I cut the plastic foot off.
In its place is a steel foot welded to the upright angle iron you saw in the photo

Mine is a full camper conversion done by Tonke in the Netherlands. The hookup is under the bonnet while the CU is at back of the van in a small cupboard where the Victron charger and the (camper) fuses are as well.
The CU is outside the pic (sorry) just below the fusebox. (the cut wires are unused > pre-installed for future options/upgrades)

Considering putting the CU inside the van.
Is a cable run from under the bonnet to behind the drivers seat an ok distance?

Where have people mounted the CU under the bonnet?
I've routed the cable through on the drivers side. There is plenty space but struggling to find mounting points.
Realistically the inlet could be mounted on the bulkhead or close.
Then the cable run would only be from directly behind the pedals, to behind the drivers seat.

Had another look and will be mounting it to the front panel on the drivers side.
Think i have got my choices down to these two, will they work under the bonnet?

The Rayne one is smaller, but has no reverse polarity light which seems useful, but is 6A/16A Type A. The 12 Volt Planet one is 10A/6A but Type C.

If it's gonna go under the bonnet, then you need an external rated one as the dust will get into the switches and stop them functioning properly.Think i have got my choices down to these two, will they work under the bonnet?

So look at one that's got the front cover.
Are you sure you got enough space for those?
Thats my question really, as i want it under the bonnet - but it seems people are using much smaller consumer units with 2 x RCBOs? But have not (yet) been able to find one pre-made with that setup
Wylex from screwfix and the rcbo's... you'll need a few cable glands and a way of mounting it.
Mines mounted to the slam panel on drivers side.

The Wylex unit is the same as mine.
I have different RCBO's... will find a link.

Ah yeah thats the other one, the 16A for the sockets. Thanks mate, will get it all ordered.
What about a 2 Pole Main Switch, AI seems to think under BS 7671 Section 721 it needs one?
I don't have a main switch.
I have 2 x RCBO's. One feeds into the van for a couple of sockets and the other feeds an outlet that i connect an extension to for in the awning.
