Common auto electrical jobs in Mudjimba
Mudjimba is a small coastal suburb with Mudjimba Island about a kilometre offshore, bushland along the foreshore and marshland in the south. The airport sits next door, and the beach is a popular surf break.
Wiring a van conversion
Turning a van into a surf camper usually means adding a second battery, lights, a fridge and USB outlets. Each circuit needs the right size cable and its own fuse, placed close to the power source. Getting the wiring plan right at the start saves rework later. Our guide on where to put the fuse when wiring an accessory explains why placement matters.

Keeping the auxiliary battery charged
A camper or van conversion needs a way to charge its second battery while driving. On newer vehicles with smart alternators, a DC-DC charger is often the best option, as it manages the charging properly. Older vehicles may work with a simpler isolator. Our guide comparing a DC-DC charger or isolator explains the differences. Whichever you choose, run heavy enough cable from the front battery to the back of the van, because long cable runs lose voltage quickly.

Reversing cameras on vans
Vans and campers have large blind spots behind them, and reversing in tight spots like holiday park sites can be tricky. A reversing camera makes it much easier. Wired cameras usually give a more reliable picture than wireless ones on long vehicles. Run the cable carefully and seal any holes in the body to keep water out. Mount the camera high on the rear doors for the widest view, and power it from the reverse light circuit so it comes on automatically.

Salt and coastal moisture
With the ocean on one side and marshland to the south, cars in Mudjimba deal with salt and humidity. Corrosion builds on battery terminals and connectors, especially if the car is parked outdoors. Check under the bonnet every few months and clean off any white or green deposits. Our guide on cleaning corroded battery terminals shows how. Vans parked on the street near the Esplanade overnight tend to show it first.

Mudjimba auto electrical questions
Do I need a DC-DC charger for my van conversion?
If your van has a smart alternator, a DC-DC charger is usually the best way to charge the second battery properly. It also suits lithium batteries, which need a specific charging profile. On older vans with standard alternators, a simple isolator may be enough. Check your vehicle and battery type before you decide.
Can I wire my own van conversion?
Many people do the 12V wiring themselves, but it needs care. Use the right cable sizes, fuse every circuit near the battery and secure the wiring well. Anything involving 240V wiring, such as mains power outlets or shore power inlets, must be done by a licensed electrician. If you're unsure, have an auto electrician check your work.
Local tip for Mudjimba
If you're building a van conversion in Mudjimba, draw a wiring diagram before you start. Mark every circuit, cable size and fuse rating, and keep a copy in the van. It makes fault finding much easier later, and an auto electrician can check your plan before you buy all the parts.
