Hook up socket

Postby markwatles » Sat May 30, 2015 5:21 am

Anybody any ideas where I can fit a camping hook up socket without butchering van to much?
Also need to change front auxiliary battery, any tips output I can go to?

Hi
I have seen the fridge vans and the like that have them on the panel behind the drivers door, high up by the rain channel, presumably so the driver can see it easily & not forget to unplug.
Mine is on the near side rear corner of the roof, drawback is you have to open the door and stand inside to connect / disconnect it.
Have fun

I had one of those on the arsewash 1000
Just back from above the door
They last about 3 months and fook up this is the same as other arsrwashes i recently noted they all have problems with blue plugs
I just have a normal plug under the passenger seat and put the extension on the floor keeps it dry
Just trap the wire in the door

Remove drivers seat to change aux battery, takes five minutes, it's just 4 13mm nuts, make the job much much easier, and saves your knuckles!
