Level 1 · Starter

Budget AGM Starter

The lowest-cost way into van electrics: an AGM battery, a modest solar panel and alternator charging running a small fridge, lights and USB sockets. Everything is sized conservatively so the budget bank lasts.

Weekend Camper

The classic starter system for weekend trips: a compressor fridge, LED lighting, water pump and device charging, all running on 12V DC. Solar plus alternator charging keeps the battery topped up with no inverter to worry about.

Level 2 · Weekender

Campsite Tourer (Shore Power)

Built for touring between campsites: shore power hook-up with proper residual-current protection, backed by solar for days off-grid. An inverter runs the kettle and TV when you are away from a pitch.

Level 2 · Weekender

City Stealth (No Solar)

A stealth city build with no visible solar panels: the battery charges entirely from the alternator while you drive. Fridge, lights, water and device charging for urban vanlife without giving the game away on the roof.

Level 2 · Weekender

Weekender + Inverter

A weekend setup with creature comforts: everything from the basic weekender plus a roof vent fan, diesel heater and an inverter for laptop charging. Still compact, but ready for long weekends in any season.

Level 3 · Off-grid

Solo Off-Grid Boondocker

For solo travellers who park up off-grid for days: Starlink internet, laptop charging, a diesel heater and a proper fridge, powered by a solar array sized for real overcast-day autonomy.

Level 4 · Full-timer

Couple Full-Timer

A complete live-aboard system for two: large fridge, full lighting, heating, hot water control, Starlink, two laptops and shore power for winter pitches. Every circuit is sized for daily, year-round use.

Level 5 · Flagship

Heavy Off-Grid (Induction Cooking)

The no-gas flagship build: induction cooking, coffee machine, kettle and Starlink on a big lithium bank with a large solar array. The most demanding system a 12V van can sensibly run — every cable and fuse matters here.

Not just pictures — living designs

Most camper van wiring diagrams online are static images: if your fridge is bigger or your solar array smaller, the cable sizes and fuse ratings on the diagram are wrong for your build. Every template here is generated by the Roam Wired design engine — open one in the editor, change anything, and the whole system re-sizes: battery bank, solar array, cable sizes, fuse ratings and the parts list.
