I’ve seen unmounted AT tyres strapped down to pop-top roofs on ‘expedition campers’ in Switzerland. These were in addition to spare AT wheels on rims mounted on the tailgate on what looked like Seikel or Terranger carriers. The ones I saw had the tyres tied down with load straps clipped to rails...

Love this! I have my jackery and want to avoid doing a big install with inverter etc fitted to the van. Ideally yes want to be able to charge the van from the jackery - your idea above works well. Also solar... I see you went for a CTEK, I was looking at the Victron products mainly...

Yesterday and today, finally got my solar panel bonded to the pop top. Renogy 200W bonded with Sikaflex 552 to a layer of clear PPF so it will be easier to remove if (when!) I need to. Left a 3-4mm gap below the panel to give some ventilation. Cables route through a Scanstrut gland outside the...

Hold up o_O on the non-poptop+tailgate t6, are we saying there are grommets you can use to pass solar cable inside keeping the roof from having new holes? I’m expecting someone to say these are only available/unused if you have a barn door :rolleyes:

got a rivnut tool today. Mounted aluminium angle to the roof bars & will bolt the solar panel to that. Have to run the front bar backwards due to the aero profile. Need the fat edge for the rivnut. Rest of the kit delayed in post so can’t do much more. edit* Got it mounted between the roof...

Creating this thread to share photos on progress of the build and to share ideas. Been reading this thread and learning all I can as well as incorporating my experience of remote Overlanding around the African continent over the past 15 years. The build is leaning towards an offroad capable...

Not a single build thread, but posts in various leisure electrics threads and the ‘what have you done to your van today’ thread. Mine was an upgrade to lifepo4 plus solar which also meant replacing the existing, but unsuitable, CBE kit and taking the opportunity to relocate things from the rear...

Not a single build thread, but posts in various leisure electrics threads and the ‘WHYDTYVT’ thread. Mine was an upgrade to lifepo4 plus solar which also meant replacing the existing, but unsuitable, CBE kit and taking the opportunity to relocate things from the rear wardrobe. In short(ish), it...

What leisure battery do you have? The fact that it's only happening at night, means that the solar is increasing the surface voltage of the battery during the day so any voltage drops is from a higher level. It could be that your battery is on its way out. If you can measure what the battery...

We looked at lots of converted vans, but in the end we bought a Candy White PV with barn doors. We then had it converted into a camper with the usual hob, sink and fridge. The pop top was manufactured by Austops. We also specced a Evo bed on rails which has made the van so practical. We also...

Some updated photos. Still a work in progress but delighted to nearly be at the finish line of having a functioning camper. I was very skeptical about the amount I spent on Dodo Mat products but the difference is really noticeable when driving. Will need to wait and see if it makes a difference...

Certainly rent one! What got us into all this was a rental that we did the NC500 with (Didn't want to put all those miles on our own van!) Rented a tailgate T6.1 and realised because of our haphazard packing abilities barn doors we're a better option for us, only half the gear falls out now when...
