Having batteries, doesn’t automatically mean access to 12V. Thus, two access points are planned in the van. One 12V socket is located at the solar components (controller, charger, inverter, etc.) compartment, under the bed. It’s immediately next to the pull-out shelf and serves to power my laptop. 12V Power Socket It’s a standard 12V… Continue reading Wiring(4)

Looking at it again, I… Continue reading Pull-out bed shelf
