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.

Any cable coming off the battery should have a fuse on it rated to protect the rating of the cable, and that fuse should be as close as possible to the source of power (the battery) as practical - they're there to protect against the wiring shorting in a fault and setting fire to your van. It's...

Will be interesting to see how you get on

Mine was run underneath the van and then pops up into where my power bank is (Clayton LPS)

My EcoFlow Alternator Charger has arrived! Very well packaged and well built, a quality feel to the unit and cables. The Cable required to run to the battery is pretty thick to say the least, so will need some careful routing. Thinking I may site the unit under the passenger seat. Hope to get...

Looks nice ..

Hello, Bought a camper earlier this year and it came with a duff flexi solar panel - it had been perimeter sealed so likely overheated within its first summer. Last weekend I bit the bullet and worked/prized it off... And sat the new 200w fixed frames in place. I didn't like how they...

Is there a legitimate way to add a portable solar panel to trickle charge a battery without having to drill holes in the van? I usually use hookup but have a couple festivals coming up. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

A two minute job then

So I finally got the time to add the MPPT. Thanks to everyone that helped answer my questions. I didn't have enough room under the drivers seat so had rlto route the battery cables to the passenger base which was surprisingly easy. Bit tight for space Cables pulled though without a snag...

The chassis acts as a huge negative cable - so if your lights are connected on the positive cable to your leisure battery, and the negative is connected to the chassis near the lights, connecting the shunt P- to the chassis ground (via the busbar) means instead of a long negative going from the...

That's correct - if you check the instructions it says to connect the MPPT to the battery first so it can detect the voltage. You can also set all the settings via the app at that point. You can also wire in the PV cables without a panel connected, at the same time as the battery cables. Then...
