How Can LED Lighting Revolutionise Your Van Life Experience.
Welcome to my KZfaq channel! In this video, I will be showing you how my Auxbeam light bar and dual switch panel has revolutionised my van life experience. This modification allows me to conveniently operate the light bar and my LED ditch lights from both the front and rear of my van.
It's true what they say, van building never stops so don't ever think you have made it to the end, because you havn't something else will be needed before you know it!
I will take you through the step-by-step process of installing the Auxbeam light bar onto the switch dual panel, ensuring a secure and professional setup. I will also provide detailed instructions on how to wire the light bar to the switch panel, ensuring proper functionality and ease of use.
By adding this light bar to my camper van, I have significantly enhanced the lighting capabilities of my vehicle, making it perfect for off-road adventures, camping trips, and more. The ability to control the light bar and LED ditch lights from both the front and rear of the van adds an extra level of convenience and versatility.
Whether you are a DIY enthusiast, a camper van owner, or simply interested in learning about electrical modifications, this video is for you. Join me as I share my knowledge and experience, providing you with valuable insights and tips along the way.
Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel for more exciting camper van modifications and DIY projects. Let's get started and make your camper van even more awesome with the addition of an Auxbeam light bar!

ABOUT
"Travel with Gary and Amika"
Welcome to the Official Travel with Gary and Amika KZfaq Channel, a father daughter combo capturing campervan style travel vlogs in and around the mountains, beaches, campsites and wild camping fully off grid.
Gary is dedicated to his daughters future and enjoys documenting her passion for life, which is apparent through Amikas constant giggling and smiles. He is well travelled having visited some 39 countries, however this quickly became difficult to continue when Amika was born. With his love for travel he wasnt going to let being a single father tie him down. When Amika was just 5 they jumped on a plane and backpacked around Romania and have since visited France and Spain twice exploring the Pyrenees mountain range.
In January 2022 Gary bought on old builders van and converted into a fully off grid tiny home on wheels with the aim of getting out and about as much as possible to see more of the world. KZfaq seemed the perfect way to documented these travels and to take a step into the world of becoming a digital nomad.
Gary and Amika both thank you for being here and hope that through their videos they can bring you a sense of adventure, a lots of laughter and with a clear message that you should never grow up and never take life too seriously!

You look like you know what you are dong bud, perfect video for me, I am learning as much as possible, planning out for when my van build will start, if you could start again, would you do anything different? I am buying a crafter soon.

i’m pretty happy with the bills as it goes land. I don’t really know what I would do different. If I was going to build a new one, I’ll probably build it totally different just because I like to do things and keep busy all the time my only advice to you and anyone is to build things and then go out and test to see if it works. That’s the only way to really know if the lay out is going to work practically

Loving your new electrics Gary. Well impressed - Raspberry Pi’s and all. Nice when you can consolidate rather than having 100s apps isn’t it. Love the light bar. Great you can see it all in one place. Shame about the blink, could you do it through IFTT or something like that - maybe not ideal but might work? All the very best, David (and Rachel) 👍

Hi David. I think it's possible yes but I want some good ip external cameras that pick up plates and faces next. So will probably not bother. The pis are great, lots to learn though. Hope you are both doing OK!!
