Hi I've a T6.1 panel van arriving in March and I'll be managing the conversion and may do the wiring myself. Rather than just asking 'how do I wire it?' I've trawled though the goldmine of information on here and come up with a wiring plan. I would very much appreciate your view on this...

I have a Webasto heater in my converted camper and was wondering whether there is a remote control option available so that the camper can be pre-warmed on a cold morning? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
