Is there anywhere at the rear to run cables into the back of the van from the rear, into the drivers rear quarter panel ? Re-converting our van and at some point someone has ran some cables up through the gas vent near the rear wheel arch where the gas cupboard was. We are going induction...

I have just removed my full EHU set up including Victron IP65 15a 12v charger. Only removed as I have since added an additional battery solar and inverter for off grid use so no longer need. This was all built to be hidden under the bonnet for invisible hook up. Full kit includes Wylex IP65...

Hi folks, about to do the above and not an electrician. I have been looking at some tutorial vids on U Tube which has only left me more confused. In the vids some people run an earth cable from the metal casing of the consumer unit to a metal earthing point on the van body or chassis - but some...

Hi When I installed my leisure battery I fitted a CTEK D250SE which works perfectly. But now I want to also install an electric hook up, I am okay with getting the mains power in to the van but am unsure how to set this up to keep my leisure battery topped up. My questions are these, is there a...

Hi all, I've had a little search in the forum but can't find my answer. Is there a secondly grommet other than the one behind the starter battery? I want to put my 240v hook under the bonnet but someone said mention that the 240v should be keep away from the 12v. I already have a 12v cable...

Hi, I am sorry if this is a daft question and I have done a forum search to see if it's been answered before but I couldn't find anything that answers my (probably daft) question. I have had a T6 Camper for 3 years and the leisure battery is basically totally dead now and not holding a charge...

Morning all Completed the 240v in the van. Now it's doing my head in. RCBO fitted. Plug in and all tests fine. 240 at sockets. As soon as I plug anything in it trips. Tested all wiring. No shorts whatsoever. I'm wondering if it's the connection blocks I've used. I have used them before with no...

Evening to the collective. Just a quick question. And yes I have searched Those of you with split charging and EHU under the bonnet, did you use the same hole through the passenger side grommet? I'm about to run my EHU hook up into the drivers side base but wanted to check if there was...

Hi all. I was going to put my leasure battery under the driver seat. That was the plan until I purchased a second lithium battery. Now it looks like all my electrics are going to my rear quarter. But there isn't enough space for a consumer unit... Any thoughts on putting the consumer unit...

Hi all. I have been trying to get sorted with a consumer unit, soo much conflicting advice. So I've established that double pole is a must. Some kits come with a 6a and 10a MCB , however, it's suggested that the 10 should be changed for a 16a. Do I really need two MCBs? A caravan...

I’m after a bit of your collective knowledge & experience to help me decide my options for electric hook up and operation. I want to add electric hook up with connection under the bonnet with Rcd board wired to two 240v sockets behind the drivers seat . I can do this work as it’s nice and...

Hi all. I was looking at Facebook, someone is selling a brand new "wired campers" pre wired kit for £125. Seems like there are lots of lots on eBay. Can anyone suggest a kit or a list of items to purchase for a complete 240v hook up. Thanks

Hi everyone, Newbie to the forum and first time owning a T6 camper van. We decided try the van out for the first time at the weekend and found that the starter battery was going flat over night when on hook up (absolutely fine when parked for days off EHU). Checking over the CTEK charger I...

Hello First time poster! I just bought a VW Transporter T6 4Motion. It has a leisure battery under the front passenger seat with a split charger installed, and I'm not sure which battery is in there. I would love some advice on how to add a three pin plug socket, a battery charge indicator...
