12 V electrical for a van plan, to scale

Battery, solar, fuses and appliances in a converted vehicle.

The plan opens on "Cargo area", a 3.30 m (10' 10") by 1.78 m (5' 10") rectangle (5.87 m² (63 sq ft)) that you correct to your own measurements. Its line (wall) is 4 cm thick. Already in place: solar panel, solar charge controller, 12 v battery, battery switch, fuse block, 2 × led light…

How to use it

Adjust the cargo area to your vehicle's dimensions.
Place the battery, the fuse block and each appliance where they will go.
Pick the Link tool (L key): click one symbol, then another. A click on empty space adds a bend.
Give each wire its gauge in the link panel: its length is already there.
With nothing selected, the plan panel gives the total length of each link type.

What Planimonde calculates for this plan

The length of each side, written along the line and corrected with one click.
The area of each closed outline and of each zone you mark out.
Wall thickness: your measurements apply to the inside, the outside or the centre line, as you choose.
The closing gap when on-site measurements contradict each other, and where it lies.
The clearance to leave in front of each item, to suggest other layouts without overlap.
The scale of the PDF, with a reference bar to check with a ruler once the page is printed.

What this plan is, and what it is not

Sketch of intent. The gauge of every wire and the rating of every fuse must be calculated for its circuit: the wrong size can start a fire. This plan does not do that calculation and does not replace the manufacturers' instructions.
