    Is this wiring termination safe?

    I’m finishing up my wiring for my T6 conversion and have 25mm^2 wire for my Orion XS 12 | 12 50A. Its a really tight squeeze and in the end I’ve had to snip a few frayed strands where they just wouldn't go into the terminal. Does this look safe? Obviously I want my wiring to be safe but also not...

    Top tip for running cable

    I use this thin bendy rod thing to thread cable (this time for my roof mounted light bar) so I don't have to pull so much of the van apart. I've no idea if this is normal behaviour, but there you have it!

    I can't find a hole

    Good evening, I want to run power from my inverter, located under the drivers seat, to a socket I've installed in a panel in the back. I'd hoped, once I got the b pillar plastic off, that there'd be an obvious route to the channel under the matting. Am I OK to make that small hole bigger that's...

    Engine bay cable route through bulkhead/firewall to cabin

    I'm looking to run a cable from the main battery into the cabin. Anyone know if there is an easy route through, maybe using an existing path, or do I have to think about drilling a new hole in the engine bay bulkhead (gulp). Any advice much appreciated.

    A cautionary tale about Ecoflow products

    Just seen this video by Gadget John on YouTube where he found a very dangerously jointed cable on an Ecoflow supply lead. Could have caused a fire if he hadn't found it, and judging by the fact that the cables are covered in sheathing from the factory, no-one would have had the chance to spot it.
