So I'm in the process of building my van. I work full time and climb every day, and I'm basically learning, purchasing, and building as I work and get more money and time. I've finally gotten all of the major electrical components for my van, and I've made most of my wiring diagram, based off of explorist.life's wiring diagram online.
I have an electrical engineer for a brother, and he is willing to help, but it's very rare that I can get him to meet with me and actually help set up the system.
It's been almost a year now that I've had the van, and I remember thinking it would take me 2-3 months to finish it, quickly realizing I was gravely mistaken. And now, one year later, I still feel like I have 6+ months left of work. If not much more at this rate.
I've gotten more and more frustrated trying to make everything perfect before I quit my job and go full time, and I'm starting to give up the idea of completing and understanding everything on my own. I just want the van done. I have all of the components besides the batteries, and now I'm stuck because I can't finish the walls or ceiling or cabinets, until I start installing the wiring and electrical. But honestly, there's just so much I still don't understand.
Is there any way to hire one person, or a team of people to help me along in the process, showing me how things work, how to wire them, etc.
And if so, how much do you think this would cost?
I don't want to just drop off the van and the components and have someone install everything for me, I'd prefer to just hire someone experienced and actually help set everything up and walk me through all of it so I can fix anything if I needed to.
