What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Dav-Tec]

So after a nice tootle back home and getting the settings right I am WELL impressed with the sound over standard. The punch on bass is 100% better. Mids and treble is improved. I'm no audiophile but the wife has a Bose system in her car and it easily sounds as good as that. The sound deadening package is a bit of a revelation too. So much quieter driving down the motorway. Turned the radio off and it was car like. Very happy with the cost and the work that goes into it has to be seen. Layers of sound deadening dodo mats. On the doors themselves, the door skins and the inner panels. You can see why so much noise is lost. And now I can definitely say 'they shut like a Golf!'. I will try and get some audio but I doubt it will capture the massive difference these make.Thanks @Dav-Tec once again you've knocked it out of the park mate.

Glad you're happy mate, bang for buck these are easily the best plug and play system on the market.

Sound deadening done properly is key. This stick some silver anti-vibe mate on a few places and called it deadened is nonsense. Do it once and do it right I say.

Do you get more mpg too

Not really but it’s way faster now

Last mod for a while (honest!), fitted a set of T6.1 style LED rear lights to replace my T6 LED rears.

They look great! Could you post a pic of these without lights on? I can't decide on which ones to go for out of the three options (red, red smoke, smoke)!

I had test fitted this ages ago however got round to properly wiring it up so it works same as one on the front.

Not everyone’s cup of tea however it’s mine

Added WiFi to the van, with an ethernet connection for my Cerbo GX. USB powered 4G router, and 50GB of data for £8 a month courtesy of Smarty.



Temporary location until I build a high level cupboard where I'll mount it permanently.

Out with the plasticote for a test to see how they look as I’ve an extra set if I don’t like them .
I think I like them a lot.

Half a set of roof prep bars on as well I didn’t order enough bolts as LWB needs two more than swb and I’d already got to this point and so couldn’t pop out to get some SS from Screwfix.

Oil is holding the end down where there is no hole in the roof and I didn’t intend to drill one.

Interesting experiment. The Alpine subwoofer is ok but i had to turn the gain up quite a bit in order to give it presence despite configuring it as a 2ohm load to feed it max power.

So for £20 i created a new plywood enclosure but this time upward firing and the result more presence for less gain. Swapped out mdf carpeted enclosure and rehoused the 8inch dual sub in the 18mm ply with a dodo lining. Happy chappy

played around with it and switched to 4ohm serial to allow more latitude on the gain. A less aggressive base. More happy

What’s the make/model of the router please and how does it differ from one of these?

It's one of these

Main difference is that I needed an ethernet port so I could connect my Victron Cerbo GX via ethernet as the WiFi on it is very unreliable.

Fitted a 22” LG TV with Apple TV attached to the back.

 

[Paul Greathead]

Another small mod done

 

[Richard85]

Solar installed! Left it too late to see if it works though. P*ssed it down. Put the mppt under the passenger seat and used 6mm2 cable - hopefully should minimise any loss for not being next to the battery.

Installed with no roof drilling too.



Edit*

Also fit a fire extinguisher. Just in case.

Our van is lowered too, care of that nice chap Steve at CRS. We’re on 17” Devonports. Maybe it is just big wheels and skinny tyres?

Mine wobbles and I’m on standard suspension and 17s
