wiring

Hi I’ve had a ‘slight’ problem with some leisure battery wiring. This wire runs from my starter battery via a fuse to my b2b charger, it’s 8AWG wire which I thought should be more than enough to carry the current (roughly 3m). It looks like the wire has got so hot that it melted through the...

Hi all, I'd REALLY appreciate some feedback on the below - I've spent many, many hours researching this, but having not done it before the learning curve is steep. I'm new here, so I'll start with a photo of the van.... Right, onwards! Use Cases The van will predominantly be used as a day...

Hi all, I am hoping someone on here can help me please! I am trying to connect my rear speaker wire into the connector block from the media unit, as it came out when someone was fixing the touchscreen. To do this I need to remove the purple wire so I can then add back in the one that was...

Hi, I’ve just joined the forum as I’ve got a problem and I need help. I spent the day fitting a ply floor and matchboard cladding the barn doors and ceiling of my T6. I’ve been driving 1” screws into the floor through a sheet of 12mm ply on top of 9 mm squishy insulation and tried to only put...

So, relatively new, good quality battery. Been doing a few shorter journeys. Battery light came on while driving a few times and when i went to put Carista on after a day or two it would not start as it said the battery was too low. I charged the battery up plugged in and there was a fault...

I’m finishing up my wiring for my T6 conversion and have 25mm^2 wire for my Orion XS 12 | 12 50A. Its a really tight squeeze and in the end I’ve had to snip a few frayed strands where they just wouldn't go into the terminal. Does this look safe? Obviously I want my wiring to be safe but also not...

I’m planning out my build and whilst I keep hearing to do the cutting first i.e. windows and pop top, I’m worried about where the pop top will block off from being able to run my wiring. I’ll be getting a skyline aurora fitted but I want to run some conduit in advance of the pop top going in...

Hi everyone, I’m off to Skyline next week for a standard SWB poptop roof install. I have a t6 twin slider and my question really is, will say 20mm outside diameter flexible conduit fit inside the strengthening frame down the near and offsides? I’m having led down lights put in there (location...

Hello, Bought a camper earlier this year and it came with a duff flexi solar panel - it had been perimeter sealed so likely overheated within its first summer. Last weekend I bit the bullet and worked/prized it off... And sat the new 200w fixed frames in place. I didn't like how they...

I have a Swb twin slider that goes in for carpet lining and a pop top in a week or so, I just wanted to check if there was any wiring I should get in before the carpeting is done, do people generally go under the floor to get wiring through or is it ran through the roof line. I have the...

Looking for help, I bought a 2018 T6 and have had the barn doors replaced with a tailgate. However..... the autoelectrician is struggling to get the correct feed for the tailgate handle. He tells me that a specific feed is required to be powered for just 10s or so and no matter how much he...

Evening all - Any tips/advice on routing cables from under the seat to the back of the van? I have a twin slider, looked at going up through the seat belt pillar, how do you come back down to the control panel which will be situated in the back? Looks like I may have to drill a hole?? Also I'm...

I’ve installed 6 touch down lights into my camper conversion and they all work absolutely fine when they’re dangling from their wires and not pushed in. But when I push them into the cut out, they don’t respond to touch/ don’t work as intended, they either stay on or stay off. Has anyone else...
