Hi guys and girls, I’m pretty new to all this and have just brought my first van a couple of months ago. i have a pms3h power controller that I am having a problem with. Since having the van battery replaced it will now no longer switch to ‘car’ setting. When i switch it to this I get no lights...

Hello newbie here had my t6 for a couple of years and have used my webasto heater a couple of times only on electric hook up, tried to use it off grid and can’t seem to get it started. When I try to turn it on on the smart control it doesn’t turn on and seems to have no power am I missing...

Hi all, So stupid me left the switch on my PMS split charger thing to 'car' for the past couple of days so my battery just went flat and alarm started sounding (this is normal according to the VW manual?). Tried to stop it with the key fob but nothing... Alarm stopped after a few minutes so I...

Hi I have a T5 campervan and the current power management system won't allow me to have my fridge runing while im driving. As you can imagine, this is massively inconvenient. I'm thinking about running a wire, fuse and switch from my leisure battery to the fridge so I can turn it on and off at...

I am about to embark on the electrics and plan to install something like the Sargent EC155. The furniture will be the 'standard' LWB layout, kitchen units down the drivers side with a wardrobe at the back on the same side. Where should the PMS be positioned that will provide the necessary...

Finally got round to doing an actual cut for my switch panel on my newish toy, if turns out ok will be happy to help anyone that might want panels made

Hi Looking at purchasing one of the following power management systems to keep every thing tidy and in one place, either the Sargent EC155/ec50 CBE PC180 Kit To power my camper conversion has anyone got any feed back on either of the two units or am I best to buy individual elements and build...

has anyone come across a switch panel that looks half decent? I've found a few but they don't allow the feeds to be individually fused.

Not much to add really. I quite like a control panel with a built in USB and plug sockets (it's smaller looking and less intrusive) but have only ever known people to use Sargent control panels with their conversions. Has anyone used a different one and had no issues?? I know what a Sargent...

Brand new Bonus Power Management System (PMS) 3H (horizontal), unused in original box. Bought in anticipation of a build but went for different install so this is surplus to requirements. Will manage 240v in and 240/12v inside the vehicle, including fridge, taps, lights etc. Cash on...

Hi All, I’ve recently bought a T6 LWB which has been professionally converted. This is the first campervan I have owned so I’m new to all this. It has an EC155 Control System with an EC51 Control Panel. I have filled up the 30 ltr on board water tank but when I press the pump button it alarms...

A question for the experienced from a conversion newbie, "how much should it be costing me to have a Sargent 155 system supplied & fitted?" rough estimate will do, also because its a T6 I'm told I also need a Ablemail B2B charger?? Thanks in advance gents......

Hi Everyone, i have the above in my T6 with a split charger relay but to be honest i'm not 100% sure how it works. I understand that if the "battery selector" rocker switch is set to "car" then the 12v power for the lights etc.. will come from the car battery. When the same switch is in the...

Hi All I am new to the forum and to the Transporter range! I have been doing a fair bit of reading and need a little advice. In 3 weeks time I will be putting the van in the garage and starting stage 1 of a 3 year, 3 stage process: Stage 1 - Insulation, lining and electrics (fitted inside an...

Hi guys, first post here. We have just bought a t6 starlight blue to convert into a camper. I'm just doing some research into things and I'm at the stage of looking at power management. I'm just wondering what people generally use and what's the most up to date system at the moment. Having...

Well it is now 2018 and looking to update my electrics.. Some of you may know I was fortunate to have the Ctek split-charge system installed by Andy Harris and his team. Anyway, now looking to update the CBE kit that I have for a more modern sleek look. CBE are obviously the main players in...

Has any one fitted a CBE PC380 system. I'd like to fit one in my camper conversation. Really only because they look nice and slick but wondered if there was any known problems with them.

I am looking to use the CBE PC210 Controller in my campervan conversion, but with a Victron Blue Smart Charger instead of the CB510 charger that comes with the PC210 Controller kit. However there is a control line between the PC210 controller and the CB510 charger called '12v net signal' (or...

Hi all fitted CBE 210 kit to my conversion on this system you need a ignition live to turn the system off when the ignition is on, so i linked this to a cable under my passenger seat, light blue with yellow band which gives 12v when ignition is on but its making the relay on the 12v cbe box...
