Today we are installing our Aims Power pure sine 2000W inverter to a MidNite Solar breaker box and we will also be wiring two 120 volt AC outlets in the van from the breaker panel.
I really enjoy installing all the electrical components in a van conversion and these are easily my favorite steps. Wiring the breaker panel is very straightforward and only takes a few hours.
I will recommend checking out the links below and making sure you have everything ordered and ready to be installed. I had to wait a while to get a few parts and it really delayed the electrical installation and I had to start working on upper cabinets.
I really liked this power inverter, especially with the auto transfer built-in. I like the idea of being able to charge the unit via shore power. It was also very easy to set up the shore power input.
Be very careful when doing this project always check your connections with a multimeter to see if they are hot. I installed a few kill switches so I could completely kill my system while I was working on this project. You can get seriously injured or die when working with this inverter so take this project seriously. If you have no idea what you are doing call your best electrician friend and have them help you. Or call a licensed professional.
I made this video because I had a hard time finding a video that ran me through the parts I needed for this project as well as the steps to do it. I hope this helps some of you kookz out there.
