When you first choose to build a campervan it can be overwhelming trying to sort through all of the different ways of doing each part. Often people will reach the electrics and decide that trying to work out what you need, what thickness wires, how many fuse boxes what type of split charger etc. isn't for them. That's why we came up with our full electrical camper conversion kits. We've taken care of all of the boring bits, allowing you to get on with the exciting part of installing the wiring and finishing your van.
Just tell us what you'd like wired in and where and we will make your wiring kit to suit.
Complete with labels around the end of the wires for an easy install.
 
The kit also benefits from our fitting manual which can be viewed online here.
 
A complete, expandable tailor-made electrical kit for your camper van. This system covers the mains hook up (240V) side of things. In the recommended products section below, there is are products for the 12V, inverters, and solar, these will all be integrated and we'll make sure they're compatible before we finish your order. Check out the how-to guide to decide what you might need.
 
Product description
 
Each kit is custom made to suit your individual conversion how we normally do this is by one of our layout forms. We have a blank one that you can fill out with your needs or we have some sample ones for more popular layouts. Either open the blank one fill it out and attach it to your order, or indicate the code for your sample layout. If you're unsure of what you need or where you'd like it to go. One of our team can give you a call, offer advice and run through the layout on the phone. Book a free consultation. 
 
Please be sure to leave an email address and a contact number when ordering in case we need to discuss your layout with you. 
 
Please note: if you are also purchasing the core 12V wiring kit, you can fill out just one 12 & 240V layout form and this will be fine for both kits. 
 
This system is made in our workshop in accordance with the latest IET regulations and British Standards.
 
Cable routing. As we design the wiring looms, these looms will have ample cable to reach each component, allowing for sensible routing, we do take the shortest practical route, which we usually define as around the perimeter of the van at floor level and then up to components, with the exception of light looms which run up into the roof from the switch and then around the roof. If you have a specific cable routing in mind, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate this. 

We won't plan to run cables under the floor, as we know this is often the first part you will do in the camper and don't want to be held up waiting for wiring to go under the floor. 
 
With this kit, we aim to supply all of the wiring, fusing, switching and charging you need to put a 240V system into your campervan. All you will need to add is the mains hook up lead. The only specialist tools we recommend you get are a socket tester, and cable fixings (cable ties, adhesive cable tie bases, "P" clips etc). Once installed, you should have it checked and tested by a competent person. This should include polarity testing and a timed RCD test. 
 
When you plug into the mains 240V or "hook up" your leisure battery will be charged automatically from the mains battery charger. Once it's first set up, you won't need to touch it again it will remember its' setting and charge when plugged. When the battery is full, it will go into float mode.

Flush mounted inlet socket. This uses the same 3 pin round blue hook up lead to connect between the site post and your camper. It's designed to be mounted through the side of the van by cutting a hole. Supplied with a backing gasket (we use this as a template for cutting the hole). It has 4 screw holes, one in each corner to compliment the recommended fixing/sealing methods. Available in white or black.
