Hello.
Very random question (sorry). We use our van on my parent's driveway. Currently (don't judge me) my dad takes the electric hook-up point apart to feed it through the letter box as the whole end bit doesn't fit through. We then feed the cable through and remake it so that we have power...
Hi im puzzling over what I should do with my fridge when im hooked up to 240v .. I have the option of keeping the fridge plugged into my leisure battery OR plugged into the 240 via an adapter (240v Power supply) basically either way the fridge is running on 12v dc. So the fridge is un aware of...
just a quick question to confirm my thoughts as the instructions supplied dont match the layout of the supplied CU
Does my pro drawing look right? i know earths are missing
Hi all,
I've earthed my consumer to the earthing point under my passenger seat. Someone told me I shouldn't earth the 240v to the van as if there was a fault it would fry my 12v system in the van. Instead I should rely on the red and the earthing back yo the who in the campsite.
Good idea or...
This may be a silly question but having just brought my first camper with a new conversion I need to buy a 25m hook up cable. I see some available have different amp rating. Any advice or recommendations?
Was away for 3 nights last week and destroyed a electricial cable running the mains in through the front door to run a heater and dehumidifier.
There's no way im cutting a standard hole in the side of the van as its not a camper and I don't want it to look like one, I already have a anderson...
Hi Guys,
I am about to have a Leisure battery in and the quote comes with electric hook-up. It's quite an expensive quote and I am wondering as it is just a day van without cooker etc. Do I actually need an electric hook up should the leisure battery not suffice?
I am interested in your...
This CU was fitted by a converter. Im relocating it atm to under bonnet but the wiring looks wrong way round to me - at least based on interior CUs.
In the top of the CU live is on left, neutral on right. Am I going crazy or isnt it usually the other way around? Does it even matter in a single...
My electric hook up point is located under the bonnet,so with the bonnet closed and ehu plugged in,battery charger located in a cupboard it’s very hard to see!,my worst nightmare would be to drive off while on hook up! Or parked on the drive plugged into the house, so I decided to use an ESP...
At the minute, I have an EHU extension lead with a RCD and breaker built in to it. I run this into the van and plug my battery charger in when needed.
I'm toying with the idea of fitting it permanently. Would there be anything wrong in fitting the EHU socket under the bonnet with an...
Hi,
At the NEC last month I saw a really cool way of hiding the electrical hook up point behind the VW badge on the front grille, problem was I forgot who made it!!! Did anyone visit the show and spotted the VW company?
The VW badge is hinged and swings out and beneath it the female 3 pin 230v...
Hi and apologies in advance if this is a bit dumb...
But could do with some friendly help here
I assumed the 3 pin (mains) sockets we have in our new (secondhand) T6 would work either on hook up or on leisure. But seems I'm wrong as they only work on hook up. Is this normal/correct?
There's a...
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 guys
Going away in June for a month Switzerland and Italy, do i need to purchase any hook up adapters or will the end I use in the UK work, any links to what I need if I need it would be great
Cheers Steve
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.
I've finally joined the club! I purchased an ex-demo Indium Grey T6 Edition last week. I took it down to Leighton Vans for them to do a few of their standard mods from their LV Sportline pack... most important thing for me being insulation inside of the vehicle to make it more of a 'day van'...
