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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 x

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
