I expanded the capacity of my power station just using a 100ah lithium lifpo4 it gives me an extra 1200WH for just £200. I could add another and it would end up with nigh on the same wattage as the Bluetti B300K but £600 cheaper. It might not have all the bells and whistles but for me it's the most economical solution.😀

[@kentbibby8027]

I extended mine with 600ah of lithium connecting to the PV of the Bluetti. I run solar through a BLUETTI D050S charge enhancer. The lithium charges off my 200amp alternator @ 1000w and have 400w panel on the roof...around 10kwh total for less than the price of a 5kwh Ecoflow Independance kit

[@AdventuresandLifestyle]

lifepo4's are amazing, but cant wait for the salt based units to be available. Greta work on the van. We dont use pre made power units. I built my own, used Daly BMS units, but finding Daly BMS's unreliable and had replaced 3x times under guarantee! After 18 month, I gave up and went with Overkill Solar BMS units. They are reliable, never gone wrong, vastly better, and have the app on the mobile to set them up easily with via bluetooth connection. 2x 6.5 Kwatts of power. If one fails i can switch over to the other. They do need to be fitted tight, in a frame work so they do not move any more than 2mm. Appreciate yours are portable whereas mine are fixed in place. Well done on this upgrade! Very helpful for everyone out there.💯👍👍👍

This bluetti would be really useful in our little camper. I use an electric wheelchair so would help pro me topped up for some extra miles and potentially run a heater because the ones I have means I can’t regulate my temperature very well.

Loving this build series

[@sunseeker8457]

Yes using the 200 Max will work everything in your van (diesel heater, Maxx fan, fridge, freezer etc) The other thing that you can also do when you have no solar, is charge up your Bluetti via EV car stations with an adaptor for about £195. I have the 200 Max and works my van great. Another thing to think about is the Bluetti Charger 1 to charge while you are driving. You do need to un-plug your solar to use it. But there is also a hack that you can use BOTH your solar and the Charger 1 together. But when you get your 200 Max. Just run the + / - Bluetti cable wires from the 30 amp socket to the blade fuse box + / - direct. and take away all the extra wires you're using now. Another thing (and this is from person to person). But when all the lights are off and you're going to bed. If you like it 100% dark. Then the green light from the on / off button on the Bluetti is very bright. I have mine stored away in the garage area so I don't see it under my bed.

[@Silverwidows]

Would an ecoflow system work better? They have the power station, which you can then hook up to their solar panel, and their alternator charger system to charge whilst driving?

[@sunseeker8457]

@@Silverwidows This depends on how you what to set-up your electrics. EcoFlow are very good. But they do not have a 30amp output socket. Not many makes do. So although you can run a lot of things in your van on it. It will not run a diesel heater (they use around 15amps for start-up). They are powerfull enough to run it. But there is no output socket for it. Even with their new Pro 3 (4 times the price of a Bluetti 200 Max). There is still no 25-30amp socket output. The most that power stations do is a 10amp output. And that want run a heater. There was an upgrade to the older 200 Max (the one I have and I think it has now been discontinued) That's the 200 L, the one in this video. But for some reason they took away the 30amp output socket. That's why he is doing all the extra wiring to get things working in this video. And he said that he will downgrade the unit to the 200 Max so he can have that 30amp socket. (that's if he can find one). So although the 200 L last year and is a better and more powerfull unit than the 200 Max. It hasn't sold well for the van life market. So they upgraded the 200 Max again with the AC240. Now is this the one to get. It has all the upgrades of the 200L and some more plus they put the 30amp output socket back in. So the Bluetti AC240 is the one to get to run your whole van if you can not get the 200 Max.

I don't think you can beat a Bluetti we actually own one mate I've got it in case we get power cuts and if forever out overnight at least would have some power Great video again

[@meisongamer0873]

Instead of these RIDICULOUSLY expensive expansion batteries you can just add a lifepo4 leasure battery along side it .. use that to “recharge” your power station extending its capacity.. re-wire your solar to recharge the leasure battery and have the power station removable so you could take it in the house easily and charge it before you go out if required. you just don’t get the fancy hours left.

[@MrBodi1]

But you need a charge controller for charging the lithium directly from solar

[@tonylourenco9829]

💯That's the best thing you did to add the bluetti ac200max and And you can get another wire that connects to the bluetti That connects to your Fuse box gives thirty amps And now they got the new bluetti charger one That chargers when you're driving and keep your solar panels when you're stopped. You should make a list. Took extension card leads to your bluetti for 240v Plugs. You save a lot of money that way. Just saying. I also have thebluetti ac200max System It's awesome, think they have. And that is something that you can take out and take inside the house.If you have a power failure , what you can't do with your other systems and vans rv

Great idea 👍

[@johndelaney5889]

The hole you cut for the cctv monitor. Take the blank and cut a slot in it, to the center, the same width of the wire. Make another blank that is bigger in diameter to create a flange. Also, cut a slot to the centre. Place the wire in and rotate the blanke so that the slots are opposed, glue together and place in the hole where the wire goes through the bulkhead.

[@LoveSundays]

That’s a good idea. I don’t think I need to do that now through due to putting a back on the bulkhead

I really really hope you're planning to add some more support or at least some tie-downs for that power unit.

If you hit a pot hole the whole thing could come crashing down! At least tie it down so it won't bounce!

I love your van builds! Where are you located, do you do van builds for other people?

[@tomwinch9107]

Cheers Shaun! Good progress and great explanations ... just one question, when you fit your kitchen, will the Bluetti be removable? And just to share how ocd can get worse, I'd have to swap the wiring on the light switches so they switched the lights in order (nearside switch for nearside light, middle switch for middle light, etc. ... I'd also put the light by the TV on a separate switch (as you have spare switches) and possibly add a switch for the TV (it will take some current in standby, though it shouldn't be enough to worry about!)

[@sag755]

In the last video you were talking about worrying about the door hitting the kitchen, it'll be difficult but you could make the door fold in half before it swings into the van? Difficult but just an idea

Hi Shaun, carpet looks so much better than painting or whatever so why not use a light grey to complement the darker grey. People misuse the word contrast, they'd complement one another.

[@WestysGate]

I've just bought the AC200PL which gives you a bigger battery capacity at 2304Wh, longwr lifespan and more efficient battery and a lot faster chargering speed. The only downside is you get 10amps less from the DC output of the main DC output. However you can use the other DC outputs to connect more stuff. And at the moment its the same price. Got it on ebay for £1'275

[@petecoventry6858]

Good man! I have in my Moho the AC 200L. 2 B300k's - 2 100AH LifeP04 batteries by Renogy and EB55 and an EB3A for the little stuff an additional 10Kwh Battery from a solar install in the garage. Dual fuel generator I can run off the LPG tank. 1200W of Solar and a Brucie charging lead. No need for a Charger 1 or anything - plenty of cheap/free power around for the winter and with all charged I am packing just under 21Kwh.4 ring cameras might have been better?

I was thinking when you had all those wires coming in behind the driver's seat while you may not have thought of using a length of PVC pipe with a couple of elbow joints as a conduit that would go through the back panel. You could even paint the PVC or even carpet it's like the rest of the van.

lovin the build, what camera stuff did you use, looks like something I would like in mine, do you have a link... ah just saw you try them in the dark so will wait to see if you have night vision

[@mickey1299]

Okay , well personally i would move the door on the partition . It needs hinging from the other side , but still open towards the load space ( i hope that makes sense) . I would then cover right across with carpet . Now this would have two advantages . First off , the door would be hidden , being flush the partition would look unbroken all the way across , and secondly the carpet would help mask the crack around the door , also helping to hide light bleed from the rear . Now the cameras may not be so easy . they may not have night vision . Take a look at any one (they look the same) of them , and see if they have a ring on what look like bulbs surrounding the lens . If not then they don't have light time illumination , so will not work at night .

[@LoveSundays]

The door isn’t permanently I only built it to make sure it didn’t drag along the floor it will need to be redone once all the furniture is in the van.

[@mickey1299]

@@LoveSundays Another thought is ventilation . The human body will release a certain amount of gases , which will settle on the cab window by way of condensation on the cab windows . This is an almost certain sign that the van is actually occupied to the casual , but observant onlooker . So light bleed is not your only issue

[@Silverwidows]

Why do you need a fuse box, earth, ground etc. Could you explain maybe in a future video why you can't just plug everything straight into the power station? Cheers

[@LoveSundays]

You fuse the individual wires so that if something blows you don’t end up losing everything. It also prevents fires. So for example if one of the LED lights burns out the fuse would blow. If you didn’t have a fuse and everything was wired into the power station the Bluetti fail safe would cut the power to all your 12v appliances. So your fridge wouldn’t work until you found the dodgy light and repaired. If it’s all seperate the light fuse would blow but your fridge etc would all still work

[@Silverwidows]

@@LoveSundays Awesome, thanks for explaining

[@charliedavies26]

Can you cut more storage behind passengers seat .I.e. shoes etc

[@LoveSundays]

[@djtezz]

Great video again. Do you have any more details on how you have connected your power station to fuse box and then onto the switches? Thinking of doing similar to improve our vivaro

[@LoveSundays]

The 12v plug is wired into the main and ground bus bar fitted below the power station. Then the fuse box is wired directly to the main and ground bus bar. Then switches are a simple circuit between the fuse box and the item (lights etc)

[@djtezz]

@LoveSundays thanks seems pretty simple. I only have ecoflow river but I think I should be able to power lights, usb socket and heater if needed.

[@markwalker2794]

@LoveSundays with regards to.night vision I take it your camera have built in infrared lamps ??..? if not you will not see a thing in the dark

[@bobnicholls]

I see the benefit from a convenience point of view but how does the Bluetti set-up compare price wise to a standard leisure battery/solar installation?

[@LoveSundays]

For a battery this size it’ll be around £800 plus the solar charge controller say £100 plus a dc to dc charger £150 plus all the wires and a 2500w inverter say £200 (depending on the brand). So a conventional set up can cost between £1250 and £2000. This Bluetti AC200L cost £1299 (without any discounts) so it’s pretty much the same

[@theyorkshireredneck]

the CCTV cameras look like they are being washed out by the IR light shining on the white of the van. they may work better with the IR light turned off/ covered. its why RING cameras recomend turning off the IR light on indoor cameras if they are being used to look through a window.

Re diesel heater, power banks(any make) are a struggle on 12v, mainly the diesel heaters, the other simple solution that has worked spot on for me, is too buy a not so expensive 240v to 12v transformer, minimum 15amp, runs the diesel heater no problems and hasn’t sucked up a noticeable amount of power 👍

Dont think that cctv system has infrared cameras. Should be dim red glow from the cameras if they are infrared, not very stealthy though. Great vid!

Doesn't look like it. My cctv has infra red and gives an excellent picture in the dark.

@red9zero I don’t think it has. I need to have a good look at the instructions when I get a chance

​@LoveSundays one thing to ensure with the CCTV camera's is to move them so they do not see any of the van. If they do, they will adjust the exposure down to combat the bright white and then you won't see into the darkness. So try to set them so they view just above the van without seeing it. Best of luck, loving the vids, got my first van 2 days ago, prepping for the conversion. Been watching for a few months now.
