show off your controls

Post by bagmaker »

The bus needs a new electrical / services panel area, why re-invent the wheel?
Post a photo of your own for us to see what works best, also if you would, what you would change or what you would like in the perfect "Control centre" part of your RV.
What switch style you like, what you don't like to see, what you think is essential, etc.
Appreciate you all taking the time too!

Cheers

My solar controller is in a cabinet below this overhead locker, all in the same area but all in the same compartment would be good. 2nd one is my fresh water and grey and black waste water

Looks pretty neat Rob, cannot make out much detail on the photo.....
The fish identifier is a good idea! The bottom right shows a genset control??

The fish ID sticker was the very first thing to go :lol:

I have a much better photo but the board won't post it, says it's too big at 213kb???

Bottom right is gen set, above it is the inverter/charger controls and beside it is the battery and tank level monitors.

240 on the left and 12v circuit breakers beside them. All the circuit breakers are marine BEP brand

Rob if you would like to email the photo to me I'll work out why it won't post. Usually if you open it in IrfanView & resave it without doing anything to it, it'll reduce the pixel count. admin@ozervnews.com

Hell, I would have to clean them! I have a pl60 and the victron above the door. An ammeter and voltmeter that are next to useless, and the levelling controls near the pushbutton auto. Plus the genny start button. No electronic water grey or black tank levels. Plastic tube for the water. Tap the black tank. If water backflows into the shower, the grey tank needs an empty.
