The AMT ks more fit and forget, so long as your leisure battery is also recieving charge from solar/EHU For me I like the challenge of making it work and also, for now, I'm keeping the van pretty much stock and I had almost all the bits to hand. With where I park tailgate on to the garage it's...

I really like this. Much preferred set up compared to drilling into the van body.

Yes, mine works well. Do you have a power-opening/power closing tailgate, then? I don’t, so my answer may be useless to you

In the next few weeks I will be travelling from the North West to the Lot et Garonne region (France) for a 2 week holiday in a villa . 2 adults 2 kids and 2 big 45-50Kg dogs . in a 68 plate LWB T6 Kombi with an Exploria bed acting as a large parcel shelf. We will we stopping regular but...

If anyone has the misfortune to have a failed solar panel and need to remove it from the roof .. I used a multi tool with a fine tooth blade which very quickly cut the sikaflex between the panel and the roof with no damage to the roof , as on my install I bonded the panel on the side edges and...

Partially disassembled it... Oh and while I was there, started on the job of routing wiring through the roof for extra lights, leisure battery monitor, and solar cables. 6mm solar cables routed through the tailgate wiring boot, once I could find the hole into the main headlining area...

Any photos of this please? Much appreciated

Hi everyone, Unfortunately the time has come to sell our much loved camper which was converted by myself in 2021 - a growing family is forcing the sale. I'm not in a major rush just yet and I was wondering whether it would be worth waiting until after the winter when the market is more buoyant...

Do you have barn doors or a tailgate? If barn doors, you can use the tailgate mount holes to get panel cables into the van. MPPT Vs PWM is definitely worth it, they're about 30% more efficient. https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/news/pwm-vs-mppt-solar-controllers.html A 100w panel, in bright sun...

On barn door versions, there are grommets covering the tailgate fixing points.

@Richard85 I tried those self adhesive cable tie pads on the painted body under my vans tail lights to secure some water tank vent tubes. Even with a thorough cleaning they don’t stay stuck for long. You may have to find a different way to secure the conduit.

I think getting it wrapped is the long term solution. Some day I’ll need to replace the solar panel and so probably do it then I guess. I’m hoping that not going to be for a few years yet

Here are some images of our Stealth B2 down and up, and general shot of the van with it down. It's most noticeable at the back, so I've ordered a Sportline style spoiler for the tailgate, which will finish off the lines at the rear much better, and make it even more less obvious. There's a solar...

How much?

T6.1, do not want to drill any holes in the roof. I see a few rubber gaskets along the rain gutter above the barn doors (where a tailgate would hinge I guess). These look ideal for cable routing from inside to the roof racks above for lighting, solar panel etc.. Is that what these gaskets are...

Tempted to get the roof painted or wrapped silver to match the van? I've cut mine back and polished again with carnauba wax but realistically at some point the gel coat will go threadbare and chopped mat strands will start to show. Our camper is chestnut brown but I did respray the tailgate...

The panel is waterproof. I sealed the front edge to avoid it lifting, and the back edge is open. For barn doors, you can go in through the blank for the tailgate hinge. My cable run is at this link, and there are lots of other options on this thread...

Yes - I removed the ramp and left the dropped floor in place, I insulated it and installed 2 leisure batteries, solar controller, smart split charge unit, isolator switches for the charger, isolator and cut off for the solar, every circuit fused and trip switches fitted, last part left to do is...
