hi @Rhyswxm ( thank you @Howzat for the mention )

" what else is need to be able to have a 3 pin socket and some ubs in the back of the van?" - this will depend on what you plan to plug into the 3pin 240vac socket.

USB outlets are normally 12v, so see more on fitting them here:

3pin sockets for mains are more involved, do plan on Hooking up/EHU when parked up onsite . . ?

or did you want 240v power when off grid and mobile . . ?

if its mobile, then you need an inverter as mentioned above.

you can pull 100w/150w via an inverter form the 12v socket upfront for small 240v items like smaller chargers and say a laptop charger.

anything larger, over 150W, like 300w/500w/1000w etc need to be hard wired.

as a reugh calculation, every 100W will draw 10A from the 12v side.

so a 1000W inverter will need 100A or more on a full load . . . . so think carfully what you plan to plug into the 3pin.

have a look at some small inverters here:
