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 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 :)

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...
