    T6 Camper Conversion Electrical Setup – Sense Check Before I Start

    Hi all, Starting to plan out the electrical system for my T6 LWB camper conversion and wanted to sense check the layout before I start ordering everything. I’ve attached a rough visual diagram of the planned setup. I’m trying to keep it fairly clean and OEM style rather than loads of...

    Hello from texas

    Hi Tex, Yeah, it looks like something went pretty wrong dimensioning and installing all that circuit. As someone said already, wire size vs fuse size and maybe vs something else like load (i.e. dc/dc charger) size. Also minimal clearance and cooling requirements must be taken in account and...

    Is there a handy hole behind the light to run the wires through?

    Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Location

    So T6.1 then - Indeed - fuse box C - in the cabin - fuse SC40 (10 A). Anyways, the fuse feeds also the following below so if any of them works then fuse is ok. Mirror adjustment switch -E43- Headlight range control regulator -E102- Rear fresh air blower switch -E179- Centre switch module in...

    ...the kitchen furniture. In my installation I included a 20A fuse in this cable as shown in the picture below (prior to the spade connector being attached to the CBE fuse panel). The connector remains live when the engine is running. It is not switched by the engine run relay. Hope that helps.

    Wiring in a phone charger

    Hi On my T6.1 fuse panel in the drivers foot well, can I use any of the free highlighted slots to have a 5amp supply to a phone charger. I think if what I have read elsewhere these slots are only live when the ignition is on. There is no map of these Fuses on the cover so have no idea what any...

    Camping battery setup - change from default setup

    ...to figure out the best path forward: Just replace the AGM 1:1 (~200 €) – factory system untouched Replace AGM + add proper consumer side (fuse panel, USB-C PD, LEDs) – camping loads on the seat battery Replace AGM under seat directly with LiFePO4 100Ah + DC-DC charger instead of split-charge...

    Sound advice, thank you all. I probably won’t be starting this for a few months yet as I want to assess the efficiency of the solar panel/controller that is already fitted. If it’s ok it may last this year.

    ...provided the actual fusible link is of good quality, as it will protect the cable. Other Birchover owners on this forum have used the fuse panel feed as I have done, largely because making the connection just involves sliding a spade connector onto the existing piggyback connector. I also...

    I like that idea, seems much cooler and ventilated down there. Isolator - presume this is from the solar panel to the MPPT, and is this necessary or your preference? The +V connector out of the MPPT, this goes to the fuse block, on mine it goes to the 12v socket, Presume its ok to leave that...

    ...to the rear of the 230V sockets, I found it a fairly straightforward to fit solar. I fitted a 20A fuse between the controller and the fuse panel input (shown before connection in the last picture) and a 2-pole isolator in the solar feed (between the consumer unit and heater switch in last...

    They may have used the 12v socket as it is isolated when the engine is running. You don't want the vehicle alternator competing with the DC-DC charger to support the battery. I believe that Hillside connect their solar panels DC-DC charger to the EHU battery charger, i don't have one on my van...

    CTEK D250SE IGN feed issues + possible failing starter battery on T6.1

    ...just a failing starter battery causing all the weird behaviour? - Has anyone found a reliable ignition‑only feed on the T6.1 interior fuse panel? - Do VW dealers replace the starter battery under warranty if it’s failing? - And will they refuse to touch anything related to the CTEK...

    [Guide] Renogy IP67 50A DC-DC Charger + MPPT (for leisure battery) -- How We Done It --

    Cheers for the feedback Frosty, Right you are, cavalier yes...there is no more 80A fuse so current to MPPT charger is open to whatever it can handle (max 50A i'm assuming...open to further commentry)...I reckon 60A inline fuse for now and as you suggest, throttle the SB charging parameters back...

    Using a power bank for led lighting

    This is exactly what I’m looking to do, literally need a Ecoflow to power a fridge and charge devices. I am looking at the alternator charger. Regarding hook up, I often use a the same consumer unit above plug into site and run fridge outside in my event shelter/base tent for the trip on longer...

    Lithium LifePo4 12v Batteries - Time For An Upgrade?

    Yes...I put one on the solar panels input, belt and braces. :thumbsup: Didn't put one on the B2B input from the starter battery but realistically that might make sense so you can work on your system, mine just has the original VW fuse under the seat. Just re-read your post and yes I've got a...

    Need ideas for Consumer Unit location in tambour unit.

    It looks very much like my set up with the tambour cupboard and the most useful void underneath around the wheel arch. That void houses my 230Ah upright Roamer LB and a 2000watt inverter. My CU is against the left hand side of the void with my mppt by the side of that. The heavy ply floor of...

    Need ideas for Consumer Unit location in tambour unit.

    Hi collective wisdom, I need some ideas / input on where to locate my consumer unit and 12v DC fuse panel. I have a mass of cables coiled up behind the rear quarter panel giving me some flexibility on where I locate the CU and 12v fuse board. I had initially thought about the lower cupboard by...
