Lensun 120w flexible solar panel to provide additional power mainly for fridge during days out, connected to C-tek 250 which also provides top up to starter battery when leisure battery is full. As I don’t intend fitting a pop top and didn’t want to bond a panel to the roof I decided to fit it...

Now sold.

I dont have any pics but i drilled 5 holes in each of the roof bars and fitted 5 rivnuts, then drilled corresponding holes in the frame of the solar panel and bolted it together. routing the cables i ran them from the solar panel down the tailgate removed the rear light and ran the cables...

I have a BlackVue DR750S-2CH and have it powered off my leisure battery. Left it parked up for about 3 weeks before I decided to turn it off to stop it flattening the leisure battery (haven’t fitted solar yet). Got a Victron Smart Battery Protect so can turn off all the leisure battery supplies...

I had this van professionally converted by a local company in November 2019 to tour upon my retirement at the start of 2020. I had plans for that Summer, but we all know what happened then. The van has had hardly any use for it's intended purpose, so due to watching it depreciate on the...

Anybody wanting any work done in the Somerset area, l can throughly recommend The Van Cave. I came across Chris on this forum and he was local to me as I live in Yeovil. Thought I would give him ago at a few mods I had planned for my van. Can’t recommend Chris enough. My van is almost where I...

**Edit 9/6/22** price reduced to £62,000 I’ve reluctantly decided to sell my camper which was brand new in May 2021. I thought I’d see if there is any interest here before I take it back to Bodans for them to sell. So the details are as follows: MY2021 VW Transporter Highline T6.1 T32 150bhp...

I thought it might be helpful to add some screenshots from the Renogy app just as an alternative to the Victron stuff. I have a Renogy DCC30S DC-DC charger with MPPT and the Bluetooth module which allows connecting to your phone running this little app. First picture shows van in fully charged...

Yea its nice and tidy now. I stuck the pannel down with 3m VHB tape and sikaflex , making sure there are air gaps inside but a sealed front edge. I kept the rear clear from adhesive to allow air to escape to help with cooling a bit. Then I drilled the holes, removed the connectors, put the...

Slightly piggybacking onto this thread but I'm having my lwb soundproofed, insulated and carpeted in a month. I would like to make sure that I can install a flexible solar panel or two onto the roof but can't afford it, at the moment and unlikely to need it this year anyway my question is that...

I’d make the water and electrical inlets hidden (probably behind the flap below the tail lights on a tailgate van). I’d also put a dedicated cutlery drawer in, as there isn’t one. I’d put more lighting in, a solar panel, extra cabling for rear speakers, and a reversing camera. I’d also future...

Sounds great, you have any pictures? some great mods there!

Here’s a handful that are advertised on this forum that are around that price range (listed oldest to newest advert)

Useful (but expensive!) thread this. In my spec I’ve now included: - DSG Auto - smoother and easier drive around the hills and in traffic - Highline package - has a good number of things I consider essential inc folding mirrors, climate control, ACC - LED lights - I read too many negatives...

Hi, We are van converters, and work in the option 2 and 3 markets. Based in Somerset and will answer your question impartially. As with most things these are my observations from a user, installer and maintenance point of view so I realise subjectivity is a t play, people will have differing...

Excited to say we are just about to buy our dream T6.1 camper conversion. We've been researching for around a couple of years now; the forum has been a great resource. We have been to shows, found a great converter, hired a van to try the layout etc., chosen our base van spec., and we're just...

Hey, tbh @Leighjcj we have decided to get things done we know we want/need and to figure out where to go next. We are booked in for low life roof (2 kids) and know we need decent insulation (want to go snowboarding in alps), leisure battery, charging, solar and hookup so working towards that...

well done . . . the install is looking well smart. what sort of watts are you pulling? . . . any idea of the max yopu can draw? whats the Renogy inverter-charger rated at?
