Luckily the previous owner had routed a power cable through the grommet into the engine bay.. I disconnected this cable and used it to pull through the power cable for the split relay.
I mounted the first fuse holder to the vans fuse box cover (the bay needs a good clean
)
I decided to mount everything to a raised board using 3mm ply and some blocks for feet.. I didn’t like the idea of the cabling, inverter and fuse box lying loose on the carpet.
Contemplating the layout took a lot longer than I thought, especially by trying to keep the fused cable to the battery as short as possible and keeping earthed and live cables separate
I cut a couple of holes in the ply just under where the inverter would be mounted and added some usb powered fans for extra ventilation.. the inverter has a usb output so the fans should come on when ever it’s in use
After a lot of cable cutting and terminal crimping, everything is wired up!
Next is to fit the lot under the passenger seat, wire in the positive cable from the starter battery to the VSR and earth the battery to the seat base mount.
Also I’ve got some plastic 5mm tube to run from the battery to somewhere out of the van for ventilation
♂️ So left the inverter disconnected for now.
That reminds me.. the door bumper strips need doing as well
