Get a quoteHere we present three different ways you can do this. If you have a standard-sized auxiliary battery (N70 or similar), our Heavy-Duty Battery Box is a really easy way to distribute power. You just put the battery inside, connect the terminals to the box, and then use any of the ports on the outside of the box to power your accessories.
Make sure you have a 40AMP fuse or circuit breaker on the positive cable close to the battery. For safety, leave the fuse out of circuit breaker disconnected until you are finished wiring so the control box is not live whilst you’re working. Put a small cut in the grommet you’re using and feed the wires through.
Move the control box into position and slot the bolts and washers into place. Then add washers and nylon locking nuts to the other side and tighten. If mounting to a headboard, loosely secure the lid onto the control box and install this into the canopy. Skip this step if already installed into canopy. Now, to install the wiring.
AC Distribution Panel Similar to the function of your DC fuse panel, each outlet in your van should be on its own circuit breaker and to accomplish this you will need an AC Distribution Panel. Power goes from your inverter into your AC Distribution Panel, through individual circuit breakers, and finally exits the panel to your AC outlets.
There are a number of ways to do this. The easiest way is to install a remote battery monitor, also known as a coulometer. Using a shunt to ensure high accuracy, these devices are easy to mount and display all the information you need.
Make sure to clean up any aluminium swarf from inside the box. Lift the 12V Control Box into the desired position and mark out the bolt pattern. If mounting inside a canopy, use a piece of cardboard for a template and transfer that bolt pattern inside.
