I purchased the Van Light Kit from Nate at EXPLORIST.life after following Nate & Steph’s very helpful (no nonsense) YouTube video tutorials from the onset of my van build (in progress) to both simplify my build and to aid me in learning all about mobile electrical systems. All of the components provide in Explorist.life kits are top-notch— Victron components and Battle Born batteries, and though I had previously purchased LiTime batteries on the recommendation of Will Prowse, Nate and his team worked with me with my previously purchased batteries. They provided top notch service and fast shipping backed by excellent warranties. Nate was very responsive in answering all of my questions prior to my purchase. Having every intention of installing my vans electrical system myself, I unfortunately took a fall and fractured my dominant hand bringing me to a full-stop at the peak of the summer building season. And so, though definitely not a part of my original plan, I was very thankful to also have the option to have my system installed by the EXPLORIST.life installation team and scheduled with them without hesitation and took a fantastic trip to Blue River Oregon wherein I left my van in the very capable hands of Ira and Morgan who then spent a week installing my system while I explored the beautiful McKenzie River area. On pickup, Ira and Morgan thoroughly explained each component in my system, providing me a binder filled with detailed instructions on how my system worked and how to maintain it. This companies professionalism and follow up (warranties, customer support) is superb and I highly recommend the EXPLORIST.life entire team. Professional, knowledgeable, personable—so very helpful from start to finish! They have earned my business—Sincere thanks to the entire team @ Explorist.life!

We’ve used this electrical kit for our last two builds and they have been amazing! Everything is labeled and organized in an easy-to-navigate system. It’s nice to know we’re using quality components and the Explorist team answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend!
