Fitting the antenna today as it's a beautiful day here (for once, it seems! lol). Decided to go at the rear of the van the end, whats the preferred cable routing to the front.....to the left and forwards, or to the right and forwards? Sliding door only on the left if that makes a difference...

Yep. That’s another recommendation from me for the cable rods. Or use a ‘nylon cable fishing wire’ used to pull cables through conduit. Now I’m damn sure I fished cables down the C pillar as a spare for a usb socket or such like when I did my van wiring two years ago. I’ll have a look at some...

I am going to go the mib2 discover media route. This way my sos module does not need to be replaced.

Thanks guys, did you find 5 metres of cabling was enough to route through and down to the back of the head unit?

Update: Six weeks and a healthy dent in my savings later, we have power! I was determined to keep this install "invisible." In a compact day van, that meant getting creative with the under-seat space. I fabricated custom brackets to fit the entire system—battery, charger, inverter, and consumer...

I am still deciding on whether I want slats or the relief routed hex panels, but these photos look excellent I must admit. I think I am gonna go down the route of having LED spotlights built into roof panel but will run these off the starter battery using the existing wiring. Probably two above...

Yes, but your MCBs add up to a 26A load which is potentially above the rating (depending on route and insulation) of your incoming 2.5mm cable - i.e. you run the risk of the cable blowing first.

I’ve searched and read mention of a cable route in through from the rear behind the bumper using an existing grommet. Does anyone know if the grommet circled in the pic (not my van, just a convenient pic taken from the Forum) provides a cable route through and into the offside rear quarter, or...

In need of a set of swivel bases for my T6 Kombi with two single front seats. Any recommendations? Does the 'offset' swivel offered in the RIB give any real benefit compared to the other options? The main selling points I'm interested in: Minimal height increase. Does not 'rock' under normal...

I drilled through the poptop roof carefully, just inside the canvas, and used a Scanstrut gland, then on the inside, used mc4 fittings, so I can disconnect if needed) leaving the cable enough slack so the roof can open etc, cables then run behind my units to the Mppt under drivers seat. I’ll...

I need to invest in a steel tape puller; my nylon one is great for getting around bends along conduit but bends too much to get any distance unconstrained and goes everywhere except where you want it! My next 2 challenges are getting from the bottom of the A-pillar out to the engine bay and...

Nice work. When installing a rear view camera in my LWB Birchover, I managed to feed a camera cable from the top of the tailgate across into the upper void above the wardrobe and inside the pop-top frame to the top of the B-pillar, across the driver’s door to the A-pillar. I found that route...

Don't you just take the cable guide off the old one and put it on the new (cheap aftermarket) new one?

I've taken the cover off the roller hinge and joy of joys, the version I have is the one the plastic cable guide. I couldn't see that any of the aftermarket parts allowed the cable to be routed in the same way. No guarantee that this is going to resolve the problem, because I am surprised...

If you're interested I will be selling an egrille lite kit, as I bought it and then went the stealth flap route as I fely it would be much easier for me to route a cable to where I wanted it through the rear rather than all the way from the front. DM me if it floats your boat so to speak...

Yeah that's a good point, if the consumer unit is in the vehicle anyway then we may as well put the hookup at the back. The reason why we were considering putting the hook up in the engine is because we thought it would save space if we could get the consumer unit in the engine as well. Will do...

I don't see why not, in terms of cable length it would be similar to a standard hook up point mounted below the rear bumper. Having said that, the engine bay is an obviously more hostile zone both for cable routing and for the hookup itself so you'd have to be pretty careful with the...

Hi all, I have read the many entries on wiring up a leisure battery for a T6. All seem to only go as far as the front seats. I have a multivan and intend leaving in the second row of seats but want to run a cable from the battery to the location where the jack is stored right at the back of the...

Yeah exactly. I need to go into the bulkhead to do pull the heater washer jet wire through soon, so i will just pull some 16mm2 wire through at the same time. Thats really useful thank you, think i will definitely go for 16mm2, found this in here in Germany which looks good, German made.etc...

10mm2 will handle 70A only on a very short run in much the same way as a blade fuse which also has a small cross sectional area CSA. Your house supply uses 25mm2 meter tails to pass the supply from a 100A fuse, you always want to build in a bit of headroom especially if you're hoping to run...
