    Top tip for running cable

    I use this thin bendy rod thing to thread cable (this time for my roof mounted light bar) so I don't have to pull so much of the van apart. I've no idea if this is normal behaviour, but there you have it!

    I can't find a hole

    Good evening, I want to run power from my inverter, located under the drivers seat, to a socket I've installed in a panel in the back. I'd hoped, once I got the b pillar plastic off, that there'd be an obvious route to the channel under the matting. Am I OK to make that small hole bigger that's...

    Hi all I have already purchased a 50a dc to dc charger and 100ah lithium battery from renogy. I am taking the seats out this weekend, to remove the bulk head plates. I thought I might run the cabling from the battery. I don't intend to do all my own electrics but I could place to cabling...

    Can I use a distance of 1.82m (6 feet) 16mm2 cabling between a Victron 30a DC charger and a lifep04 leisure battery without issues or must it be a shorter distance between the two. (I know it should be as close as possible but not sure if their is a maximum distance?).

    Engine bay cable route through bulkhead/firewall to cabin

    I'm looking to run a cable from the main battery into the cabin. Anyone know if there is an easy route through, maybe using an existing path, or do I have to think about drilling a new hole in the engine bay bulkhead (gulp). Any advice much appreciated.

    A cautionary tale about Ecoflow products

    Just seen this video by Gadget John on YouTube where he found a very dangerously jointed cable on an Ecoflow supply lead. Could have caused a fire if he hadn't found it, and judging by the fact that the cables are covered in sheathing from the factory, no-one would have had the chance to spot it.

    Solar cable to link MPPT to battery

    I have a surplus of solar cable left over from when I fitted my panel a while back. I’m now in the process of installing a separate solar charge controller and making the ctek solar charger redundant (due to solar panel being too big VoC). Is there any issue using solar cable to link the solar...
