I bought my 2017 T6 in November last year, we've only just round to using it and have found that the leisure battery is not holding charge. I took it out and ran a repair cycle on it this week and it registered...

    Electrical head scratcher (for me anyway)

    Hi folks, Am a new T6 owner and a new forum member. Also, what I know about vehicle mechanics, you could write on a postage stamp. Sadly. I bought a 2019 VW T6 conversion in December last year. Have camped with EHU 4/5 times since, with no drama. Last weekend, a strange thing happened… I...

    Battery shorting on seat rails

    I recently removed my front seats to feed a cable for a reversing camera. While removing the front seats I had to disconnect all my cables from my leisure battery system. I put labels on all the cables to ensure they went back to the same place and to make sure there was no mistakes. Went to...

    Leisure battery locations - why?

    From what I’ve noticed on here, most people who install leisure batteries under a front seat (and have two single seats) choose to install on the driver’s side. Is there any good reason for this?

    Switch Relay vs Solar or both?

    I bought a T6 SWB Highline in May, which is perfectly converted except for a faulty switch relay. A friend replaced it with a cheap one, but it only worked temporarily after a "boost" and stopped charging the leisure battery once the engine turned off. After reading many threads, I still can't...

    Understanding portable solar panels

    Hi, I’m trying to understand if this portable solar panel is as simple as connecting it together as shown by the diagram, which then can run my 12v fridge and lights off grid? So basically, I connect the converter to the panel. Then the converter directly to the leisure battery via the...
