And many times, these batteries have died prematurely. READ THE USER MANUAL FOR EACH COMPONENT as this ‘order of operations’ does NOT supersede anything in the user manual.If you have been doing van life long enough, you have almost certainly meet other camper van travelers who have had to deal with dead batteries. THERE IS MORE TO KNOW about this process, though, in the user manual for each component. This list is a rough guideline of what order things need to be connected for systems using this wiring diagram. Order of Operations for DIY Camper Solar Install This parts list does not include means to attach the solar panels to the roof as that veries GREATLY from install to install. This solar array is managed by the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100|50 and remaining products include the wires, solar disconnect breaker, solar disconnect breaker box, lugs, ferrules, heat shrink and everything else needed to make the full solar panel array to busbar assembly. The dimensions are listed on their respective product pages. Choose your solar panels based on their physical dimensions and which ones work with your own specific setup. There are two options for solar panels in this list and they will all work well for this particular diagram. This section contains all of the parts necessary to wire 3x200w solar panels into your camper electrical system as shown in the diagram above and must be added to the master shopping list at the top of this blog post. There are three options for solar panels in this list and they will all work well for this particular diagram. This section contains all of the parts necessary to wire 6x100w solar panels into your camper electrical system as shown in the diagram above and must be added to the master shopping list at the top of this blog post. This solar array is managed by the SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 and remaining products include the wires, solar disconnect breaker, solar disconnect breaker box, lugs, ferrules, heat shrink and everything else needed to make the full solar panel array to busbar assembly. This section contains all of the parts necessary to wire 4x100w solar panels into your camper electrical system as shown in the diagram above and must be added to the master shopping list at the top of this blog post. The link for 6 AWG Triplex Wire below has 3 wires inside, which is correct for the application. the 6/3 w/ ground wire you will find at your local hardware store will very likely have 4 wires in it, which is unnecessary. This much power coming from the Inverter/Charger requires 6 gauge wire feeding a 50A main breaker in the AC distribution panel. 6/3 stranded wire is used here because although our shore power is 30A max, which 10 gauge wire is adequate for, the PowerAssist function of the Victron Multiplus Inverter Charger can add up to 3000w of battery power to shore power in the event that more power than the shore power can provide is needed. This section includes the wiring necessary to connect the inverter charger to the AC side of the AC-DC power distribution panel listed in an earlier section. The Battery monitor allows you to know how full your batteries are, know how much power you are actively gaining or losing, and see the historical data of your power usage. The busbar is essentially an extension of the battery terminals and allows you to deliver power where it needs to go and houses the fuses necessary to protect the wires leaving the busbar. The busbar itself as well as the shunt for the battery monitor and fuse mounted inside to the busbar protecting the positive wire from overcurrent can be found in this section. This section contains all of the parts necessary to wire the battery bank to the main DC distribution busbar. Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A (360W) Isolated DC-DC charger
