Lost in forums, wiring diagrams and spec sheets?
Every video says something different and every forum thread ends in an argument. Most people planning a van build get stuck on the same few questions:
- How big does my leisure battery need to be?
- What cable sizes and fuses do I need, and where do they go?
- Which solar panels and controller suit my roof and my usage?
- Will the parts I am about to buy actually work together?
Get it wrong and you pay twice: in wasted parts, in rework, or in a system that is not safe.

Consultation FAQs
What is the difference between this and your free design service?
The free design service is for customers who want a complete Van Junkies power system: we design it around our kits and send you a quote. The consultation is paid, one to one time with our team on your own build, whatever brand you use and wherever you buy your parts.
Do I have to buy my parts from Van Junkies?
No. You are paying for advice, so you are free to buy your parts wherever you like. If you would like us to supply or install your system afterwards, we are happy to quote.
How long should I book for?
Book the hours you think you need. One hour suits specific questions or a check of an existing plan, and two hours suits a full system design. We charge on a rolling hourly basis, so if the call runs over, extra time is invoiced afterwards at the same rate.
What should I prepare?
Your vehicle details, a list of the appliances you want to run, photos of your space and any existing wiring, and any parts you already own. Send them over before the session and we can make the most of your time.
Can you look at a system someone else installed?
Yes. We regularly review DIY systems and installs by other companies, help track down faults and plan upgrades.
When will my consultation take place?
You pick a preferred date and time from our live calendar when you book. Nick then confirms it by email, usually within 1 working day. If he cannot make that time, we will offer you another one or a full refund. Sessions run Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm.
Can I rearrange my session?
Yes. Just let us know as early as possible and we will find a new time.
