The Basics - T6.1 transporter - OEM battery to 240v

[TransporterT6.1]

Hi All,

I am needing some help, to set up a T6.1 Transporter van to power equipment such as an electric bed. Its electrical specifications are as follows. (also a laptop)

Description Value
Supply voltage 100 – 240V
Supply frequency 50/60Hz
Maximum supply current 3.9 Amps
Degree of protection against
liquid ingress
IPX6
Degree of protection against
electrical shock
Class II Double Insulated

This will be used for work, the bed wont be used for extended periods of time, maybe a few seconds here and there. When required though I may use a fridge, a fan or something else, so the setup will need to be able to take those kinds of loads.

Currently, the van has an OEM installed setup, as per the photos. In your responces, please remember I have limited electrical knowledge. You could say I am electrically challenged. However I do have a degree of practicality, so am not afraid to tackle something a bit more difficult. However, I would like to keep costs down.

I would like to know:

1. do I need a DC - DC charger? if so, what Watt rating?
2. What components do i require?
3. Is there anything I should be aware of prior to committing to this?

Thanks all!

You have the factory second battery with a split charge relay, if you swap to a dc-dc charger it will give you a more complete charge on that battery.
You will then need an inverter (1000w) to provide the 240vac.
