Split charge relay. VW transporter T6.1 how to
In this video I show how easy it is to run a split charge voltage sensing relay kit into a VW transporter T6.1. I show you exactly how to run the cable through the bulkhead into the main cab and then under the flooring into where the leisure battery will be located under the driver’s seat.

In this video I show how easy it is to scribe a panel to follow the contour of the vehicle. In this instance it’s the underside of the upper cabinets. But the exact same process will applied if scribing end panels etc. Hope this helps and please subscribe. Nearly all of my watches/views are from non subscribers. Please share and like this video.

Do you sell furniture for doblo
I don’t sorry
Hi where did you get sink/gas hob
On eBay. Dometic single burner and sink combo.
Will this fit a 2013 doblo ?
Hiya. Unfortunately not.
Beautiful workmanship!!! Love your design just beautiful!!
So stunning!!!
Thank you so much. I unfortunately no longer have it. Going to build myself a new one next year.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy Can not wait to see it!!!!
We'll kind of do the same but mirrored, kitchen near the door and some cabinets in the right front corner.
Great video, if the and advice or product
Can this work for fiat doblo 2016 mark 4 i think
Unfortunately not sorry
How local are you to north wales.
Hey struggling to find a contact for you? Searched on insta but couldn’t find.
Hi Shaun please email thecaravandoc@yahoo.co.uk. That’s my main job as a caravan and Motorhome service engineer. I build the campers around my job as and when they come in. Thanks
I know it's hard doing videos and explaining things and I'm not trying to put down your video, but you are just holding a board and saying you scribe it 1:13 I understood the part of it being square, but you never mentioned the scribe again and you just mentioned the filler piece will be square to the panel? Then at 2:02 you say you'll eventually scribe it and what you'll get is a scribe line like that? I know you can see this in your own head, but you have lost me on this one? Might have been better if you had a square uncut board and actually show where you are going to scribe it and actually scribe it for us to watch and follow.
No worries. I’ll do another video just for demo purposes to try and explain it better
Hello, how much would it cost to fully convert this vehicle with shelves up top? i just bought my high top fiat doblo and looking to get it converted. thanks so much
Hi Shelly thanks for your comment. If you could email Northwalescampers@yahoo.co.uk we can discuss what you’d like and price from there. I can then give you my contact number through our email chat. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, My daughter has just bought a fiat doblo Maxi van 2015 model and we are converting it to a camper and would be willing to be the donor van to see if this is possible let me know if that would be a possibility thanks Tony
Hi Tony thanks for your comment. Yes of course if your local or not to far from Rhyl I’d be happy to help. It would take 2 trips however due to needing to take various measurements from the passenger seat base and fixing points and then a return trip to Fit it and make sure I’m happy with the install and that it’s all working as it should. My email is in the description. Thanks Rob
Will the swivel plate fit a 2013 doblo cargo van
Unfortunately it doesn’t. I’ve been trying to find someone willing to use their vehicle as a donor and would get it at cost price.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy i would donate mine but on a very tight schedule... gettin van on 12th sept... work on it then back to spain 28th sept.. plus i is in Kent.. thanks anyway
that is brilliant! bravo!
Thank you so much. Please consider subscribing. More videos to come.
Do you have any videos of how to wore in an auxiliary battery, fuse box etc? I am buying a doblo to convert it over the winter but I'm not electrically minded.
Hi Chris, over the next couple of weeks I’ll be doing a mock up panel, along with adding an additional 2 batteries into my work van to power lights, large 2000 watt inverter and power points. Thanks. Please subscribe to be notified when it becomes live. Thanks again.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy just subscribed. Thank you, that will be great.
Have e-mailed you !
Nothing has arrived. How can I help.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy looking for a swivel for a Fiat Doblo 2005 . Is there any available? Thanks 🙏
Hi yes. Made to order. Thanks.
amazing job! May I kindly ask you for the bed length when set? I would assume this is a L1h1 model? Is there a chance to have 1.90cm?
Hiya. Thanks for your comment. Mine was around 1780mm in length but you could easily make it longer. It would just protrude past the sliding door a little more that’s all.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy thanks mate! I appreciate your quick reply and help :)
Hello, can you connect the voltage sensor for the dc-dc charger to anything under the seat? Installing the renogy dc-dc 50amp dual charger
Hi Ian, thanks for your question. Ideally you want an ignition feed so it only powers the charger once the engine is running, otherwise you risk flattening the vehicle battery.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy thanks for the reply, I've since seen another vine of you videos with the two connectors behind the battery box! Currently on my way to Wales. Wish I spotted you earlier and could have booked in for you to do it 😂
If you struggle please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m a caravan and Motorhome service engineer full time, campers as a hobby.
Just seen your vid. Am looking to do similar ish but need removable bed as will also be used as a work van. That said what front seats did you use and were they an easy fit
Hi Steve I used for galaxy seats. They were fairly straightforward to fit. Just drilled new holes on the bases. You’ll need another drivers side base. There straightforward to fit to as the holes are already in the floor.
Sorry forgot to ask. What units did you use for the kitchen part ?
I used 1x base cabinet and 1x wall cabinet from B&Q but I now build them bespoke myself when needed.
I take it these will also fit the Vauxhall Combo?
I’m not sure. Possibly. Depends on the seating mounting locations.
Did you do the berlingo / partners ? These are great
Unfortunately I don’t but if you were local to north wales and would allow me to use your van as a guinea pig for measurements etc and be happy to do it at a reduced price for you. Only problem is, it would need to be 2 visits. Measuring and then returning for fitting and any mods that might be needed.
Where did you got the cupdoard pls ?
Hiya, there just 1 base cabinet and 2 wall units from B&Q. I now build them Hope this helps.
Have a look at ticking sticks. Far more accurate.
Will do. Thank you.
nice work on your vans mate i have a 2012 renault trafic and beed wanting solar panel on her and thought of single seats in front but started having issues with injector faults .. code reader was coming up with wrong faults from air flow mass censor then dpf censor but fault lights on dash kept coming on this time told the dpf was chocked up so needed deap clean so far no warning lights ,,if goes well might still do solar panel just wondered if i did would you beable to help...steve in llandudno.
Hi Steve yes of course, I’m in Rhyl. I ended replacing 2 of my injectors during my ownership. And the air flow mass sensor, go genuine only. Cheap ones will throw up a fault. (Mass sensor)
@@Robswoodworkingdiy we go to rhyl a lot you might have seen my van if we have passed each other white with red wrap long botton black bonnet and black strip on windscreen welsh dragon on back doors side windows same as yours side bars and 17" bmw alloys ....does stand out a bitjust never got up to doing inside.........thank you will let tou know if i am going to put solar panel on her .. take care for now...steve.
Hi. Is this possible in a Skoda yeti?
I’m not sure. Probably be able to do it but would need measurements and a donor vehicle.
@@Robswoodworkingdiy Would love for you to have a go on mine!
C19 in the summer? 🙃
Do you have one. That would be fun.
Yes please
Please help,I have coolant flooding on top of the injectors,I have removed the injectors and the look wet?
You need to check the engine block over. Remove the injectors and clean out the hole. Anything obvious in there. How did you remove the injectors.
Great explanatory video - I’ve just acquired a 2005 Fiat Doblo Microcamper and need to fit this passenger seat turntable. Can you supply this or can you please give me the supplier and part No. Did you mention someone down South who you knew who did the fitting? Many thank, Mike
Hi Mike. Apologies for the delay. I can supply the plate to You. If you’d Like to email me we can sort something out. Thanks.
Great vid - thinking to do the same - BUT have you found that the lowered floor affects where you can go because of less ground clearance? I'm a bit worried about that
Hiya, the lower floor causes no issues at all. Designed for wheel chair users originally. They make great micro campers and the space feels bigger. There are few options you can go with the lower floor. Please check out one of my other videos.
Awesome idea will be trying this .
Thank you.
Hi, helpful video, thanks. Do you know of a swivel base that would fit the later models? Im after one for a 16 plate. Ta
At the minute unfortunately not. I’ll be testing and producing some later this year all being well.
hello butty just started my first camper to enjoy living the dream LOL. how many sheets of ply did it take to complete the u bed Thanks.
Top of my head it was 2 sheets maybe just over.
Good morning Rob how do i get in contact with you ? via fb ? im in the Rhyl area i have a doblo 2008 with the lowered floor , are you any good with wiring a tow bar ? is the spare wheel on the roof rack ?
Rob, could you give me the brand and type of swivel plate? Iam from the Netherlands and would like to do the same.
Hiya unfortunately I can’t, as I’m selling this as a product.
Mais um excelente trabalho realizado. Parabéns pelo empenho e dedicação. Sucesso no canal...
Thank you so much. Means a lot. This is probably my favourite build so far.
Modelo Camper en Fiat Doblo...
does it work with doors closed?
Hiya. Thanks for your comment. Yes it does.
but how long and high,depth can actually be this kitchen-sink-shelfs module if its about fiat doblo? 8:10 I meant.
Hiya thanks for your comment. It’s a 2012 Fiat doblo. The unit was around 1550mm long, around 450mm in depth and height to the worktop was 650-700mm a I remember. It was a while ago when I built this. It also had a roof tent mounted which had solar installed too. I think primarily he was going to sleep in the roof tent but on the colder nights he would sleep inside the vehicle. Hope this helps. I squeezed quite a lot in it as it was my customers request. He wanted more in. I had to reduce it down quite a bit.
Great video, easy to follow, would this work on a 2012 Doblo Eleganza?
Hi , I’ve replied back to your email.
Great job and nice car! Thanks! Would you say it is possible to install swivel mechanism on the driver's seat too? I know you don't need it but I plan to get newer version and do both seats.
Hi. Thanks for the comment. Possibly. It’s all down to space on the drivers side because of the handbrake.
I want to do this with both seats to, did you made it work for both seats?
Love it 😃
Thank you. Unfortunately I no longer own the camper. Wasn’t using it. I’ll build another one slightly bigger in a couple of years.
Looks really good mate, I've just bought a high top vivaro with plans to convert it. I found you easy to watch and listen to, most TH-camrs are boring as hell. Curious to know what solar panels and controller, battery, lights, tap and plumbing and other such gumpf you went for, where you sourced them, etc etc. Especially interested in the swivel seat. Can you do it yourself or does it need to be to a certain safety code. What about the drivers seat? But, well done, looks good and is functional. Shows what can be done on a smaller budget from a home garage.
Hi pal, leave it with me and I’ll did the info out for you. The seats were from a ford galaxy. Minor adjustment to original base and you’ll need a drivers side base for the passenger side if you go single seat there. Solar I used renogy175watt kit, taps cheap household mixer tap£15. Lights pack of 6 for £20. Agm 110amp battery. Submersible pump.
Wow, thanks for your speedy reply. I appreciate any help you can give. Both my seats are already singles. So no drama there. Already gave diesel heater and leisure battery fitted as its an ex- gas board van. Thanks, Mark.
Great video
Thank you so much. Means a lot.
That's brilliant. How much do you charge to make them please? 🌞
Apologies just seen. I advertise them on Facebook market place for £450 without cushions. I’ve redesigned it a little to make it lighter to enable removal easier whilst maintaining its structural strength.
How do you take off the black cover on top of the injectors , I have taken off all the 9mm bolts but it's still struggling to come off as though its being held by another bolt, but I can't see anything , I have a mr9 traffic 2007
Did you figure it mate? I'm also struggling
@@saltylips9965 There are 2 little bolts going into the back of the injector cover , there's a flimsy plate the injector cover is attached to , you need to put your hand round the back and feel for the two bolts
@@thebeesnuts777 brilliant mate! Thanks! Are they visible once that plastic covers off? Just want to see the state of my engine and injectors from a previous leak
@@saltylips9965 Yep, you will be able to see them , mine were all rusted and one of the bolts snapped taking the injector clips off
@@thebeesnuts777 ooft. Thanks for the tips mate. Hope it wasn't too much hassle to fix!
How did you take off the plastic bits on the doors attached to the handles to insulate behind?
They just pop of if I remember. Maybe one screw max holding on place.
Why o why ....the distracting "background" music .. Bailing out 2 mins in
Your choice buddy, it’s either that or my horrible voice which I’m not a fan of. I’m trying and new to this.
I’m going to try this, what a great tip
I seen different floor plans in those cars and I love to own one I think they're awesome little campervan
They do make great little campers. This one’s probably a touch over crowded but the owner wanted loads of storage.
