This gallery brings together ten archived electrical-layout images. Some show equipment carried in aluminum-extrusion frames; others use mounting boards or sit within larger van cabinetry. Use the collection to compare packaging, access and cable-routing ideas rather than treating it as one complete system design.

Find The View You Need

  • Images 1, 2 and 10: the saved CraftAutoworks filenames identify rear, side and connector views of a bench-built electrical assembly. Compare the frame opening, control-facing side and cable exits across those views.
  • Images 3, 4 and 9: installed van examples place electrical equipment beside framing, floor space and enclosure panels. These views help locate the equipment within the surrounding interior.
  • Images 5, 6, 7 and 8: equipment-board and framed-assembly views provide other arrangements. Several are saved video-thumbnail images; text printed on a thumbnail is part of that archived image.

The ten views also do not represent ten verified designs or a single compatible parts list.

Compare The Physical Layout

Choose a view that resembles the space you are planning, then sketch the outside envelope using measurements from your actual van. Mark which face would open for inspection and where cables would enter and leave. Keep the equipment manufacturer’s required clearances with the sketch instead of estimating them from the photograph.

Review access in the finished interior: can the intended inspection face be reached after the bed, cabinet and trim are installed? Which panel would need removal to see labels or reach service items? Record those questions before deciding that a compact assembly will fit.

Keep Image Evidence In Context

Use the photographs to compare equipment layout, frame arrangement and service access.

Use the decision log to retain the image number, measured space, exact equipment models and unresolved mounting/access questions. The system-diagram reference addresses a different question: the scope of particular electrical schematics. Keep the physical mounting sketch and applicable electrical design together while recognising their different purposes.
