My T6.1 Kombi is on order and won't be here for a bit, but hey ho I need to get a shopping list up together for my 'light' (i.e. not massively intrusive or full camper) conversion! It will be a day van for sports & leisure duties, a bit of advanced DIYer use and my general daily drive.
I want 2 x 240v sockets in it off a leisure battery powered by an inverter. This will be for very occasional light use. Laptop charging, drone charging, power tool charging, emergency stuff etc. etc. I won't be expecting it to run a fridge for 24 hours, or power a welder, or have a coffee machine capable of making 25 coffees without charging the battery and so on!
My plan is along these lines and I'd appreciate your input to sense check it and straighten me out where I may be going off track:-
As mentioned I am VERY open to suggestions, but please keep in mind that this is for occasional use only and therefore the budget is matched and isn't enormous!!
Appreciate your input.

- 240v + 12v + USB sockets as per this on the passenger seat base and somewhere in the rear by the tailgate
- A (lithium, LiFePO4?) battery under the passenger seat, specs & brand recommendations please
- A battery isolator to handle the split charging requirements under the passenger seat base - something like this
- An inverter to power the 240v sockets - something like this
As mentioned I am VERY open to suggestions, but please keep in mind that this is for occasional use only and therefore the budget is matched and isn't enormous!!
