    This is what we like an extra midweek video. That tailgate chair pod is a brilliant use of space. Van really coming on. Enjoy!

      The tailgate pod is kind of a copy of the genuine vw one fitted to the California

    Hey Dan big thanks for doing a midweek video with some great content as always, the T5 is looking good and progressing but a conversion like this takes time and there is no point rushing it as mistakes will happen, the solar panel fitted a treat on the roof and doesn't look out of place due to the nice design of the wire coming out of the back, looking forward to the next one👏👍

    The Solar panel looks like a much better then the semi flexible panels that you can get. I really don't like the idea of having the two cables sat on the top on the panel which are exposed to possible damage. Saw one of them come of a van a few years ago. Plus I would like to try and replace on as they tend to be covered in adhesive that would be a mare to get off, I would imagine.
    The Chair Pod is a great idea for tailgate vans, not seen them before.

    Great progress Dan, I agree that the solar panel looks a lot better then having the cables exposed on the roof, I’ve got the same style although only 160w ( it fitted better on the standard metal roof ridges)but a great bit of kit, loving the chair pod as well, so much more convenient and never needing to make sure you’ve packed chairs also easier to access after a long drive👍🏻I’ve got the California version that is also a great bit of kit but a lot more bulky that the VS one, are you adding the door card with the built in table for even more versatility.loving the midweek video, it breaks the week up 👌🏻

  • @gashead2
    @gashead2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. I have considered a solar panel but Skyline and others say they only last 5 years so my concern would be removing the panel when it’s time to replace. The set up you have uses a bond to the roof will that be removable in future?

  • @cknbfg

    Hey Dan,
    Have bought the same solar panel as you fitted in this video.
    Would you be able to share the measurements for where to drill the hole in the pop top as I also have the same top from skyline! Thanks.

      Yeah I know but the van was the right money. I have friends that have put £10k into these engines and still had issues. We will just engine swap it when it goes bang. Would be sick to get a 3.2 V6 in there…
