    Failed...

    Edited I'm here to vent. I have a T6 and a wolfbox G840s that I have utterly failed to install myself today... the hardwire kit I bought online (cheap) was faulty. So I went to Halfords and bought their hardwire kit. Oh what a meal I made of routing the wires! - BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE only myself...

    Dellmassive`s Camper Van Adventure

    kinda sort of started the install, in a grass camp field, with minimal tools. .. 1st job was battery and rear plate out. which gets us to this bung, we have to run the cables through this, then into the plenum chamber. ( i cut out a U shaped section large enough to allow the new cables to...

    Our NC500 Trip

    Clachtoll Beach Site Probably the favourite of the trip, staff really friendly and gave us a loan of a pair of ramp levelers which was appreciated. Short walk to another stunning beach area, the site rent out paddle boards, wet suits etc for adults and kids. The facilities were really nice...

    What Have You Bought, But Not Yet Fitted or Used?

    Wind deflectors - going on tomorrow morning Wolfbox Dashcam - I am procrastinating with as I am scared to wire in to the reverse light cable, if I can even figure out how to route to it. THQ replacements bulbs - yet to be delivered

    T6.1 diesel heater install

    Finished up my Eberspacher install the other day. Had a minor issue on initial start up which was due to having low fuel and the drivers side jacked up. Tried 4 times trying to get the system to prime before I realised it’s probably not picking fuel up from the tank. Put it back down on the...

    t6 t32 Is it possible (or worth it) to combine leisure battery systems?

    I suspect what's happened is that the base van had an aux battery specced to protect the starter from the heater running it down - a sensible choice. Then on conversion the 75aH is a bit small but the heater useful so you add a whole leisure setup - again a sensible choice. But you probably...

    t6 t32 Is it possible (or worth it) to combine leisure battery systems?

    How far do you think I should go with a Lithium replacement? My 2018 t32 t6 is a pop-top conversion which has a factory fit diesel heater and 75Ah leisure battery under front seat and an independently wired 105Ah leisure battery system (VSR, EHU mains charger and EHU) in the rear supporting...

    Swapping my leisure battery to LiFePO4

    All depends where you can mount the busbars, one you've worked that out you can basically put the battery in whichever way you want to. Essentially, work out where the existing cable ends that are on the battery at the moment will reach, mount the busbars in a good location based on this, and...

    TallPaul's Caravelle - MTB wagon!

    Wiring all complete on the interior light strips, rear floodlight, and PV cables all completely hidden, routed through the van internal trim and headlining. I'm really pleased with how the lighting has turned out, and I'll probably add a little more 'uplighting' via LED strips in the rear of...

    What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

    More wiring. Passenger seat, seat base and battery out today to route the wiring into the seat base, all done now. Added a 12v fuse box for the interior LED strips, rear floodlight, power feed to a Renogy One Core (future purchase) and the USB/12v in the seat back board. Oh and the PV cables...

    Twin slider cable route

    Evening all - Any tips/advice on routing cables from under the seat to the back of the van? I have a twin slider, looked at going up through the seat belt pillar, how do you come back down to the control panel which will be situated in the back? Looks like I may have to drill a hole?? Also I'm...

    What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

    Partially disassembled it... Oh and while I was there, started on the job of routing wiring through the roof for extra lights, leisure battery monitor, and solar cables. 6mm solar cables routed through the tailgate wiring boot, once I could find the hole into the main headlining area...

    Tailgate LED lighting

    Yep, I've been doing that today in fact. I'm wiring up some extra lighting inside the van, all running off the LB, this is one of them. I've decided to stick with the 'plentiful' light from this one, and I'll add a smaller, less powerful light lower down for when I just need to get stuff out...

    What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

    Ok, dimmer definitely needed. They're just a bit too bright at full whack, and dimming them will help with light leak too if I'm stealth camping. Before, with no light above the kitchen, or the single flexible spot light: At minimum: Full whack Mind you, even at full brightness they're...

    What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

    More test fitting of extra interior lights running off the LB. I can't find the post in an old thread of who had LED strips mounted here, but it's a fantastic idea. Just need to wait until it's dark to decide if I want them on a dimmer switch or not. With this and the new rear boot light...

    Audio Upgrade Stage-2 - Vibe Micro Amplifier Plug & Play - How I Done It -

    @Sim60 - Hi Simon, you must have had to split the aerial and non quad lock cables from the larger factory loom and route them back in to the head unit slot? - or what way did you approach this? - How much of a squeeze is it to get the quad lock block through the slot on the rear right of the...

    Battery Charger - Change Crocodile Clips for 12V 'Lighter' Plug

    I think I need assurance / a sanity check from the electrical experts. Along with a lot on here I’ve got a CTek MX5 charger fitted with a 12V (cig lighter) plug on a connector that can be swapped for the usual large crocodile clips for attaching to the starter battery terminals. I tend to just...

    Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it --

    That's the best way to do it, just check which way around the potential LiFePO4 battery has it's terminals, you might find they're the opposite to your AGM which makes putting wiring in with the plan to upgrade, tricky! Also, ring terminals for the battery terminals, as you don't want to be re...

    Upgrading H4s headlights to full LED headlights - programming high beams?

    As far as I know these are not branded and there a number of online shops selling them. I have PMed everyone who wanted to get links to the stores. Let me know if you need links :) thanks, roadtripper! Sounds plausible and makes a lot of sense! I definitely don't like the idea of unnecessary...

    Upgrading H4s headlights to full LED headlights - programming high beams?

    I think the normal H4 behaviour is to turn the low beam off when the high beam is on to save power. You probably don't want that with LED as it they tend to have very precise beam shapes and rely on the low beam staying on. Normally you would change the behaviour in the coding. The adapters...
