Cheers Rob I appreciate that mate 🫶😊

I got the dual panel set from Auxbeam. Such a simple system to fit and I would highly recommend anyone who's just starting to build to go buy one.

Another great video, mate! Easy to follow and obviously a well though out product! Oh how I envy you. All that room in the A-pillars and the dash, where everything in my Crafter is filled with air bags. But, when I am at that stage, I'll have to find a way to fit one - perhaps a smaller 6-gang unit. Will the relay unit for the 6-gang setup be smaller or just less populated than the 12-gang unit? Do all Auxbeam switch panels feature remote controls? Thanks for taking the time to do the video and cheers from across the pond! 🚐☁🍀

just throw the air bags away and fit a resistor then you will have lots of room

The 12 gang switch panel only fits the 12 gang control I believe

I have the 6 switch - its a pain in the ass as you cant turn off the light unless you turn off everything then whats the point of having a swtich in the van

what light do you mean; that you can't turn off?

@@antmck33 Well - you can turn off and on say your light bar - that has a small light to say its on or off, you can turn the whole panel off - each button has a backlight - thats on all the time, unless the swtich itself is turned off. So my scenario is this - i use that in my van, i have the switch setup with my fridge, usb, lights etc. The whole thing is lit up all the time - unless i use a toggle swtich to turn it off - which means turning everything off so it can be dark at night. So then i cant get up in the night and just flick a switch for a light - i have to toggle the Auxbeam back, then press the lights button - then turn the light on. So the two options is (even if the backlight is turned all the way down - and the instructions say something about it will self dim - it doesnt) - leave it on - let it light up the van all the time, or add a toggle relay to turn it off in the middle - which is what Auxbeam support suggested

that sounds like its not wired correctly,

Sam, I do enjoy your videos, but please stop referring to DC negative as earth or ground, you are a qualified electrical engineer and you know it's wrong and misleading. There are a few self builders making a right hash of wiring. So now I'll just get on with enjoying your vids👍

Its on their website - print off stickers, put tape on that - stick them on. Their stickers are so expensive and not directed towards van building
