What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[DubHaus]

Managed to cut the holes for the vanity lights in the headliner and test fitted ok

I started to fit my oriental diesel heater this afternoon, got the van front up on axle stands and levelling ramp, removed the plastic side under tray installed 6mm rivnuts and bolted the stainless steel plate up to chassis and mounted the heater. I bought the Eberspächer mounting plate and I had to elongate the bolt holes to marry up to my oriental heaters mounting threads. I have plenty of time so I’m not rushing the install will be doing it as and when the weather permits.

Washed and waxed ready for Hastings on Saturday its campers and coffee meet up in the car park on the seafront anyone else going if so maybe see you there 10am start

Damn, was hoping to make the next one of these but not sure I can make it. (Was it advertised on the events page? Sorry if I missed it!)

We enjoyed the summer one, so hope this one goes well despite the cold weather.

My Lazers don't have these, but reading through a generic wiring instructions, the ones that come with the position lights have an additional wire in the loom that connects to the side light circuit.

You'll see them fitted to trucks that have the position lights connected. That looks fine on a Scania S720, but personally I think it's a bit too much on a van.

I hear what your saying dubber36..
we needed the extra light and visibility, im guessing otherwise its really is down to personal preference..
Love my Scania/VW hybrid .

Full leather retrim care of the great team at Seat Surgeons. Even upgraded the steering wheel whilst there, would have been rude not to....

Stayed over for the night in York with the wife for a bit of Christmas shopping and mulled wine.

Which one did you get and where does it show the feed?

I got an Auto Vox one off Amazon on Black Friday. Comes with a monitor that you plug into the 12v.

It has a window suction disc but I’d quite like to mount it where the 12v supply is

Hopefully the above pics help in routing of cables and how to take apart should you decide to do it

You read my mind ahaha! Thank you

The most difficult part is routing the cable through the flexible rubber hose on the door swing. The light cluster is only held in with 2 screws and behind there is the loom you wire into for the reverse light and earth
