Yes the carpeted, high level, small shelf at the rear - the back panel of this is held in with a couple of screws- take this out and there is a small void behind.
I'm trying to find an old photo but assume Hillside either used one of the existing cable entries in that area, i.e. void behind panel in wardrobe shown above, or drilled a new one.
One of my picture from the thread linked above shows the cable from where it comes inside the velcro, going through a hole into the void behind the rear central shelf (where I have the shading diode). From here it's is simply routed behind the cabinets to the void behind the panel in the wardrobe.
I also have a standalone shading/bypass diode in the mix (rear cable entry on the panel so no room on the actual panel?) - this is installed between the panel and controller - Hillside put this behind the rear central shelf.
Original Hillside install inside the wardbrobe
Replacement outside - it is a bit ugly but does the job and I'm much happier with it not getting so hot.
Hillside originally installed mine in the rear wardrobe but I was never happy with it there as it always seemed very warm. When my first panel failed a few years ago I went for an MPPT controller and installed it on the outside of the wardrobe instead - it uses the original cabling that...
Guessing that is your choice as, with them already well on the way with the conversion, I would expect it to be ready within another week or so? It's a few years ago but, they managed to turn my van (delayed but nothing like the wait you have had) around within about 2 weeks of it arriving with...
External thermal screens (Rainbow for us) and wind deflectors - we open our front windows a couple of inches behind the screens and the wind deflectors ensure the screens don't block the gap. We also use a thermal screen on the rear window; 3 of us plus 2 dogs and, even in very wet autumnal and...
There is a switch on the main panel for 12v (ours glows red when on and the ignition is on) whilst driving and another in the cupboard nearest the back for 240v - you will see a orange glow from this when you open the cupboard
Somewhere along the line I've managed to subscribe to this new digital magazine - possibly via one of the competitions Jo enters from time to time :).
For a freebie, it's actually quite a good read and worth a look for anything camping/touring related - Touring Magazine | Motorhomes, Caravans...
Mine was a 2014 110 XS - top spec at the time but it was registered as a commercial vehicle - benefited from the lower road fund licence at the time but gave me the lower speed limits. Sadly I traded it in for a Discovery Sport a couple of years ago - love the Disco but wish I still had my...
@czmate1999 I can't comment on whether the Ghost is responsible or not but I'm not sure you putting into service mode would prove anything either way, i.e. the Ghost will still be connecting in the same way and waiting for the van to be driven outside of parameters (30mph+ for extended period...
