  • ✓ Guidance based on your specific vehicle, system, and products
  • ✓ Direction on EXPLORIST.life wiring diagrams and system design

Before You Book

Is a Virtual Consult Right for You?

These consultations are built around EXPLORIST.life systems and wiring diagrams. To make sure your session is useful, here's what's in scope — and what isn't.

We Can Help With

  • Systems based on EXPLORIST.life wiring diagrams
  • Getting started on a DIY electrical project
  • Reviewing minor personalized changes to our diagrams
  • General Q&A on off-grid electrical systems
  • Tiny house electrical questions (not permitting/code)

Outside Our Scope

  • Systems/diagrams from other sources (Bluetti, etc.)
  • Custom wiring diagrams built from scratch
  • Diagrams mixing multiple outside sources
  • General DIY camper building (non-electrical)
  • Marine wiring specific to your boat's manufacturer
Frequently Asked Questions

Managing Expectations

Will you provide answers for system designs and products from non-EXPLORIST.life sources?

No. If you've purchased your electrical system from another party or are following a non-EXPLORIST.life wiring diagram, please reach out to that source — we can't vouch for designs we haven't personally tried.

Will you make me a custom wiring diagram?

No. Our existing diagrams meet the needs of 97% of the people we work with. If your needs require an alteration, we can point you in the right direction, but building a custom diagram is outside the scope of this service.

Will you review a wiring diagram I've made?

Yes — as long as it's based on an EXPLORIST.life system design. We can help with minor personalized changes, but if you've made your own diagram based on a mismatch of sources — EXPLORIST.life, Will Prowse, Far Out Ride, and wherever else — we won't be able to provide support.

I'm building a tiny house and have questions — can you help?

Yes, we can answer your questions about tiny house electrical systems. Advice on residential building codes, permitting, etc. is outside what we can offer.

Does this cover the non-electrical parts of my camper build (cabinets, walls, plumbing, etc.)?

No. This consultation is for electrical systems only — we're not able to cover other parts of a DIY camper build, like carpentry, plumbing, or interior layout, during your session.

Will you provide support after the consultation?

Limited email support is available afterward for what was covered on your call (links, shared carts, etc.). It's not intended to extend the session — if you need more, you can book a second consult.

Do you offer support for Marine Electrical Systems?

We take pride in our expertise in off-grid power systems, but it's crucial to understand that we may not be familiar with the wiring nuances of every boat brand. While many boats share common wiring practices, others can be quite different and may require specific knowledge we can't provide.

Our expertise: though we may not know your vessel's specific wiring, we excel in designing and supporting off-grid power systems. Our aim during your consultation is to address your questions and help steer you toward a solution that fits your needs.

How you can help us: to get the most out of your consultation, come with a numbered list of specific questions about your marine power system. Clear, focused questions get you more accurate advice — for example, "I have room for 12 of these solar panels and flexible options between a 12V or 24V battery bank; I want to know my options for wiring these panels to charge my bank" is a lot more useful to us than "How do I upgrade solar on my boat?"

For questions specific to your boat's wiring, we recommend contacting your boat's manufacturer directly.

Meeting Logistics

Consultations are held on Google Meet. Your confirmation email and reminders include your Google Meet join link — you will not receive a traditional phone call.

Log in a few minutes early to make sure your video and audio are working. Meeting time won't be extended for technical issues on your end.

Payment & Reminders

Your payment link is sent automatically once you book, and you'll pay directly through HoneyBook.

Payment is due 24 hours before your consultation. If it isn't paid by then, your appointment will be canceled.

You'll get reminder emails 1 week before and 24 hours before your call.

Out-of-Scope Consultations
