I have just spent a couple of hours helping my neighbour try to sort out some blown electrics on his "new to him" motorhome (not a VW). It looks like a home built setup, with either a mains hook-up connection or a 3.5kW inverter driving the mains sockets in the vehicle. It appears that it is...

Hi My van is currently getting converted - Caravelle seats on LWB rails. I'm having a pop top roof and solar panel and diesel heater fitted and a small kitchen pod. My converter is saying that they can't fit the 240v control panel etc unless they build a box that will cover a part of the...

Hi all. New to the forum! I have a t6 start line which I am converting. I am planning on doing the wiring for the leisure battery tomorrow. Plan is ctek 250 under driver's seat. Leisure battery by wheel arch along with all the fuses to feed lights, fridge etc My question is I also want 240v...

We are venturing into deepest darkest Europe with our van in a month. This will be our first time abroad in it. Are the hook up sockets the same as here? Been all over Europe on motorbikes so have never had to use a hook up there before . Many thanks :thumbsup:

Hi Guys, Been camping in the van over Easter and had a problem when I went to start it on Monday morning, it wouldn't. Luckily my sister had a batter changer with her and we got some charge into it and it then started. My question to the group is, when I am connected via 240v and the leisure...

Welcome to my conversion thread. We bought out van back in Feb, since then I've been carrying out work in fits and bursts as time allows but with easter holidays upon me, it's now full steam ahead with getting as much done as possible before work once again ruins my fun. Before by Strange Al...

My electrical installation is as follows: Ablemail dc dc charger, solar panel and Victron mains charger fitted to my AGM leisure battery. I don’t use the van a lot at the mo and have noticed the main battery is running low and has to be charged up periodically. Does the main battery benefit...

Hi everyone. The better half and myself are itching to go away in the T6 camping but at moment, my van is not converted. So we came up with the idea of buying an awning so we can go sooner rather than later. Is it possible, or allowed that if we purchase a 240v hook up cable with built in RCD...

Since i bought my T6 in January, i have been working every weekend doing various internal changes. This is my first Van that i have done this sort of thing to. It has been great fun, and i have to thank the various members on this Forum for posting the numerous self help guides, videos and...

What do you guys think..Im planning on fitting this tailpipe to go with my theme..I plan to cut an oval out of the bumper and impact bar behind then install my mains hookup in the tailpipe.

Has anyone seen this yet? Vision Tech Automotive showcasing their replacement grille with a 230v socket built in behind the VW badge. Brilliant idea but, at £400, I’ll probably not.

Mainly wondering if I have to use the blue arctic cable to run from the consumer unit to 2 mains sockets or would the flex from a kettle do? Also I have to sockets so is it ok to connect them in parallel, or do I need to run 2 cables from the consumer unit? Thanks

Iv just has my van converted and with to move the hook up connection. At moment it hangs below the sills mid side of van. This will cause probs with water when driving across country. Iv looked at various ideas and best I see is next to Toe Bar. Their is already hook up for trailer lights. Would...

Hi all, I have been browsing various threads and spent a long time on the Travelvolts site... I am reaching out for opinion and advice on what I am planning to install in my camper conversion. Solar panel: 300w semi-flexible photonic universe solar panel - I am planning on being self...

Newbie question: Looking to put a electrical hook up to the van to run some standard sockets in the rear of the van. I have read various threads about options which has left me a bit confused - doesn't take a lot! What do i need to be considering? Thanks in Advance

We need to be able to move the fridge out the van - currently in a rear drawer style thingy - when camping for long stays - reduces the opening of the boot etc.. just easier. i was thinking to use a similar style clapet style that we have for our thule bike rack.. but not sure if one exists...

Bear with me on this one as I try to explain it... ... Has anyone attempted to create an external access point in their T6. You know how caravans and motorhomes have storage which you access from outside the van. I have tried google and pinterest but not really found anything. Is that because...

Morning, I have received all my bits and bobs from @travelvolts. I've got the battery strapped down neatly (after a bit if dremmeling). with the ctek 250 mounted on ply sideways that's bolted to the seat base. There is also a jl audio amp under there. So it's quite tight, but it fits and is...

newbie here so sorry if basic question. Just returned from Spain/France. On a couple of campsites we managed to trip the electric hookup and weren't able to use the site electrics. Only running a fridge/LED lights/water pump/sockets so nothing major. Difficult to work out why our T6 tripped...

I'm currently putting a split charge system into my van and am going to mount the battery undercthe passenger seat. Has anyone any photos of how they've secured this? I don't fancy drilling any holes if I can negate it. Regards
