We get stuck into the build out of the Overkill 12v 4wd Canopy RV Lithium Offgrid System for the D-MAX final build series. In Part 1 of this 12v build series, we start the installation of an absolutely OVERKILL off-grid power system for the 4WD Canopy. If you are looking to run induction cooking, air conditioning, or just want reliable power indefinitely while off-grid, this Victron Energy ecosystem is the gold standard.
We are ditching the basic setup and upgrading to a massive Lithium battery bank managed by a full suite of Victron components. In this episode, I walk you through the design, the layout, and the core components needed to build a "power station on wheels."

⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any YouTube fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing - easy to spot my videos! If that's not your thing and you'd prefer to watch a face, all good, I won't be offended, there's plenty of better looking ones to watch already on YouTube ;)
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
