    Need ideas for Consumer Unit location in tambour unit.

    Hi collective wisdom, I need some ideas / input on where to locate my consumer unit and 12v DC fuse panel. I have a mass of cables coiled up behind the rear quarter panel giving me some flexibility on where I locate the CU and 12v fuse board. I had initially thought about the lower cupboard by...

    Excuse me but what the eff are you plugging in to my van?!

    I've had a look and can't see much if anything for this. To try to justify an integrated electric hook up install alongside 12v setup (with additional 1000w+ power station perhaps) we need a list of potential items for EHU please. I have created the below tiny list, if anyone has anything to...

I have to sometimes unplug and replug in a few times before the reverse...

    EHU under bonnet - flat battery

    My van is new to me and I had the first off grid trip away last weekend with no issues. When I got home I plugged the EHU in to charge the leisure battery. The EHU is located under the bonnet so I plugged it in, lowered the bonnet but didn’t close it all the way for fear of damaging the cable...

    Leisure Battery charging from mains hook up

    I have recently purchased my first T6 camper and was away at the weekend on a campsite and connected to the electric hookup. I thought this would also charge the leisure battery, but it does not, it only powers 2 plug sockets and the only thing that charges the leisure battery is by running the...

    T6 Beach Leisure Battery Charging

    Hello, We 've got a T6 Beach on a 2017 plate and am having issues with the leisure battery not charging, the RCD in the boot of the van trips instantly and I suspect the factory fit VW charger is to blame, seeing as the charger is hidden behind the trim I'd like to have a suitable replacement...

    Inlet to consumer unit - cable length

    Just received my 230v kit and received 1.5 metres of 2.5 3 core cable but I want to run the inlet from under the bonnet through the cab and to the consumer unit attached to the back of my units. Obviously 1.5 meters isn’t going to be long enough to do that, which is fine as I can get a longer...

    Direct charge from 240v hook up to Fogstar 105ah Lithium Battery

    My Sargent EC155 isn't charging the Fogstar Lithium battery. I've checked the 15amp charger fuse on the Sargent and all the switches are up on the breaker. Read another post on here that says probably easier to install a direct charge solution as, the charger function of the Sargent is...

    Hello! I've recently purchased my first camper:waving:- and I had a question that I'm hoping someone could help with. I believe it's a fairly standard setup with a Leisure Battery that runs the lights and the fridge, and it has 240V Plug-Tower and Microwave for when it's connected to a...
