230v sockets in parallel - advice

[Graeme_B]

Hey - was hoping somebody could offer some advice as to best way to wire up sockets from the consumer unit?

Consumer unit is under the driver seat and I will have a single socket at base of passenger B-pillar, then 2 on driver side near C-pillar and at rear of van near the tail gate.

Is it just a case of wiring to the B-pillar socket with wring from the socket up the B-Pillar and round the back of van (keeps it separate from the 12v cabling going up the driver B-pillar) or have 2 cables running from the consumer unit (one to passenger B-pillar and other up driver B-pillar)?

The way I see it both would work but want to understand if there is a benefits to one over the other or another better option?

Cheers

What consumer unit do you have ? As some have a bus bar for additional sockets such as the cbe

Here is the inside, I've hardwired the charger and the EHU already, the last MCB is the 10 amp for sockets.

You could wire a couple in I suppose on the one trip, that’s why I went with the cbe much better system in my opinion the trip feeds an out let bus bar to connect onto

Thanks @Niknak. I think I'll go with the option of routing up the passenger B pillar and around the back as its 240v a little additional cable won't harm and seems cleaner having single wire into MCB.
