Upgrading a VW California camper - Solar panels & Lithium batteries! Episode #1

This is the first video in a series of episodes where I'll be redoing the leisure electrics for offgrid camping, in our 2007 VW T5 California.
I'll be removing and redoing the current setup and installing new solar panels, LiFePo4 Renogy batteries and some other equipment, to hopefully double our offgrid autonomy! Stay tuned!

Gear to be installed:

Offgridtech 150W Mono Solar Panel (Two)

or
Victron Orion DC DC Charger 12-12/30 Isolated/Non-Isolated

Bluetooth module BT2 (I'm using it for the DCDC charger, could be used with the batteries but can't be used if the monitoring display is also connected, and I prefer to have the power button from the display to put batteries in shelf mode.)
