Panel converted to kombi; Over winter looking at fitting a leisure battery mainly for when out for day and using 12v/aux in rear of van and/or fridge. This will be totally separate to main battery set up as there doesnt seem enough space under bonnet and also planning on fitting single passenger seat where else can one be fitted easily. Have seen boat battery box which could be fitted near wheel arch but look a bodge Leisure Battery Box Standard With Straps Caravan/Camper/Boat/Motorhome | eBay

Hi,

You can get a battery that will fit under the drivers seat. You could then have outlets on the rear panel under the seat (usb or 12v) or run cable to outlets where ever you want.

@travelvolts on here can sell you a battery that is low enough to fit and all the cables specific to your T6 along with a suitable battery 2 battery charger. They all come with very specific instructions including pictures so very easy to follow.

This is the link to his website.

Good luck. Simmo.
 
The factory leisure battery for a PV is under the twin bench seat... it's a 75ah..

But there is enough room for two under there.... so if a twin bench look at a twin 75ah setup.....

Or advice as above Re under the single seat setup.
