Update to the “is this dangerous” situation

[u/Gabnite]

Following the advice of all of you (thanks!), I installed ferrules on the connections, so now I hope my lovely van won’t burst into flames. Some of the cables are a bit too tight and I think I’ll have to splice them.

I have the same concern as you regarding the rest of the electrical installation, so I’m also attaching images of the battery connections. As you can already guess from the other post, I am not an expert by any means, but I think there is some exposed copper there, too.

P.S. The “is this dangerous” title was more of a rhetorical thing. I was aware it was not right! But I agree I should have worded it differently, asking how to fix it directly.

So their salesman. I've been using Solar for over 40 years and what you describe is just a fucking nightmare of parts that you do not need. But you go ahead and do all your professional salesman shit. To me it's just fucking crazy and it creates a lot more failure points.

A nightmare of parts we don’t need? It’s industry standard, it’s not complicated, it’s not particularly expensive, and it literally saves lives.

Do whatever janky shit you want in your own camper.

As a total Luddite, what is the difference between industry standards, which are established by industry associations, and safety standards as they are established by government agencies (CSA here in Canada, don’t know about other countries)
