To Much Power killed The System

After over 18 months of full-time vanlife in our self-built campervan, we made the ultimate vanlife electrical fail — we accidentally blew our entire electrical system by drawing too much power. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of our off-grid van electrical setup as we try to figure out why everything suddenly stopped working. From Victron inverters and solar charge controllers to fuse boxes and lithium batteries, we walk you through the troubleshooting process step-by-step. After hours of testing cables, checking our 12V system, and questioning every wire in our van build, we finally discovered the problem: we’d blown the main 200A fuse. A total rookie error — especially since we designed and installed our DIY campervan electrical system ourselves! This video is for anyone building their own off-grid campervan, living the vanlife dream, or trying to understand how to fix van electrical problems on the road. It’s part disaster, part tutorial, and 100% real vanlife. #vanlife #vanelectrics #urbanvanlife ▫️ SUBSCRIBE FOR WEEKLY VIDEOS https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8w... ▫️ MERCH https://urbanvanlife.myspreadshop.co.uk/ ▫️OFFICIAL WEBSITE https://www.urbanvanlife.co.uk IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT US ON THE ROAD https://www.buymeacoffee.com/urbanvanlife FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA 🔸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/urban_vanlife/ 🔸 Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585324847358 🔸 WE THINK YOU WILL ENJOY THESE VIDEOS BELOW 🔸 🎦 https://youtu.be/ZI2ThLU-x6Y?si=yXndbCwJSPJvlGS4 🎦 https://youtu.be/1Ob8VssWHo0?si=s_7nhFO38RMy3GGT 🎦 https://youtu.be/L6uRIZ_rhks?si=rsAMQtAEM_Xy_3nu 🚚 CHECK OUT MY AMAZON STORE https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/urbanexplorer 🚚 where you'll find all the van gear, upgrades, and all the stuff we use in the van 🔸 Some Of The Products We Use In Our Van 🔸 ▫️ Tap Hose Adaptor https://amzn.to/4eQqde6 ▫️ BUG Zapper - https://amzn.to/43i7ntx ▫️ ERISIN 9inch android sterio - https://amzn.to/44vCBxr ▫️ Extending Hose https://amzn.to/3ZOqIRE ▫️ Rear Wheel Rubbish Bag - https://amzn.to/4rxpDtc ▫️ Anti-Theft Door Lock seat belt - https://amzn.to/4kiwKS9 ▫️ Electric Cordless Screwdriver https://amzn.to/4av4veY ▫️ Dog gate https://amzn.to/4eRdyYG ▫️ 600 watt Kettle https://amzn.to/3Y9sz2i ▫️ van cup holder extender - https://amzn.to/43AbAI6 ▫️ Dog Seat Belt - https://amzn.to/3vLVQ7E ▫️ LPG Adapter for Europe - https://amzn.to/47Rll4u ♪ The music we use in our videos www.epidemicsound.com/referral/0sqaby/ ♪ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA 🔸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/urban_vanlife/ 🔸 Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/urbanvanlife/ ⚠️ Disclaimer: Some of these links are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
