van build videos and this series has got to be the most comprehensive i've ever seen, very professionally presented with excellent detail for the nerd in me, I am looking to do the same thing further down the road after having owned a big old van a few years ago, keep up the fantastic work, thanks!

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you very much for those kind words. Pleased you like the videos. Cheers

fantastic video Greg. thanks so much. Already made less mistakes since watching your tutorials.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you, as with all my videos I put links to products I use in the video description 👍🏼😃

[@thecorbies]

Hi Greg. Yet another excellent video with a proper beginning, a middle and an end, AND perfectly explained to boot! You are a true credit to KZbin as a creator, and as a very capable DIY person - (having watched ALL your videos). Right, that's enough brown noseing - but actually I DID mean it. Given that my wife and I have committed to the concept of a self build motorhome, we are STILL in the 'looking for a decent van' stage. (been looking for at least 3 months. Jesus, there's some cr*p on ebay!) I've spent quite some time looking at what vans are even possible/worth considering, and due to OUR spec, we have narrowed it to, (like yours), a Sprinter; or more likely, the exact same vehicle from VW, a long wheelbase Crafter. For some reason they seem to be just a shade less expensive for the same yr/spec etc. Hmmm. Perhaps somebody knows something I don't eh? I'd be really interested to know what your budget/costings are/were. Do you plan to do a video on that? Regards Mark in the UK

[@GregVirgoe]

Hello Mark, it took us quite a few months of searching to find our van. When the good ones pop up you have to be very quick. We did look at crafters too. Same body, slightly bigger engine. As for budget we will do a video on that once all the numbers are in. My partner has been keeping a detailed log of every expense. We did a high level spreadsheet at the start of all the main components I’ll send you a copy by pm. What is surprising is how much all the small items add to that. I think all in with the cost of the van it’s going to be £15k The van was £7k of that.

[@NomaddUK]

@thecorbies - Hi Mark. You are at the same stage as us then. My wife and I have watched loads of videos and are looking for probably a crafter or sprinter. Do you know of any CAD models of them so I can do a virtual build before a real one? Thanks all.

[@GregVirgoe]

Hello Nomadd UK, you have come to the perfect place. In my SketchUp tutorial I walk you through how to draw your own van from scratch in simple steps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGWapHltoZaseq8

[@bgoksel]

Excelent!

[@TDubya811]

Used VW Crafter price discrepancy against Merc Sprinter may be down to VW emissions testing scandal? The fix led to some issues EGR valve issues apparently.

[@normanboyes4983]

A very well planned installation -clearly a lot of thought and effort. On the LED kitchen light controller - it is amazing what can be achieved with modern tech and smartphone apps but I really do think for this application you may soon be wishing for an on off switch before too long.

[@GregVirgoe]

Norman, I can switch all the spots, reading lights and kitchen light on and off. The WiFi colour LED are only for ambient effect not as a main source of everyday light. Party time and mood lighting.

Hi Jamie, maybe it's the lighting? I do like a strong brew but with a little extra milk to make it drinkable. Most of the time it's cold and covered in sawdust by the time I drink it. Thanks for watching

You are ridiculous in the best most positive way possible. I did my brewery the same way on KZbin. Tested each component in detail. I needed to know how each component worked because my teachers take other people’s knowledge for granted in other videos. Thank for the details

Hi Greg I have been planning my campervan which I call my camper-studio(art) and am at the wiring stage. I have been running cable too and back from each light to the next light, but I note you said you run a long cable and splice each cable per light into it. It would be useful if you could show how you do that please., as it saves on doubling back cable from light to light.

[@GregVirgoe]

Hi Karl, I thought about removing the waterproof cover but there is a bright blue LED which is on all the time there is power to them, that would light up the whole van at night so the cover will come in handy to block them out.

[@karlbartelt3939]

Ah yes of course, that pearcing blue light, I hate even seeing my toothbrush charging at night with the same blue LED. You can draw black on them with a Sharpie to take the intensity off. Also can you switch the LED string lights on without the app, do they have a default on/off?

It connects to the phone directly using WiFi not via a WiFi network. The light comes up when searching for WiFi connections and you connect to it. Sorry you won’t be able to control it from far away.

Hello Chris, pleased you find them useful. Thanks for your comment.

On the plate of your jigsaw, you can also use the "loop" side of a hook and loop (Velcro) tape. It not only protects your surface but also traps the metal shavings. I wish I had my shit together like you! Great vids buddy.

Hi Kevin, I would imagine that would leave you with lots of micro scratches in your paintwork. 😳

[@pearldiver7]

Lovin the conduit construction

[@GregVirgoe]

It has saved us a couple of times as we needed to pull in some extra control cables and having the conduits installed allowed us to do that 😃👍🏼

[@welshnutterz]

great vid and great gadgets you've sourced for your van. really descriptive videos which makes them some of the best on youtube. im also following "the restoration couple" vids and they are also very descriptive and done to a very high standard. thanks

[@GregVirgoe]

Hi Elwyn, yes I’m following them also along with many other van builders. Thank you very much for such great feedback. I’m really enjoying sharing this build process and appreciate your support. 👍🏼

That color capture is damn cool!
