Let me know if you manage to get fish wire or similar through that corner where the red line is and successfully route the cable. If you do I might try again :)
Did you try using fish wire. Like I have in photo? Drill hole the size of 5 pin connector near camera. Then pass the fish wire behind panel (green line). Surely it'll come out other end (red line).
I need a 5 pin extension. They do them in 1m upwards. I only need 0.5m to connect to 5 pin plug...
Yes I have a sunroof, that’s what it must be, it’s coming from the exact spot as in the picture where the grommet is so I’ve routed the cable through anyway, the drain pipe is that’s what it is has came off and there is no way of me putting it back on either so hopefully won’t cause any issues
This is what I was looking to do, but I couldn’t get the cable to route through the top of the tailgate. I had a hole already from vanshades I’d removed so I used a wire to try and run it along the green line I’ve drawn behind the metalwork. It always got stuck at the red line though in the...
Found a route from the centre of the console to the left hand A pillar. Remove the trim and route over the passenger door. Then into the channel.over the left slide door. My van has lights all along here which pop out and provide access. Then a rod from the rubber tube hole forward to pick up...
Now for the next fun part.
Cable is threaded through rubber gaiter. Now how to get it to rear of camera. I read that in my next photo a hole was drilled so cable was threaded behind panel to hole where my finger is pointing and a hole was drilled. Threaded using fish wire.
Cable from front...
well thats not the AC drain as that looks like this.
++++++
do you have a sunroof?
I've herd that roof drains can come out in that area?

more info here on routing the cables. . .
the OEM route is behind the battery in in through the firewall next to the blower fan inlet...
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...
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...
@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...
