240v

Got my van today and this equipment was left in ! I was never getting involved in the electrics but I wonder if this equipment could be used in my conversion ??

Ok so im looking to replace the CU i have under my passenger seat with a smaller one under the bonnet, currently i have a single mains cable running from under the bonnet into the van and to the consumer unit where i have a MCB and 2 RCDs one for the battery charger and one for the single socket...

Hello! I've recently purchased my first camper:waving:- and I had a question that I'm hoping someone could help with. I believe it's a fairly standard setup with a Leisure Battery that runs the lights and the fridge, and it has 240V Plug-Tower and Microwave for when it's connected to a...

Hi all, I've had a little search in the forum but can't find my answer. Is there a secondly grommet other than the one behind the starter battery? I want to put my 240v hook under the bonnet but someone said mention that the 240v should be keep away from the 12v. I already have a 12v cable...

Morning all Completed the 240v in the van. Now it's doing my head in. RCBO fitted. Plug in and all tests fine. 240 at sockets. As soon as I plug anything in it trips. Tested all wiring. No shorts whatsoever. I'm wondering if it's the connection blocks I've used. I have used them before with no...

Hi all. I was looking at Facebook, someone is selling a brand new "wired campers" pre wired kit for £125. Seems like there are lots of lots on eBay. Can anyone suggest a kit or a list of items to purchase for a complete 240v hook up. Thanks

Now onto planning my electrical system, planning to go for a fairly basic system, B2B charger and inverter along with 12v and 230v fuse box potentially, don't think I will bother with solar at this stage , where do.you guys install your systems? Any photos appreciated just working out best...

Hi, Recently got our first T6, don't know a huge amount about electrics and didn't realise the 3-pin sockets only work when on the hook-up (schoolboy, I know). Got the 12V socket working again after changing the fuse but we often camp off-grid and wouldn't mind being able to make a toastie...

Hi, I have a single 3 pin 240v socket in my camper that I want to change to a double. It is a ‘Becker’ and unfortunately they do not do a 2 gang unit. I have purchased another single with a 2 gang frame/surround to go side by side. My query is how to wire it correctly. The existing socket has a...

Hi, I currently have 2 individual 240v 3 pin sockets in my camper. I would like to replace one of them with a double socket. Is this possible? I know it’s straightforward in a domestic property but in the van?

This might be the silliest question today - apologies. I want to add another 240V CBE C-Line mains socket in the back of my van (obviously fed power from the EHU). There are currently two of them in what I would call a 'daisy chain' (ie. wire for the second are coming out of the back of the...

I am just about to install a Victron Multiplus 12/500/20 500VA inverter charger under my drivers seat and have been provided with a kit from a supplier that includes 2 consumer units, 1 for the incoming supply between the EHU and the Multiplus, and 1 for the outgoing supply between the Multiplus...

Hey, I’m currently installing 240v electrics in my van and I’ve earthed the consumer unit to the van itself. Just want to make 100% sure this has been done correctly and it’s safe. I’ve attached a picture. Can anyone help? Cheers John

Evening all, I am looking at 240v power options for the van, and rather than a traditional split charge/leisure battery, I have been looking at removable batteries like the Ecoflow Delta / Goal Zero Yeti 1000x. I'm a photographer so having power I can take out of the van on shoots would be...

So, my 3-pin plug socket is not working in my campervan (it's a t6 conversion as you'd imagine!). I've done all the usual checks:- 1. Used multiple power sources (house and the campsite I noticed it wasn't working on) - pretty sure I get power as the battery indicated goes to 13.5+ which only...

I have a T6 semi converted. I have two 12v 6amp points at the rear of the passenger seats base. They both work fine. I have two corresponding 3 point plug sockets on the base of the drivers seat - they however do not seem to be working. I’m new to the camper scene - will the plugs only work if...

Hi All, I've been wondering if it's possible or if anyone has done it. I would like a 240v socket outside of the van but attached someware so that I can keep power onto the coolbox. Already have a fridge inside, coolbox is for extra storage. Can you have a splitter from the main cable for the...

Hi, I wondered if there was a safe way to fit some kind of relay to a fridge (Dometic CRX50) that automatically switches the power from 12v to 230v for the fridge when on hookup. Its easy enough to run both the 12v cable and the 230v cable to the fridge but I need the missing piece please...

Hey all, I wanted to ask the hive mind for your opinions on section 721 of BS7671 and a 240V supply to the van. Essentially, I want to have inverter supply and EHU for powering sockets. My intention is to use auto changeover to power from EHU when present and inverter (fed from leisure...

Hey - was hoping somebody could offer some advice as to best way to wire up sockets from the consumer unit? Consumer unit is under the driver seat and I will have a single socket at base of passenger B-pillar, then 2 on driver side near C-pillar and at rear of van near the tail gate. Is it...
