What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Not today, but made a start on my leisure battery/charger set up.
Currently only running a usb charging point and a fridge. Cant beat a nice cold drink when the sun comes out:cool:

Blimey! You done well to fit all that under there! Is that drivers seat or passenger? Started mine today, battery only just fits! What have you mounted the socket and fuse board to? And where are you placing your switches etc? I’m trying to put my fuse board at the back of the van so I only have to run 2 cables from drivers seat to rear corner (240v and 12v from the fuse board to the LB)

Its a bit tight! :laugh:
Its all under the passenger seat. leaving driver seat free for inverter and diesel heater, hopefully.
12v fuse-board and 230v socket are bolted to the side of the seat base. Both Ctek units are mounted on Perspex bolted to the base.
My 230v DB will be mounted at the rear of the van, in a custom made enclosure, which I am making up as I go along.:rofl:
I have run 2 cables from the rear to the passenger seat, 1 for 230v hook up to the charger and 1 going the other way for an inverter socket in the rear,
the inverter cable is currently not connected and tucked down the side of the battery.

Ghost immobiliser installed. I would post a photo but there is nothing to see. I’m sure it is worth it for piece of mind but not the most impactful £400 spent on the van!

@Katoof Loving the roof! What make is it?

It’s a Westdubs roof!
We’ve just started to look at secure options for the van- the Ghost seems to have great reviews !!
 
Re fitted the front splitter after re spraying it deep black ( with rattle cans ) not perfect by any means , it will do till next year when I’ll get it done professionally, also fitted the lower splitter, the jury is out on that one to be honest.
 
Started wiring the electrics up... it is genuinely one of the jobs I hate the most :thumbsdown:
especially with the comfort dash! I maybe doing it wrong, but i ended up having to strip so bloody much of it to get the cable neatly through the same channels as the loom!

Looks familiar! After fitting my tow bar at the weekend I found some time to start the wiring.
EHU, 30A feed wire and a spare 30A feed (capped) for future proofing as there was a spare terminal in the E-box.
I haven't decided which seat to bury it under yet...

Mine will only go under the drivers seat, not sure what options it relates to, but there is a mountain of wiring under the passenger seat, so no chance anything like battery is going under there, just the inverter

I only have a couple of small relays under the passenger seat so loads of room on both sides. I need to power the tow bar so will need a 12v feed under the passenger seat anyway (I didn't like the wiring to the battery that PFJones supplied). I am not fitting a leisure battery straight away so i may have to change it around once I see how much room it requires.
