Hi, I am in the process of putting electrics in van and routing cable from main battery, I have pulled out what I assumed to the the grommet that the cable goes through but it was attached to a pipe and seems to be some kind of breather and will be next to impossible to get the pipe back in...

Struggling to route rear cam cable through rubber tailgate rubber gaitor. Its so tight. Thoughts please. Photos attached.

It should be OK but better directly under the bumper.

You have enough kit to trial things this season though by the sounds of it, so try that and see if it works for you. You might find out you like the idea but you'd rather have a roof top panel so it charges all the time. One of the downsides of the portable panels is they are really only...

We're can I buy the hinge set

Jesus that 30a Victron is massive!

@Richard85 I’ve just done similar with the same battery and DC-DC but with a few extra bit. Things to note: The battery will need to go on its side under the seat. It is very tight to get the DC-DC in there too and also give it room for ventilation. Do you have a seat swivel? If so that may...

Not a HiLo roof but not sure why that would make a particular difference. Thought this photo might be useful. Cables are routed outside the canvas then through the van roof with cable entry glands similar to this: When the pop top is down everything is hidden. Panel was fitted by me (onto...

Looking for some information about how the solar panels are fitted. I am interested in how the cables from the solar panel enter the van. So would like to know do they come through the roof inside or outside of the canvas and how they are routed after that. Also was the panel fitted by the...

Had a delivery today of some of the cable I need and some other bits. Tentatively started to connect the 16mm² cables for the Orion XS so I could try and figure out some of the cable routing. Not going to lie, it's going to be tricky. But then, the 50mm² main battery cable (& inverter...

Paradoxically, given I'm often advising on leisure electrics, I've not gone any further down that route on my own van. As it's not a full camper the only thing we really would use a second battery for is lights when we're parked up for fish and chips or to power the small portable fridge. To...

The Victron 240v blue smart charger comes with the cables, has a quick connector and has two sets of battery connections-crocodile clips and ring terminals. They also sell a plug in extension cable. I’ve located my charger under the floor in the void where the o/s step would have been then run...

Yesterday and today, finally got my solar panel bonded to the pop top. Renogy 200W bonded with Sikaflex 552 to a layer of clear PPF so it will be easier to remove if (when!) I need to. Left a 3-4mm gap below the panel to give some ventilation. Cables route through a Scanstrut gland outside the...

I put all my ceiling lighting wiring in place before my pop top was fitted. I did the carpet lining myself so wiring wasn't an issue but I think most of my front to rear cabling I ran from the drivers seat base into the space beneath the offside slider footwell then up to my fuse box in the rear...

This is ringing all sorts of alarm bells in my head. I’m not familiar with the Renogy or its feed through features, but what kind of protection does it offer on the output side WRG overload/earth fault? It may be perfectly ok, but it feels wrong to me.

Ideal, thanks for the reassurance! My plan it to feed it into the AC port on the inverter. I'd like to use the inverter to send power to a 2 gang socket (also with a couple of USBs) on it that I would install on the side of my unit. My thoughts were to wire this with a UK plug into the...

I took the dash out on mine to route all the cables properly and to get to the BCM

Only another small update but i got the last of the sound deadening down last night and ran the main power cable for the spilt charge as well as a signal wire for the ctek back to the main fuse board. pretty much sticking to stock routing all the way which kept things nice and neat. I’m...

I think it comes down to physical space as well, particularly if you are considering an inverter. A 1KW inverter will be fine in either route, but you are going to need 100A cables between it and the battery that you will want to keep short. There is going to be more space with the 105Ah...

Yeah, tbh all that is planned as well as solar - I need to change to a DC-DC in order to go LiFePO4 but just doing the DC-DC won't actually give me that much benefit, I need to do both at the same time. I may get solar sorted first, I've got my eye on a Victron 305w rigid panel for £166...
