Routed from inside the van via the top of the passenger wheel arch breach in the fire wall. It comes out to the rear of the battery compartment. Red to battery, black to the head light bracket with a little scraping to ensure a good earth. Inside I routed the cableunder the dash behind the...
Dead easy. I lift the carpet slightly (with the passengerseat base out) and there's loads of room to get my arm pretty much elbow deep - I can then push the cable through from the (still fitted) drivers seat base and grab it with my hand.
The carpet in the Caravelle is split just behind the...
Fitted the Cerbo GX today! Only plumbed in the MPPT 100/20 so far, it works!
VRM portal sorted too! Van wifi (thanks be to @TallPaul_S )
Tomorrow the S4 Roamer 230 (upright not seatbase) turns up, that's going under the wardrobe where my existing gen 1 Roamer lurks now.
The rest of today will...
Yeh
I’m pretty sure you can access from underneath as you can see part of its cabling through the sump guard.
I think someone got their head in for a nibble - arse!
Like a lamb to the slaughter , hopefully to obtain some good advice from the Electrically minded on here . I have been pondering the layout & leisure setup in my new van for a while. I did go down the Roamer design route but it was all bells & whistles and would of been unnecessary for my needs...
All makes sense. Without the induction hob a 105ah would do you fine by the sound of it (same use as me). That would fit under your seat and keep the wiring, fusing and charging requirements lower and more likely compatible with what you have. Using a power pack for a portable induction hob...
I just got my order in for one. The question now is where to fit it.
My camper was supplied with the factory-fitted auxiliary battery under the passengerseat and it seems a bit cramped under there so I’m wondering whether it be better to put it under the driver’s seat where there’s much more...
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 passengerseat and route...
I need to run a thicker cable from the leisure battery under the passengerseat to the 12v socket on the side of the drivers seat. Unfortunately my dometic fridge doesn’t like the original thin wiring.
Does anyone know the easiest way to route the cable from under the passengerseat to under the...
oooh, that sounds promising.
from memory you moved all the passengerseat base connectors under the carpet when you fitted the swivel thing. . . .
you think there maybe a cable fault there?
Post a picture or two. It always helps when the people in the know can visualise the location, especially if there's an obvious reason for your problems.
Did you have the '100' split charge relay under the passengerseat?
There's 4x connections on this, 1. From starter battery 2. To aux battery 3. Ground 4. Engine signal.
I believe the engine signal wire is brown but I might be wrong. It'll be one of the 2 small wires. One will go to the...
Finished off installing the CTEK DC to DC charger underpassengerseat to replace OEM SCR (T6.1 with factory leisure battery). Was going to fit Victron after some Forum recommendations but wanted ability for Solar and the CTEK is one unit, plus I got a great Trade price on one so went for it...
Can you show a picture of how you earthed it please, as I presume like most of the ecoflow videos it not a good idea to use the negative battery terminal to fix the earth cable (black) once routed?
Yeah that sounds good @ginkster - the only possible downside with that would be easily swapping out the panel if needed but you'd just disconnect from the isolator and feed back through.
FYI @The Flying Scotsman I believe the cable length is 90cm on each of the leads, the box on the bottom...
Currently in the very early stages of scoping out the upgrade of my leisure installation:
It’s currently a standard VW second battery underpassengerseat set up.
Under the drivers seat is pretty clear except for a diesel heater pipe coming up through the floor and exiting out through the rear...
Hi,
I have recently fitted 13 pin electrics for my towbar and there was an unused factory permanent live under the passengerseat. Approx 8-10AWG cable size so should be up to the task for 13 pin electrics. It was unused, capped and fabric taped off so I assume factory for some kind of...
