Hook Up inlet, these look very neat but has anyone used one ?
Looks neat. But if your system/cable is different to everyone else’s when it fails you might have an issue? Just a thought.
Also I was very keen to avoid cutting a hole in the van so went for the under bonnet EHU socket. As it’s hidden it doesn’t matter if it’s a cheap blue one.

I’ve been looking at a variety of these connectors, for under bonnet. You can buy from a UK vendor and pay the VWCampertax, or get them direct on Ali Express very cheaply. In the end though I think I’m going to go with a big blue one, same reasoning as @Farnorthsurfer

I like the look of these & have considered them in the past. My thinking is that if something goes wrong or the unit gets nicked or damaged whilst I’m on tour ( currently just south of Lisbon) I’m screwed. If I stick to commonly available parts, I stand a chance of getting meself out of the merde.
