Yes it’s very straightforward. I’ve connected the power wire to my leisure battery via a fuse. The earth I’ve taken to a ground point. I cut the huge cables back to as short as I needed them and put new connectors on them. I’ve fixed the 800w charger to the back of the drivers seat base. It...

@The Flying Scotsman Is the alternator charger as simple as they say, just connect the positive to the battery and an earth Did you put it on the main van battery or on the leisure battery connections We’re did you place the box in the van and route the cable Thanks

I honestly have had no issue with the screen brightness or sound quality. Not to sound like a dick, but presumably you did change the screen brightness settings? I haven't been able to detect any change in the sound over the OEM. If anything, it has a bit more depth. The heat would worry me...

Do you have a link for this specific unit pls? That's almost my budget so I'd be tempted to take the plunge come payday.

So I've been on the fence for a while now about what I wanted to do as my OEM screen is failing. Have has some quotes to upgrade to a Kenwood system etc. I've been very close to paying the money and getting it done but always held of as all I really want is a standard wireless Android auto...

Hello all, Complete beginner here. I recently started converting my 2012 T5.1 SWB Highline into a camper. I’ve started at the front so the van is ripped to bits all summer and we can use it as a day van. Realistically still have no idea how we will end up using the van or what our final layout...

Following on from several things in this here forum, specifically @roadtripper 's excellent how-to here:- www.t6forum.com/threads/trailer-socket-12v-ehu-how-I've-done-it.45009 and my own findings regarding the behaviour of the trailer socket electrics etc here:-...

Hi @wombatom I recently bought the same van variant and have already completed 4 out of the 5 upgrades you're considering. Here's a quick rundown of my experience — hope it helps: I self installed the Alpine Halo 9 head unit, supplied by @Absolut5, who was incredibly helpful with advice. It's...

Hi all We are having a T6.1 T30 150PS Highline tailgate panelvan professionally converted (camper with kitchen) soon. We are considering having some original VW and/or third party retrofit options added, by other parties, either before or after conversion. Q. Which of the following are...

Here's how I laid the 6mm2 solar cables from the van to the pop top. I used 20mm flexible non-split conduit where the cable comes through the top of the light cluster held on to the bodywork with cable tie holders. I replaced the crap double sided tape on the holders with some proper foam tape...

Yeah I did the latter Chris. Drilled through to the pop top to the interior, close to the rear edge. Then working from the upstairs bed in the pop top I drilled another hole through the roof. Then glued a flexible Renogy 200w panel onto some corrugated poli carb sheeting which I glued to the pop...

In terms of cable routing for the panel, I'm coming through the grommet for the offside rear light cluster wiring. I created a small hole and put both cables through. Then I used black polyurethane sealant to make a good seal. I find any poly stuff which sets quite firm will be fine. Usually the...

Thanks for this - yet more to deliberate over. I’d prefer to have whatever components permanently fitted for reduced hassle and think the individual sizes of a traditional set-up would work out smaller and easier to install. But, all current set-ups I’ve seen is Victron components neatly laid...

Seems like such a little thing having a red 16mm and a H07RN cable (EHU) sticking out from here but routing these cables was a job I was dreading. Not in any way complete. Need to drill for two glands in the hatch under the bonnet still... but progress!

Hi all I can say is off my experience really as I needed to wire a led swamper light at the front in the bulk head you will see a rubber boot that goes inside the van I took out the vent on the passenger side and routed the wires with a relay and switch to the battery on its own fuse , my wiring...

All good after a year. Film and panel are exactly as they were when first fitted. The van lives outside so it has seen snow, ice, rain and some very hot sun with no issues. It’s also been exposed to some very strong winds plus prolonged high speed driving. The panel is a Renogy 200W flexible...

@ginkster Good writeup - a year on, how is the panel holding to the wrap? I've got a Reimo roof and am looking to put a 200+W panel on it. Probably would prefer rigid so it is easily removable but am a bit worried about the weight. So considering a flexible instead. What you have done here...

I’ve done the installation myself, so I never received a quote and don’t really have anything to compare it to. If that price is for labour only, it does sound a little on the high side. But if it includes the cables, brackets, and a charge controller, then it’s probably about right. That...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I'm torn about sealing the front edge or not. If you do, thee cant be much airflow to cool, especially of pop top is up. On the plus side maybe less stuff will get in. ALthough I just thonght if park nose downhill it could get in from the rear. Hmmm I...

Suppose I'm thinking that by sealing the leading edge, they're shouldn't be too much stuff gets in there that will stick around. Even with pop top up, anything that does get in should run out with gravity as it'll be slanted downwards. I ended up going with a similar route (I think) to @Deaky...
