Hi everyone
I’m starting to get myself organised with my T6 Caravelle and putting together the bits and bobs that I want to include whilst I’m waiting for my Reimo pop top to be scheduled and fitted (in November if the schedule at the workshop holds)
I have decided that I’m going to standardise on the Anderson SB50 connectors for the majority of the connections in the leisure battery side, including a pair of blue SB50 connections for external solar panels.
Looking at the various types of chassis brackets I have found the ones I like most are from Trailer Vision in Australia.
trailervision.com.au
They make them in red, black, blue and yellow. I’ve found the black ones on eBay from a UK seller for £8 but the blue ones are only available from Oz for £15 + £25 shipping + £duty + £vat + £fees etc.
I’ve asked the UK seller if they could get me a couple of blue ones and thought I would ask here if anyone was as pedantic as me and wanted a blue chassis mount that could be used with a standard grey, red, blue, yellow or any other colour SB50 you wanted (with the caveat that the coloured plugs generally only mate with the same colour).
My plan is to have a leisure battery outlet on each side under the sliding doors alongside a blue solar panel inlet for one or more folding panels. It’s not the end of the world if I have to use black chassis mounts with the blue plugs, but think of the possibilities!!
I’m going a little (!!) overboard as I also want to put a higher current Anderson connector somewhere on the front of the van for jumpleads (I know, it’s not a recovery truck) it’s a little scratching of a neatness itch I’ve had for a long time.
Don’t be shy, who wants to jump in with me?
