The panel looks removable, take off and route cables down D pillar

I'm after some advise guys, i have a SkyLow roof fitted and the interior is all carpet lined. I'm about to fit solar so need to run the cables. Anyone done this on a lined van before? and any idea on the best route for them? I've fitted solar to van with an SCA roof so know the usual routes but...

Routed from inside the van via the top of the passenger wheel arch breach in the fire wall. It comes out to the rear of the battery compartment. Red to battery, black to the head light bracket with a little scraping to ensure a good earth. Inside I routed the cable under the dash behind the...

How did you route the cable and did you earth it to the chassis? Cheers

Fitted my 305w Victron solar panel to my new roof rack. Made up 8x aluminium brackets out of 3mm angle. Drilled the brackets, the solar frame and rubber mounts between the bracket and the roof rack. All secured using M8 stainless bolts and nyloc nuts. I've got a 2x size (4x bolts) bracket for...

Gracias! @Rioja John . The photos and description you've attached are really useful. Any tips for routing the cable from the starter battery in the engine bay to the box? I've got a T6.1 SWB Shuttle. Thanks

Ahh okay! I’ll have a look under the van and check it out before I decide which route to go in if to move it forward or not then! Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated! I’m about to order a spotweld drill to remove the jack fixing bracket in the rear arch and the bulkhead bracket. I’ll...

So I have slowly been getting the titan black lower dash trim for the van. I liked the cool brushed titanium trim inserts for this, so went this route. The swap over is pretty straightforward, glovebox and center console requires a bit more work because of the torx screws and unclipping of dsg...

I’ve done exactly as you suggested, I’d guess it would be easier to route the cables before carpet but that would still be after sound deadening and insulation. If you are fitting ply panels then you have quite a bit of flexibility behind them anyway. The other through is cable is pretty cheap...

If I was starting from scratch with a van I'd 100% get all the wiring, plumbing etc in first before doing any sort of panelling - I'd also definitely put in routing channels with conduit - there's always something you want to fit later on that you didn't anticipate and especially when you're...

I’ve done exactly as you suggested, I’d guess it would be easier to route the cables before carpet

Okay so budget has now gone on parking charge and MOT and previous works mentioned above. So no new purchases of any substance for the time being. I now have in my spare room- sound deadening, thermo fleece, insulation, carpet and all the adhesives remaining windows and window blanks for rear...

Started work on fitting my inverter, the mounting plywood base has a few slots and holes to allow the loom connectors to sit behind the inverter, and for the cables to enter into the seat base. I'll need to remove the seat and lift the battery to wire it in but I also need to route in a 5m...

How did it go :)? I have ordered one and are curiuse have you installed it and what performance to expect.

Lil update..... Decided against selling the van so its here to stay! Upon deciding this I thought id get my ass in gear and finally finish the bits and bobs I've wanted to do for a while. First up was fitting the Uber Bus Components spare wheel carrier Next up was the all important solar...

Hi dellmassive Thought I’d post here on this thread as it’s a bit more recent than the seat base electrics thread from 2021. After a fair amount of deliberation I’ve decided to put half of the install on a bulkhead behind the drivers seat. The main reason being wanting to avoid stuff...

Yes you can buy black seat belt buckles, I have them. Got them off ebay, pics in my thread

Sadly i have had very limited time in the last week or so to work on the van but i did find time to finally fit the trimmed out panels to the back. Having made them out of 6mm ply standard hidden trim clips wouldn't fit which was a bit of an error. i ended up having to reduce the thickness...

Look forward to hearing how you get on. I reckon this could be a game changer. I see it as a far better solution than solar panels, unless I'm missing something.

I have just had my ecoflow 800w alternator charger delivered, will let you know how I get on fitting it, any help would be appreciated but I understand it's quite simple, the only issue will be routing the cable.
