My off-grid electrical system wiring proved to be a lot more complex than I anticipated, and it was something I didn’t see a lot of other channels discuss when I was researching my van build so I decided to make a dedicated video explaining exactly how to size each of your electrical circuit wires. I share my final wiring calculations as well as discuss some of the pros and cons of choosing a 12v system vs a 24v system, and how that plays a big impact on your electrical wiring.
