I chatted to PFJones and their own kit is much easier to install than the westfalia. Fewer connections to make and under seat fuse box not involved / needed. The aux power (for fridges in caravans) adds complexity as its an ignition switched live - with westfalia this is a second wiring kit. Not...
So I have read through @Pauly uploads of various fuse box and earthing point diagrams but as a novice I'm still struggling. Really want to hardwire a dash cam in rather than have it plugged into the cigarette sockets as these are always live right?
So I was going to pull the cable down the A...
A change of direction, due to a change in how I use the van…
Removed the EcoFlow Delta (this is now for sale in classifieds)
Removed changeover switch from solar to ignitionlive
Removed rear speaker footboard and back board around the base of the Kombi bench
Disconnected rear 13a 3 pin...

Which relay do you mean? Do you mean the DC-DC charger?
Normally a DC-DC charger is wired directly and is set to either charge when it sees a high voltage on the starter (sometimes called "auto VSR" or "engine run detection") or it has a signal line from ignitionlive (or BCM)
Sometimes it...
I know it has been asked before but I just want to be completely sure before I run new wires. 2019 Kombi with pretty standard unmolested electrics. Is there definitely not an ignition switched liveunder either the driver or passenger seat? Doesn't need to be high capacity as I only need it to...
You do not connect the camera to the reverse wire. Run the power for camera upto a ignitionlive or to the red wire on back of the alpine .
this will give you the option of rear view when driving as well as reverse ..
Hi, I love this Forum and it has been a wealth of information for me since getting my van. After a lot of reading over the last few days I think I have over filled my AdBlue but would be interested in your thoughts and to sanity check my thinking.
I've owned the Van (2018 T30 SWB Kombi 150...
#1: depends on dc-dc charger max charging current. OEM cable is 10mm^2 so you should plan and fuse based on that, not 16mm piece of run.
#2: doesn’t really matter. Signal wire to dc-dc charger will not carry almost any current so it can be literally anything. I would use what I had pre-existing...
@Dellmassive I’ve already wired an ignitionlive to override the engine detection software. The issue is with the voltage lockout on the Orion which is active regardless of the engine detection status. What happens is, the Orion starts pulling 20ish amps off the starter battery but without the...
That picture allays any fears! I cannot seem to find those bolt in fuses. I live near a company called Multicell who sell batteries - they also make up heavy duty battery cables with proper crimped ends.
Just need to work out what equipment to fit under the seat - mix of perm live and ignition...
IgnitionLiveUnder Passenger Seat - How its done -
This question pops up fairly often so i thought i would look at it a bit closer. . . . .
If your van was factory fitted with the AUX battery under the seat, then your sorted. There is already a feed under there . . . . =]
BUT what if your...
I know I will ultimately replace the factory supplied auxiliary AGM battery with a LiFePO4 battery. Initially though I will keep the AGM type until it actually dies or my power requirements (a couple of days off-grid) change significantly. That’ll keep the costs down a bit. Working out my power...
Help Please... 'engine run' feed?
Probably wrong place to ask, (sorry), but newbie here. I have a 2018 T6 Panel van, trying to fit an Schaudt WA 121525 B to B charger ... Schaudt have told me directly that I must have an 'engine run' feed. Tested the rear of main light switch - there are NO...
Hi Dell,
Spot on, Dcdc charger is the way to go so I'm into but have 1 question.
What is the output from the alternator on 2016 T6?
I need to size the cable from the alternator/starter battery to my 30A dcdc charger. Mine is at the back of the van so around a 7m cable run which will be under...
