I think you are saying you've currently got a typical camper setup in a SWB van with a pop-top.. It sounds like you'd be better off with a Kombi van that has a triple rear seat (ISOFIX version) and two Captains seats up front - that would make it a five seater. Depending on the age of your...

Funny you should ask chap I'm part way through the process and have ordered some wire, fuses and battery isolator from Amazon. I've figured out how Redline did their wiring and it's not the best but at least I now know what goes where, the fridge and Webasto are both straight off the leisure...

You can get your own customised fascia made if you like. I got some ply from these guys once and they were making them; https://www.convertavan.shop/product-page/basic-switch-panel Also google found this; https://www.switchpanel.co.uk/custom-panels.html I guess there will be dozens...

Fogstar could have put in a more accurate BMS but then that would have increased the price. Tbh, you may not need to worry about the status if you're only off grid for a day or 2. I had a couple of days on a site at the weekend and used 34Ah in a 24hr period, with 12Ah (0.5a for 24hrs) being...

Ok back to basics. I know you're excited and want to chat about it but..... Why are you asking a forum full of strangers whats best for your needs? 25 years of building these things, I've heard this question over and over and over. Speak to your partner and talk about what YOU want. 1] what do...

I learnt a lot from this thread so wanted to share my Xmas progress for others to get ideas on their journey. So I decided on to do my own electrics, and needed to get the basics in before our roof comes off in January. We elected to have a seat base battery under the passenger seat and route...

In case you wanted this and hadn’t noticed, it looks like you’ve quoted the OP but haven’t typed a reply.

Blackout curtains and making a small pod to hold the fridge, control panel and rear stereo head unit.

Hi All, I was previously due to put some money into my T5 before some heavy bills and Nintendo Switch for the kids stopped it all! I've read some really great posts by @Dellmassive and understand the basics of electrics and solar but not some of the more detailed stuff. What we can probably...

@Dellmassive - you make a great point on the recharge time - my power consumption would be pretty modest (fridge has a separate internal battery), so I’d drawn the same conclusion that I’d be ok with a 120w solar cell topping up a 500ish Wh PPP. Your idea on using a leisure battery to “trickle...

I recently purchased an old Mercedes Vario 814 that had a kitchen fitted that was designed for smaller camper vans like the T6/T5. I'm planning a full refurb of the internal space and have access to a CNC machine so will be making custom furniture that suits our needs, so this is all surplus to...

I'm contemplating doing some 12v solar tinkering at home having some spare batteries but I also now own 3 camping devices that will solar input ( two power packs and fridge with battery ) so one option is to get a portable solar panel that would be useful when we start camping. My concern is...

Hi I wanted to do something similar.. have you got the cad file to share?

Sounds like a bit of a conveluted way round things... But you can get a small compressor fridge that will freeze down to -22c... Probably about 26ltr size. Why not just get a larger compressor fridge and just run that? have a look over here for more info ...

Yeah, totally agree about cooking in the van, it’s something we haven’t done since stinking our T25 out when we did bacon in it many moons ago. Idea was to have the capacity to run a portable induction hob from the van via extension cable outside when not using EHU. But probably as you guys say...

@Dellmassive our van has a leisure electrics install with solar panel on the roof to keep the battery topped up but it will not deliver 240v power to run laptops, fridge or power a camping electric kettle or a small Lavazza coffee machine. The 12v (cigarette adapter) powers the Vevor fridge and...

We are at a music festival in a tiny rural farming town. Normal population 13 or so but many vans of all descriptions descending on the town. There is 1 pub which has a semi trailer set up as the stage in the vacant lot next to it. Temperature today is fairly hot so all awnings are out on the...

You should make sure that both batteries get a maintenance charge - ideally you have a decent multi stage charger on your EHU already for the leisure battery so just leave it hooked up - starter battery you can either fit something like the AMT-12 to trickle it from the maintained leisure...

Then gave it a lick of paint and some rubber matting for the bottom Also added another LED strip along the top of the side bench And then added another small bit to the left of the fridge to hide some wiring and as somewhere to fix the Leffe bottle opener

Hey Guys, Just to update you on the Ecoflow delta 2 Max that i set up in my T6 instead of a leisure battery system. Everything works pretty good except for the diesel heater. The fridge lasts a good few days off grid and i have a cable run to the cigarette lighter so when i need to drive it...
