    Portable solar panels and running a cable into a locked vehicle to charge a Bluetti?

    ...could do my own leisure battery install for much less but I’m too scared to get it wrong 😂😂 I was having a nosey under the glove box to see if I could find the other side of the grommet in the plenum space, and I found a plastic cap, is that the other side or is that just holding the carpet...

    Portable solar panels and running a cable into a locked vehicle to charge a Bluetti?

    Easy squeezy, you don't need a big thick wire unless you have masses of huge solar panels. My panel is only 120w so max amperage of 7 or 8 or so. Edit: think I used 30amp ...

    Portable solar panels and running a cable into a locked vehicle to charge a Bluetti?

    This was my main consideration. I just wasn’t sure the grommet would accommodate two cables. I was thinking about putting a short cable in there permanently so I can connect the bluetti inside and the panels outside.

    Portable solar panels and running a cable into a locked vehicle to charge a Bluetti?

    Mine goes through the grommet in the plenum chamber behind the battery with Anderson connectors, then panel wires up the front of the van (outside) to the panel which sits on the roof (sometimes).

    VW T5 Solar Panel Fitting

    You really have two options. Make an extra hole in the grommet for the light wiring loom. I decided against this as I thought it would be difficult so seal and might split over time. Or to drill two additional holes, one for each cable. I chose this option and used a grommet and silicone...

    Ecoflow Alternator Charger 800W

    This should work well. I've got the 800w charger connected to a delta 2. I run mainly the interiors cargo lights( led bulbs )and sometimes the radio using maintenance mode. Although the battery seems to handle the led light anyway without maintenance mode. Charger sometimes dips below 800w...

    Liquid around injector seals

    ...refit, I also had some gunk building around the seals on injector#1 : - new copper seals - new o-rings - new rocker cover seals - new bolt grommets - new stretch bolts. I found injector #3 had carbon around it and the copper washer stayed in the bore so explained the misfire. I remove the...

    Routing for solar suitcase?

    Hi @jimc91 - appreciate this post of yours was a while ago, but I stumbled upon it and would like to follow the same approach for some portable solar suitcase panels that I attach to my barn door T6. It’s a very neat solution. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you use for the connections...

    Question regarding powering an amp

    There's probably aready a grommet with wiring going through the scuttle up top from the battery. That's what I used to feed the DC charging feed from SB to LB inside.

    Reimo Variotech 3000 bed rattling

    Thanks @Niro for this excellent post which gave me the confidence to tackle my rattling Reimo!

    Tailgate lock actuator

    Once you get the whole actuator out attached to the handle and refitted the new actuator did you put sealant around the door handle when you reinstalled it or can you get a new seal to go on there. Looking to change my actuator so have not removed it yet. The door has the usual water leak coming...

    Engine bay cable route through bulkhead/firewall to cabin

    On my 6.1 theres a banking grommet on the bulkhead beneath the pedals. Peeling back the top edge of the carpet reveals it. Very handy and easy to access.
