How to Mount Multiple Anderson Plugs Neatly
Share
Once you start adding multiple Anderson plugs to a 4WD canopy, caravan or camper, an electrical panel can get cluttered pretty quickly.
Separate brackets will do the job, but planning all of the connections together can give you a much cleaner result.
Plan your connections before cutting
Start by working out everything you want in that area.
That might include:
- Main power
- Solar input
- Fridge power
- Battery charging
- DC-DC connections
- Accessory power
- Spare connections for future upgrades
Even if you don't need every connection immediately, thinking ahead can save drilling another hole later.
Group your plugs into one mount
Rather than mounting every Anderson plug on its own bracket, multiple connectors can be brought together into one purpose-built mount.
This keeps the spacing consistent, reduces the number of individual brackets and makes the whole installation look like it was planned from the beginning.
It also lets you position and measure the complete mount before making any permanent cuts in the canopy.
They don't all have to be the same plug
A multi-connector mount doesn't have to be a row of identical 50A plugs.
Depending on your setup, you can combine different Anderson sizes or mix Anderson and Deutsch connectors in the same mount.
If your setup requires a 3 pole connection, we also offer dedicated 3 Pin Anderson Plug Mounts.
Surface or flush mounted?
How you want the finished installation to look is worth considering before cutting the panel.
Our Surface Build Your Way system is a versatile option for bringing multiple connections together on the face of the panel.
For a lower-profile installation, the Flush Mount Build Your Way range lets you build a custom connector combination into a flush-style mount.
Build it around your setup
Instead of choosing a fixed mounting plate and designing your electrical system around it, Build Your Way lets you choose the connections your setup actually needs.
The overall dimensions update as you configure the mount, so you can check the available space before ordering — and more importantly, before cutting the panel.
Whether it's two Anderson plugs or a complete mixed-connector setup, the goal is simple:
Make it look like it was always meant to be there.
