Self-build with support

Build it yourself, with a technical plan that works.

You build the camper electrical system. We create the technical drawing, select the components accordingly, and help you during the build.

Is guided self-build right for you?

Build it yourself, without having to figure everything out yourself

This approach is right for you if you want to build it yourself, but want to know clearly beforehand what you need and how everything is connected.

01

You want to know how to get started

Before you start, you want to know how the installation is structured and where each component goes.

02

You want to be able to ask for help

During construction, you want to be able to consult someone if you run into any problems.

03

You want everything to fit together

Components, cables, fuses and connection materials are logically matched in advance.

Before you begin

This is ready before you start

What you receive to design and build your installation yourself.

Advice and system choices

Together, we’ll determine which system best suits your energy usage, equipment, and travel plans.

Technical drawing to scale

You will see how components are connected and which cable cross-sections, fuses, connection points, and cable lugs are required.

No standard design, but a technical drawing for your camper.

Parts that work together

Faraday supplies the components and connection materials according to the drawing, so you don't have to source everything yourself.

Four hours of guidance

You allocate the four coaching hours to the times when you need explanation or help.

You can find practical exceptions in the FAQ.

How much do design and guidance cost?

A detailed plan and support during your own build

You are paying for a technical design that will enable you to build with a clear plan, as well as support should you have any questions during construction.

Technical custom drawing €150 incl. VAT
Four hours of guidance €325 incl. VAT
Together €475 incl. VAT
Consultation temporarily €49

The consultation currently costs €49 incl. VAT (normally €95). Continuing with guided self-build afterwards? We credit the full amount paid towards the €475 for the drawing and four hours of guidance. Components and materials are charged separately.

The required components and materials are not included. For guided self-build, Faraday preferably supplies the main system components, cables, fuses and connection materials. This helps keep the design, component selection and guidance aligned.

Already bought components? We first assess whether and how we can build on them. We agree in advance on the guidance, any additional components needed and responsibility for the installation.

Faraday Energy professionally helped us with the electrical plan for our self-build camper. All components were delivered neatly and we assembled the installation ourselves according to the plan. For the final points and setting up the apps, Peter helped us well. We couldn't be happier when everything worked.

Great for people who are DIY-ing their electrical systems, for example, in a camper van, like we did.

Does guided self-build suit your project?

During an initial consultation, we will discuss your camper, energy usage, and how much work you want to do yourself. This will help you determine whether guided self-build is right for you before we develop the design.
