ehu

My van is new to me and I had the first off grid trip away last weekend with no issues. When I got home I plugged the EHU in to charge the leisure battery. The EHU is located under the bonnet so I plugged it in, lowered the bonnet but didn’t close it all the way for fear of damaging the cable...

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 ??

Hi All, I’m after some advice regarding the electrical set up on my T28. In the main the van will most likely be on sites with an electric hook up, with the odd few days being remote. The question is I see many vans with leisure batteries with inverters and all sorts of wiring and others using...

Hello new owner of a new t6 conversion first time away & first time plugging into the site mains & it tripped their power. The rcd inside the van doesn’t trip just the sites power point. Tried a New cable & same thing happened. Everything in the can seems to work & tested fine. Any idea on what...

Hello, We 've got a T6 Beach on a 2017 plate and am having issues with the leisure battery not charging, the RCD in the boot of the van trips instantly and I suspect the factory fit VW charger is to blame, seeing as the charger is hidden behind the trim I'd like to have a suitable replacement...

Just received my 230v kit and received 1.5 metres of 2.5 3 core cable but I want to run the inlet from under the bonnet through the cab and to the consumer unit attached to the back of my units. Obviously 1.5 meters isn’t going to be long enough to do that, which is fine as I can get a longer...

My Sargent EC155 isn't charging the Fogstar Lithium battery. I've checked the 15amp charger fuse on the Sargent and all the switches are up on the breaker. Read another post on here that says probably easier to install a direct charge solution as, the charger function of the Sargent is...

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...

Is there anywhere at the rear to run cables into the back of the van from the rear, into the drivers rear quarter panel ? Re-converting our van and at some point someone has ran some cables up through the gas vent near the rear wheel arch where the gas cupboard was. We are going induction...

I have just removed my full EHU set up including Victron IP65 15a 12v charger. Only removed as I have since added an additional battery solar and inverter for off grid use so no longer need. This was all built to be hidden under the bonnet for invisible hook up. Full kit includes Wylex IP65...

The grill is a DIY solution I made a while ago but never fitted as I bought an ABT grill. Details of V1 build are here https://www.t6forum.com/threads/replacement-grille-with-built-in-230v-socket.11077/page-5#post-306064 I’m looking for £100 ONO

Wondering if this is adequate for the purpose. To be fitted inline at the bonnet end of the EHU cable I'll be routing from under the bonnet to supply my Victron smart charger and onwards to a double wall socket...

Parked up on site yesterday. Plugged in but no power in the van at all, tried my spare cable and still nothing. The unit on the power pole was on and counting, the test function tripped the unit no problem. I tried the neighbouring power points as the site was empty.. still nothing. Was too...

Can anybody recommend a RCD which will not trip in the event of a power cut or do they all do it as that’s what they're supposed to do? I’ve currently got an of the shelf kit with the socket end outside (obvs) to feed power to the van EHU (and battery charger via a 240v socket) or battery...

15m mains hook up kit new never used and not needed now. £30 collected or can ship at cost.

Hi all, got to head down to Devon tomorrow on some family business and for the first time I will stopping on a camping site overnight in my camper van. Im a campervan virgin when it comes to using camp sites and was surprised to see that if I wanted to use the electrical hook up supplied to the...

Hi folks, about to do the above and not an electrician. I have been looking at some tutorial vids on U Tube which has only left me more confused. In the vids some people run an earth cable from the metal casing of the consumer unit to a metal earthing point on the van body or chassis - but some...

Hi When I installed my leisure battery I fitted a CTEK D250SE which works perfectly. But now I want to also install an electric hook up, I am okay with getting the mains power in to the van but am unsure how to set this up to keep my leisure battery topped up. My questions are these, is there 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...
