Patrol Victron Build

Post by Rooster »

After several months of cutting, measuring, reworking, experimenting, and dealing with some well-deserved (but very inconvenient) rainfall, I’m excited to finally share the completed rear electrical overhaul on my Patrol. What was originally planned as a 2-month project stretched to nearly 5—but in hindsight, that extra time allowed me to refine the layout, resolve unforeseen challenges, and build a system without compromise.

This setup may seem excessive to some, but with a wife and three kids joining me more often, it’s become a necessity rather than a luxury.

I’ve included a ZIP file containing the full PDF with all the technical details. Unfortunately, the forum won't allow direct upload of the PDF due to size restrictions.

Thanks for the info. Very useful. About to do something similar but most likely in 24V so your build is insightful.
