Getting better now!!

Kyle, what fuse rating did you put between the (+) terminals and the isolator switch
Thinking of doing somthing similar myself

[sc_BK]

Tbh didn't bother with a fuse as it's just a short bit of cable linking up 2 batteries. The positive to the inverter has a 200amp fuse, just out of shot. Then most of the accessories have 5-10amp fuses in two 8-way blade fuse holders

What power of inverter do you have
I'm looking at one for powering a heater to heat the van for cold early starts and the ocasional running of laptops, drill chargers and phone chargers. I was looking at 800w-1Kw

[sc_BK]

My inverter is rated at 2kw continous, 4kw peak

Doesn't get used THAT often but is deffo handy to have. I keep a 500w halogen site light in the back ("down-rated" with a 300w bulb) haven't had to use that for aggggges though. Also sometimes use the sockets for chargers etc, and it'll probably be used quite a bit with the wee heater.

Tube heaters are about all you can run off a van, fan/convector heaters are all 2kw+


Also own a small (650w) cheapy (£30) 2t generator, cheaper to run over a long period than the van, doesn't get used much though

Forgot all about these pics on my camera from last week!







350kgs of pitbikes on the trailer, then another honda weighing 300kgs in the back of the van. Was fun coming up the M6 shap summit with that lot on!

Fitted a pair of these horns yesterday:





Then today made the sign part of the lightbar illuminate:



Light red/pink to the rear and ice white to the front

It's two red and two white 12" 12v cold cathodes (£3 a pair)

Where did you get your tinted rear windows fitted and how much did they cost? If you don't mind me asking...

where did u get ur led break lights from, also they just standard fitting?

i'm looking at using them on a race car, just can't find them any where

[kawasaki_kev]

Nice van dude! (saved ur pic wi ur number just in case )

[sc_BK]

BTW now fitted strobes in the front grill but they blew a fuse after a day. Probably my fault for fitting them on a rainy day, and then having to use them the next day when it was torrential (welcome to the Highlands..) . When I get a nice warm day I'll get them sorted

The 2 x 48 led strips accross the top inside the doors? Got them off ebay, there's hundreds on there in all different lengths. Think it cost £7/£8 for the pair of them posted from hong kong

Yup it's had glazed rear doors from new. I've seen some vans with aftermarket ones fitted and they look terrible
If you're after some your best bet IMO would be glazed doors from ebay/breakers

cool thanks for that!!!!
