Thank goodness... a van conversion video without all of the annoying fluffy shots of someone making coffee in the wilderness. Brill. Thanks man.

I am ADHD i am very smart but its hard to concentrate. The way you made this video was perfect for me I really appreciate you being so informative along with photos and diagrams of what you are talking about. You would be a GREAT teacher. Thank you!
-
HI - Enjoyed this very much. Am 70+, bought a van - want to hit the road, comfortably, affordably. Great job you are doing.
-
"Unless you strapped for cash then save up and get it anyway" love it
-
This young man should be made an honorary electrician if he isn't one already! I agree with the rest, he is truly informed with what he is doing and kind enough to pass it along to us out here in the YouTube sand box. thanks Explorist Life

This is far and away the best description / overview of a complete solar power system I've seen on the entire internet. And I've been doing a TON of research lately. Major brownie points for the addition of the A/C input charging capability. Incredibly well done! Now I'm off to watch all your other videos! thanks so much!
-
I was having a lot of trouble finding this information online, and was getting very confused. So glad I found your video! Thank you so much for explaining everything really clearly :)
-
You took several years of experience and condensed it to a very short but EXTREAMLY well done video. Thank you so much for sharing!
-
Hi !!! This is excellent !!! I appreciated being able to get an overview that actually makes sense. I look forward to watching the more detailed videos. Thanks !!!!!!
-
Finally an easy, informative, and great video on solar and 12v setups! Thanks for the video, best one I've seen yet!
-
Thank you! I've seen so many RV solar builds where it's all about a certain product brand, and they are so light on the explanation of what part does what, and what you ACTUALLY need.
-
I'm in the UK and we have just purchased a narrowboat to live on and I have found your videos so useful when designing or solar setup.... I haven't fitted it yet so I'm sure I will be binge watching a lot more of your video. Thank you so much for passing on your knowledge in such an easy to digest format. 👍
-
OMGoodness love love love this conversion and the solar power...WOW! Thank you for the informative video on the setup. Best I have seen to date.
-
Absolutely perfect for the electrically challenged. I have been looking at so many solar system installs and DIY videos and your's has been absolutely the very best. Love the fact that you spoke of providing for future upgrades to the system and the use of current batties until they meet the use life and then upgrading to lithium. Spot on!!!
-
This is one of the most comprehensive videos on this subject I have seen in terms of helping with an over-all understanding of the solar system and what is needed. I have watched a bunch of them over the past couple of weeks. Thanks.
-
This was perfect I have been struggling for several weeks trying to get my system back up and running. But now I get a better understanding and realize that my electrician hooked up the terminals wrong, positive to negative good thing I have a fuse that blew and hopefully not my inverter. Great job
-
Nathan, you are a terrific help and a great teacher. I hope to convert a van someday, and I really appreciate that you are making the electrical much less frightening and mysterious. I am in need of more homework before I use your spreadsheets and diagrams, but THANK YOU for putting things together on video, and explaining the parts, connections and reasons for doing one thing or another. I think I can do this! You’re wonderful. Sincerely, CML
-
Oh...and BRILLIANT tip re the USB ports that I had not thought of to 'future proof' your setup. Cheers mate, from Australia!
-
Setting up the solar for our van is the most daunting thing for me. After watching this video I definitely feel more confident about taking on this project. Thanks for all the info! I'll be sure to check out the other videos for a more in depth explanation.
-
Thank you for this presentation. The step by step nomenclature simplifies the right down the line nature of the path the electric current takes from the solar panels to the power outlet, well, as far as I could tell anyway. I have a basic idea of what I will need.
