Your the first person to ever comment on a video that has not yet been made public 😂 I’m guessing you were watching the playlist and found it that way so thank you for your continued support. Very much appreciated. 👍🏼

Yep back from our summer holidays so expect more videos from now on 🤩

Thank you 🙏🏼

I’m pleased you have said that because I always want to give the best honest advise to help others. Thank you for watching 👍🏼😊

That’s really lovely to know. Thank you for such a nice comment 🤩

It’s great upgrade to traditional blade fuse holders and much more functions than standard switch panel. Glad you like it 👍🏼😊

Thank you Stephen. It’s really nice to be appreciated and that means a lot to me. 👍🏼😊

It is very comprehensive you don’t need anything else to get it working 😊

I’m pleased you liked it. Thank you 🙏🏼😊

Thank you for that answer that makes perfect sense. I will add a switch to mine so it does the same. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you very much for your support 😊

No problem 😉 glad you found them to be useful.

Thank you Mike, yes a step up from a standard switch panel 👍🏼

Thanks for popping over. I’m sure you’ll find lots of useful information here 👍🏼😊

Thank you for returning after our break away. Really appreciate it

Yes they do I should have mentioned that. Thank you 😊

Thank you Greg 😊 great name too 😂

Thank you Michael 👍🏼😊

It’s always easier with a little lube 😂👍🏼

@@GregVirgoe ROTFL!

We are both very good thank you. Have been enjoying time at the summer festivals with friends. Now back out in Europe so expect more videos each week now Thank you for following us 👍🏼😊

@@GregVirgoe u explain everything perfectly wether ur building the merc or building trinkets,any word on another van because there're so expensive ? Enjoy ur further travels.r u looking for land in Europe because half the people I follow have,cj & m,theo & b,Ash & marrie !!!! Hope to see u both in person 1 day 💗 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

@@stum8374 not at the moment although it is something we have discussed. Currently still a lot of places to visit and see so being tied to one place does not fit with that just now. Hoping to visit some of those guys on this trip. Then new van build when we get back.

Thank you for always supporting us Lee 👍🏼🤩

Glad you liked it 👍🏼😊

Thank you Anthony 👍🏼😊

Thank you 🙏🏼 glad you liked it 🤩

Thank you for watching 👍🏼😊

It was nice to meet you and say hello at Stratford too. Your whippet’s are so well behaved. Thank you for watching 👍🏼😊

@@GregVirgoe thank you 🙏 was nice meeting you both in person 💙

You are most welcome 🙏🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you John 👍🏼😊

Thank you Mick 👍🏼😊

@@GregVirgoe missing you two 😢

Thank you 🙏🏼 are you still looking to buy a van to convert 😊

@@GregVirgoe yes when im ready with our house.. than the nex project.

I like unimog they are so cool 😎

@@GregVirgoe I just started to build the camper interior! :)

Thank you 🙏🏼

As I said in the video with only small loads my amp draw is much less than 60Amps so the volt drop on the longer 10mm cables is still much less than 3%. If you were attaching a larger load you would have to up those cables. You are right to mention it as it could be a factor to consider. Also there is simultaneous demand to consider too. When would everything be on at once anyway. Never, maybe two or three devices so the loads even less than what I have connected. 😎👍🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s not a very practical way of doing it as the zero 1000 is already a one shop solution. The largest 12v output on the zero is 10amps so that would’ve the most you could connect to the switch panel via the cigarette outlet. You could switch a few small lights etc.

I wouldn’t think so but you could do as we have and hide the switch panel away out of sight. 👍🏼😊

That's exactly what I'm thinking i guess this are not latching relays and require constant power to keep them on.

Not really. This will sit exactly in place of an existing blade fuse holder. Simple swap out. 👍🏼🤩

@@GregVirgoe Thanks Greg!

I think you would struggle to make aboard from individual relays and switches to give you the same functions for less money.

@@GregVirgoe I fully agree with you, plus there’s the app, which is properly handy; just hope it’s well written and secure. Great to have options such on/off, pulse or momentary and thanks for showing your installation. That’s great! Few more questions… Are the relays user-swappable (did you take the cover off to see), or don’t you expect these to be any problem? Good that you also get a 60A breaker. Is that DP? How much parasitic draw (eg the Bluetooth) is there without any circuitry being live? Is that why you installed the isolator? The bracketry also looks solid. Thanks for providing the eBay link and I’ve also seen their direct sale site, which shows prices in $. Unsure about postage, but the $ price seems quite a bit lower and it’s now really easy to make foreign currency purchases these days without incurring charges. Makes good sense to wire the controller off the unit’s supply so that it is also isolated rather than drawing a supply from somewhere else. One day changing the app icon will also change the sticker!

@@stco2426 the circuit board is covered with black silicone so none of the components can be replaced by the user. The breaker is just for the positive it’s not a DP one. The small power feed to the board should be switched as I found out this turns the board off to prevent any parasitic draw when not in use. That power supply would normally come from vehicle ignition source. Thank you for watching and hope it’s useful to you if you decide to buy one 👍🏼🤩

There are 6 way or 8 way and with or without the mobile app control. Just read the description you will find the one you want. 👍🏼😊

I would always advise fitting a battery to battery charger instead of a split charge relay. The relay is just a switch and it doesn’t know the condition of your battery or meter the charge accordingly. Where’s a charger will do that and ultimately look after your batteries much better for longer life. Yes, connect red to one battery and black to the other battery if you have two in parallel 👍🏼😊

I would expect you could add a dimmer toggle switch within the line for the light

If you turn your phone to landscape the keypad fills the screen and the colour wheel disappears. So they do get much bigger. I have an old smaller phone

I will find out and answer shortly 👍🏼

the small red power supply that is protected by the 5 amp blade fuse needs to be switched. That will turn the panel off when not in use and turn the lights off and stop any power drain. Hope that helps you 😊 I will measure the drain once I can get to my meter 😊

Yes you can as long as the fuse rating is below the individual contact rating and the total doesn’t exceed the total for the device 👍🏼😃

@@GregVirgoe thanks for that Greg, I'm going to give it a go 😉

Yes of course, that sounds like an interesting vehicle. I will help with advise where I can 😊

@@GregVirgoe thank you for your reply many thanks simon.

The PCB is covered in a black silicone to waterproof it if fitted in the engine compartment.

The fuse holder they provide is designed to come off an ignition live from the vehicle. I have since found out that if you switch the power to that red cable it turns the entire board off. It’s originally designed to switch aux lights on a vehicle. You couldn’t feed it from an output of the board because you’d never be able to turn it on.

@@GregVirgoe thanks, was forgetting that it had internal relay, not just busbars

They do have an icon for beer. The fish box is for the TV as they didn’t have one for that. We always call it the Haunted Fish Tank anyway 😂

@@GregVirgoe 😂

I'm guessing it's pretty crap seen as a couple of ppl have asked this question? 👍

Absolutely spot on! It can literally replace a blade fuse holder very easily.

@@GregVirgoe Perfect mate,r eally good find and great video.

Yes, because the tv converter changes the 12v to 19v DC and it’s still working perfectly 👍🏼😃

I will come back to you on that question. Please bear with me 👍🏼

Thanks

Mine is the 8 Gang version. There is a link in the description and pinned to the top this comment section.

No just control by it’s own app.

Not that I’m aware off only Bluetooth to their own app.

I will put a clamp meter on it in standby mode and come back to you on that 😊👍🏼

@@GregVirgoe Cheers, Greg.

That would be greatly appreciated. That's what's stalling me from a purchase. 👍

Hi Greg, great video, also looks like a great produce. Did you ever get round to testing the power consumption?

I don’t think it is far just outside the van. We had problems connecting to the device via Bluetooth so never use that feature. 🤔
