I bought QL-LINRUN Six-String PV Combiner Box as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing Enclosure Layout Around the Solar Inputs
I moved the rack cross beams to suit the solar-panel length and added 2020 extrusion above the rack.
I brought two solar panels onto the roof for fitting.
I arranged junction boxes, cable glands, power leads and Ethernet routes alongside the mounting work.

My Takeaway from This Job
The panel-fitting session made rack space and cable routes one layout problem. These combiner purchases group solar inputs in an enclosure, while terminal placement, internal components and the cover construction distinguish the physical assemblies.

Internal Parts
Fuse positions, breaker and surge components
The combiner brings several PV input routes to a common output inside one enclosure. A useful roof-solar drawing identifies each incoming string and keeps those labels consistent at the box. The enclosure also occupies space for its lid, entries and internal wiring rather than just its outer rectangle. In a van layout, plan the panel positions and cable routes together so the number of physical branches in the drawing matches the selected combiner arrangement.
Use the same string identifiers at the roof panels, cable entries and combiner drawing.

Two Alternatives to Compare
ECO-WORTHY and VEVOR offer other enclosed PV combiner layouts; their terminal positions, enclosure construction and internal component arrangements differ.
This metal enclosure groups six solar-string inputs into a combiner assembly. Internal fuse holders and a circuit breaker organize the input and output connections.
