Hook up query
hi, has anyone got the hook up anywhere on the van apart from the middle of a panel. Just thinking it might be better if it was somewhere a bit more discreet. Or perhaps I just need a better looking flap
Thanks xx
Thanks xx

Mine is under the bonnet. Not sure why but that's how the conversion company did it

Re: Hook up query
Here are a couple of pictures, one with the hook up tucked away by the battery, and one with it pulled out

Mines under the rear just behind fog light
Re: Hook up query
Mine is on the side, white one on black van, no idea why they didn't fit a black one!
I like the idea of it being under the bumper, seems a nice way of doing it, keeps it all tidy.

Re: Hook up query
Yes that's what I'm thinking. I think I'd like to look into getting this moved. Another job for the to do list xx

Re: Hook up query
I used to have one under the rear bumper but found even with a protective cap on it would a good dunking in muck from the road & would often have water inside when taking the cap off. Not ideal when you're plugging 240V into it.

Re: Hook up query
Good point Simon, needs to be safe. Looks like the solution is to buy a new flap thing and get it sprayed silver for now. Would look a bit tidier at least xSimon Jones wrote:I used to have one under the rear bumper but found even with a protective cap on it would a good dunking in muck from the road & would often have water inside when taking the cap off.

Re: Hook up query
Under bumper by the fog light works for me.....when assembling I always use a decent waterproof sealant around the casing to eliminate water ingress... and a slide on cap also helps like in Simon's photo
