    Off-side cable routing from drivers seat base to back quarter panel - help please

    I need to get cables from under drivers seat to the o/s rear quarter area - the upper half between C and D pillars. I can get to the bottom half from the O/S passenger panel then via the C pillar. There is then no route up into the upper area I need. Do I have to go right the way back, into...

    Ecoflow Alternator Charger 800W

    Second this. I have a mental threshold of 30A - below that things are "everyday" and well within scope of good tidy DIY work, decent cable and easy crimp junctions. Above that you really need to think about routing, length, voltage drop and need more specialist heavy duty crimps and tools - if...

    MFD reset issue

    On March 4th, I routed and connected the cable to the alternative power source. Since then, I’ve driven the car for a little over 200 km, and everything seemed fine. However, since Monday, March 10th, the car has been sitting in the garage for two days without being used. I only checked a few...

    Ecoflow Alternator Charger 800W

    Absolutely. This is a supported configuration. I have a similar setup, although my leisure battery (VW California) is an AGM battery. Presumably, your Leisure is charged by your alternator already? If so, when the car/alternator is running, the voltage seen by the Alternator Charger should...

    Ecoflow Alternator Charger 800W

    Oh I will be reading replies with interest. I've bought the alternator charger but won't be fitting it myself. Have it booked into a place next week. Spoke with one of the guys working there about it and he said it would be grand connected to the direct live feed going to the LB. But his...

    Ecoflow Alternator Charger 800W

    I’m going to start my big power upgrade soon so have been working out where to put all the bits before planing the cable routes. I’m going to fit my EcoFlow 800w charger and would like to know if attaching the power wire to my lithium leisure battery will be ok instead of taking it to the...

    Due to an oversight on my part, I missed off the factory fit rear camera when I ordered my van. I recall asking for a retrofit install after delivery using the VW kit but didn’t as I wasn’t entirely comfortable with the reaction and approach to doing this so decided I’d fit one after delivery...

    Kit Length

    Rough out the route with a piece of string & take it from there, Better a yard too long than 6" short. Ultimately @Stay Frosty is correct. The only way to get it spot on is to make up the cables as required, if you're going down the pre-made route, be prepared to compromise.

    Kit Length

    Just looked back at my order history from 12v planet and I bought 3m of red and 3m of black 50A (6mm²) my DCDC is also under driver seat so I guess you'll be okay with the 3m kit? I've some left over that I used for other connections. Think I may have traced the route with some rope first to...

    VANMAX PopTop -- Awesome, then gone, now back again !! --

    reviews: @Led Sandwich " Hey mate mine was fitted at halifax camper conversions. Overall its been pretty good. No leaks, wind noise etc. I had them carpet line as well and that was a nice job and handy to get it back all done. they even gave me a few m of extra fabric. I spent ages trying to...

    Electric Hook Up (EHU) beside towbar?

    Thankfully, we never got to see an itemised cost - it was just bundled-in with the cost of the conversion. :) We went this route because, when we'd previously hired a camper with the hook-up point under the rear bumper, we almost drove off with the EHU still attached. Luckily, as we set off, I...

    Hillside Birchover

    Exactly what the Solar Shack guy did, he found the cable from the charger to the leisure battery was 8mm^2 and was able to use that like you say, so didn't have to route another cable round the van. I havent got into the void where the wheel arch is yet. EANs post looks like he got down to it...

    Upsizing Tyres things to know

    Th :thumbsup: That would be a great help as I was thinking of investing in a VCDS cable and software to do this myself, but if it isn't able to make this change then maybe not. "I’m sure he’d do it for very little"... don't sell him short! :D, I'd bung him a cheese sandwich or something...

    Power into the cab

    The route from starter battery area to under seat is not difficult if you are happy to remove seats, bases and cab floor. You’ll need to do that anyway even if you go under the van because you’ll still have to bring the cables in and connect stuff up. It also gives you chance to sound deaden the...

    Power into the cab

    2023 DSG T6.1 I’ve looked at ways of running cables from the battery to the front seats area and then to the offside wing area (camper conversion) The back part is easy to get behind the panels, but the sites I’ve seen show cables through the engine bulkhead, difficult and awkward route. Has...

    Solar panels UNDER roof rack!?

    Alongside the panel, through the poptop outside the canvas, and then into the back of the van. Along the roof beam and down the B pillar inside if I remember right. I had to take the plugs off to get them through the pop-top. Rubber grommets going through each panel. The housing for the...
