Day 1: Who has an Electric Vehicle, either Electric Car for home, or Electric Van for Work?
I thought I'd post my threads in the forums that I hope to grow a bit more, so I'm trying to steer my threads towards those ones.
So my first question / thread is this.
Now electric vehicles are...
I'm doing my usual nonsense by obsessing about something months in advance. :D
I'm due to change my van in January.
I have a VW Transporter that I am more than happy with but it's a lease and has to go.
Given the choice I'd just get another VW but it looks like the next Transporter is a Transit...
I recently sold my Renault Trafic as it had done 214,000 miles and I also wanted something more economical.
I bought the Citroen Berlingo LWB. A very nice van to drive, more like a car than a van. However, I had to take out roughly half of the stuff I had had in the Renault as the berlingo was...
My 08 Renault Trafic has now done 212,000 miles. I'm the second owner, the first being the AA. It's never let me down in the 10 years I've had it, but... I think it's time to get a new one.
Electric isn't really an option as I would struggle to get the charging cable over 2 neighbours...
I realise that this is usually the domain of @Dustydazzler - however I notice in the latest Electrical News Weekly video by eFIXX has a very sexy van featured in it.
Hi everyone,
On my Hiace the roof LEDs are triggered by the side door that breaks the ground, not the positive wire. I want to also have an option to constantly power them off my Bluetti battery, i.e. when the key is not in.
I'll have a 3-position rocker switch to choose between 3 modes:

Last weekend I experienced a weird electrical fault with my 2010 Peugeot Boxer Van.
A little background - the van is a 2010 Boxer 330 2.2 Short Wheel base diesel. If you're not familiar, these vans are identical to the Citroen Relay an on most variants, the Fiat Ducato.
I have not been using...

Dear Community,
I am at the initial phase of my camper van conversion in China, in which I am planning to live and work together with my wife. Camper vans in China are not popular though they produce any kind of devices and gadgets one might search for this purpose.
I am not bad at DIY and...
Hi I am converting a Sprinter van. I would like to use RCBOs. I want to run 3 seperat Circuits. 1 and 2 for sockets either side of the van and third to a Truma combi boiler. I will be connecting up a Victron Multiplus 2.
So please correct me if I have this wrong.
The 230v socket will be close...
I saw a slot on Dragon's Den about the Vanguardian alarms. Seemed a good idea to me, but the dragons really didn't grasp the nature and extent of the problem of theft from vans and the efforts the scum go to in order to steal your stuff and wreck your livelihood.
Anyway, I just wondered if any...
Hi auto-leckies,
This is a DIY query. I have no electrician qualifications but I have electrical literacy, my original trades were heavy (HF) radio mechanic and electronics technician, acquired in the army a lifetime ago. So hopefully I'll understand your answers, eventually :)
I am in the...

Hi All
I've just fit some led strip lights to my campervan and face-palmed when I saw they were USB and on 5v, not 12v. I have cut the usb end off and wired to a switch panel in the van that runs off the 12v leisure battery. As a quick test, I've powered on to check all OK and fine. I can't...

During the early hours of Wednesday 1st of September a sparks who lives in my road had his Blue Ford Transit Custom stolen off his drive. He still has both keys to the van so thinks the thieves had some sort of device to start the van. He has it on CCTV two males in balaclavas turned up in...

I have a list of all equipment. Can anyone help?
Thanks
