DIY Self Build 240V Camper Van Mains Hook Up Kit With Victron Battery Charger

This is a complete DIY kit install mains hook up into your camper van. Once fitted this will provide you with 240V mains while on site and provide power out to a double socket. single socket/double pole switch (for hard wiring a 2/3 way fridge), and a single socket for a battery charger connection.

We know, and you have probably seem them too, that there are loads of consumer units advertised as “camper” or “caravan units”. When 99% of the time they are nothing of the sort.

Just having an RCD and a MCB isn’t enough, they need to be the right ones to be safe and compliant.

As in all our kits, we only ever use double pole breakers. When using your camper in the EU, they tend to use a system where the natural is not earthed, having double pole equipment ensures a higher level of safety. Each outlet is also individually protected by their own MCB as per regulations.

The RCD is also correct being a Type A unit, and MCB’s with a B tripping curve.

With the battery charger in the kit, this would also mean when plugged in on site, the unit will keep your leisure battery topped up.

This kit is in parts so will require assembly by a professional electrician.
