What will fit under the driver's seat (12v/240v/Heater outlet)

[Easyeieio]

Hi all, one of my first posts, although I've been reading loads of info on here which has been really helpful, so thank you all

I'm at planning stage for the electrics in my new T6 and have a few questions on the best way to lay this out, and where to put all the stuff.

I am hoping to fit a 110amp AGM leisure battery under the driver's seat, along with a CTEK D250 charger

I will also be installing a 240v system with a Consumer unit with both 10A and 6A MCB (I think commonly called "Deluxe")

Further I want to install an inverter too (probably with an auto switch between the inverter / 240v mains linked to the main sockets in the van OR or maybe just with a separate socket only used for the inverter - ideally the first option)

Finally, I will be installing an Eberspacher under the drivers side externally with the outlet pipe coming up into the van.

My question is really how to lay it all out. Will the leisure battery and the CTEK fit under the driver's seat leave enough space for the heater outlet ( which will come up through floor and through back of seat base )

What about the inverter and consumer unit. Will they all fit as well?

Or do I need to plan on bringing up the heater outlets somewhere else? Or move the consumer unit and / or inverter?

Many thanks in advance! Hope that all makes sense!

I probably should have added, I'm avoiding putting stuff under the double passenger seat, as I will be installing a swivel base on that side

I think you will struggle to get all that under the drivers seat mate. . This is mine but without an invertor or consumer unit.


You could consider an OEM install of the heater that has the intake in the drivers step and out vent in the b pillar.

Picture in this Leisure Battery - Maximum Dimensions for under seat use? thread of 110amp agm battery installed. Not a lot of spare space

Visit the gallery on my website for pictures of various layouts under driver seat. But, yes, you will have to fit the factory option for the heater outlet or look at bringing it in under the kitchen units and out through the kick board.

Thank you for all the replies, I will rethink my layout accordingly !

I’m not sure on the maximum run of these things, but would a step inlet/outlet along with a kitchen outlet/inlet be beneficial for getting warm air to circulate around the van better?
