I’m looking to add a power distribution block/fuse panel under my van.
Supplied by the under body leisure battery bank.
It will get mounted out of direct water/mud, unlikely to see deep water crossings etc.
Any recommendations for a “waterproof” unit?
I live in the PNW and it can stay pretty damp under the vehicles. Maybe a 6-8 circuit system would be enough.
Thinking maybe one of the Bluesea panels would be a good option?
Out of curiosity, why do you want to put it under the van? Seems like it would be difficult to get to and service. My air system and water tank are both under the van and they are a pain to get to making me not check them as often as I should.

Current van: 2002 Ford E350 extended body camper with Colorado Camper Van pop top and Agile Offroad 4WD conversion.
It will be to add power to outside functions. Reverse lights, work lights, source for paddle board air pump!
Don’t want to run several circuits through the floor with added wire length and don’t think I have a great spot in the floor to do that. I will take another look and consider it though. Would definitely be a more protected way to do it.
The van is pretty tall and not too difficult to get under so that’s not too much of a concern.
Especially living/driving in wet WA,
I would strongly consider adding a power block with fuses under the hood. Come through the firewall grommets for your switches. Then run your home made harness underneath.

Littlefuse makes a number of sealed fuse/relay/distribution products. I have a couple of their sealed fuse blocks/relay holders and they are nice quality and the seal is very robust.
Eaton Bussman also makes a number of good sealed panels. I have used this brand before and had good experience with them too.
