Just about to do mine but I guess there no ignition live at the back end of the van? Also the previous owner carpeted over the panel to get access so will have to cut that back and re carpet. Which fuse did you splice into and what’s it used for ?
@cruisycampers4749
@cruisycampers4749 Месяц назад
This was spliced into a spare holder on the fuse board. Wasn’t feeding anything in our case so can be used for this.

Hi, how much did you end up using thr roof bed? Did you wish youd gone for the scenic canvas? How is the head beight in the roof bed flr sitting up there enjoying the view? Looking to have a west dubz fitted for my scorland trip!
@cruisycampers4749
@cruisycampers4749 4 месяца назад
Hi there, the roof bed was rarely used and would only really be suitable for a child to stay in. I would highly recommend getting the scenic canvas without the roofbed. This would give you more headroom.

Is there any change of height in the interior headroom when the top is down, ie is it lower or higher than the original roof inside?
@cruisycampers4749
@cruisycampers4749 Год назад
With the bed it makes it the same height, but without the bed it adds about 3/4 inches of added height. Which does make quite a difference

Either a switched 12v or constant 12v feed will be ok. I would check the earth for the relay is working and everything is connected securely.
