This feels like the right way to go for us. I must admit the electrics is the only daunting bit for me
Great video guys! We are also going Truma diesel and electric hob - zero gas.
Great video guys, can't wait to plumb in my Clayton unit with induction hob!
Thanks Paul. Here’s me thinking our van was done and now katie wants to gas free. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤙🤙🤙🤙⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️I will sleep when I’m dead.
This thing is brilliant by the time a cook a meal with the air fryer or induction hob for one meal I’ve used about 60% of my echo flow delta 2 :( wish I had the money to purchase one thing this would be a game changer in my van 😊
Just bought one form Ahoy can't thank Mark enough super helpful and a top bloke. Can't wait to instal it. Love the dogs by they way no van build is complete without a wet nose and a waggy tail.
Hahah cheers my man. Ace talking to you fella. Looking forward to seeing your finished van. Really hope you go for the flannel grey respray!!!! Although that orange is just as cool too. Stay in touch and bell me with any issues or questions.
Great video. Keeping real life really helped me realise this is the way to go.
Cheers James. i’m going to do a few more using other devices and tools to again give a bit more feedback. Just need to make it as entertaining as possible. I could maybe cook for an amateur sports team ams see how many meals I can get out 🤣
@@ahoyleisure Im sure a sports team would love that, just make sure you feed the big folks first incase you run out of food or power. 😉 Where did you install the unit? I'm looking to kit out a T6.1 as a Kombi / Camper and was wonder if it would fit under a front seat, where the leisure battery normally goes, so it is out the way?
Great experiment! Well thought through. This is David’s fortay so we will sit and watch it together again tonight! (Love beans on toast too!)
Rachel & David
A new instillation project for when you get your new van 😊😊
Eye opening. I'm just feeling a bit weird about throwing out the investment I have in victron etc.
I think this is the way forward. I feel like I'm moving from CD's to Spotify 😆
Top video Mark,great to see some real world use.I'd like to go gas free in our build and the Clayton has confirmed that for me.
Ah cheers Pete. I’ve a few more videos lined up, it’s sparked (pun intended) some further ideas for it 🤣 ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
@@ahoyleisure I'll keep an eye out for those coming up 👍 We can buy the unit from Ahoy or straight through Clayton?
@@petehall9827 You most certainly can. Just message me your order on 07905949435 and any questions. Email is mark@ahoy.co.uk
Fantastic
Thanks 🙏
Mark, another great video mate. We're having a T6.1 built for us and I've taken a leap of faith and gone for gas free (twin induction hob) based on the Clayton LPSII 2000 with 230W solar input. No massive off grid periods planned just a night or two so hoping it'll be ok for our needs (Dry hair and coffee!).
Thanks Guy. I feel like the most uncomfortable youtuber that exists I find it so hard at the moment but I know it’s helping people. I know maddy instagram.com/maddy_aspinall?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== is doing well with her T5 that we helped her with and she has that model Clayton Power too.
Hi Guy thinking of going down the same route with a T6.1 Kombi / camper - where are you putting the Clayton? will it fit under one of the front seats ?
@@jamescollins4489 It’s usually under the bed seat facing forward or backwards. Some put it in the lower kitchen units. I’m building a T6.1 myself and my gut feel is under the bed pointing forward so it’s accessible via a hinged door
@@jamescollins4489 mines being done by a conversion company. I think they’re intending to put it in the centre kitchen unit. Guess that helps massively with the cabling.
Thank you both. I'm looking at a Kombi with bench seat in the back and something like a SlidePod kitchen which I can take out if needed, so won't have fixed cabinets/kitchen. Will ponder...
I assume you have solar power? If not, get it to keep topping up the battery and power your hob due the day and night. Then there’s hookup and vehicle alternator to leisure battery topup as well. Then, as a last resort buy a wee camping gas stove for emergency.
Yeah we have gas it was just a fun test. Yes we have 400w of solar panels on the roof set in mixed parallel and series to keep the vintage under 50v. The Clayton is great in that it all the charging is concurrent. In theory although not practical 🤣 solar, alternator and mains charging can be all done at the same time.
Fantastic video thank you. I'm so curious about the system as I will be building my first compact luxor van and wanted to have majority of essential components before the Van itself. Could you please review with the use of Ninja Airfry unit. I would really appreciate. Once again thank you for making my day. J:)
Hey Jo. What model is it? I’ll buy the exact one and trial it. Anything you would like me to cook 👩🍳 🤣
Oh my that's a special treat already. I guess the choice is yours of what you fancy making for two.
I love the dual Airfry but for my van life I would go for the
Ninja Healthy Grill and Airfry with all accessories. It does it all and it's smaller :)
And on another note do I have still a chance to get my hands on the Clayton with the 25% offer please. I need this in my life 😂 .
@@jolasewell1346 Haha ok I will take your lead.
I cant give 25% as the first 6 went and Clayton will kill me. I already feel like a rogue with my wacky offers. But mesasage me and I will sort you out.
Great video, just a quick question, how do you wire it into your system or connect to the reg of van? Do you need all the different modules and switch’s that you see in victron builds?
If you watch my full install videos I go in to extract detail 🤙
Awesome bud. Out with gas.
QUESTION: Is the Clyton Running your interior lights as well?
So we have two sets; We have about 4 long led lights inlay within the kitchen units which run off the Clayton Power unit via a simple 12v blade fuse box. These are all dimmable by touch. Then we have two very long led lights inlay in the ceiling which I connected to the old van interior lights. These fade in and out on lock/unlock or on entry but can be turned off via the existing dash button or the existing rear button just inside the rear doors. It made the wiring simple and has worked really well over the last couple of years so i’m glad we went that route.
Hi Mark
Have you tried running your truma boiler from this and 240 alone?
Can’t find your website, as I stupid lol
No you are not stupid, we don’t have a website yet. Would you believe my main business is a branding and web agency too 🤣 cobblers children never have any shoes.
I have yeah. We ran out of gas on a trip to the highlands in winter. We couldn’t get more gas as we needed to swap a comparable bottle but we have safefil bottle. Anyway we would use the truma on electric only, just to keep the chill of the van. So we set it to about 12 degrees from memory. We would run it through the night and then just start the engine for an hour in the morning to recharge it. Worked better than we thought. We’ve also ran the water on electric while driving to heat it with electric while driving to save gas.
The video is here we ran it in 900w

You’ve just give me an idea for another video ⚡️⚡️🤙
@@ahoyleisure Happy to help with your content lol
Got you on Instagram now so I’ll follow along 👍
We are weighing up our options with this or a victron system but I'm scared about the electrics side of it?
Yeah I was the same. I didn’t know whether to get someone to do it or do it myself. Then started reviewing and planning Victron kit and others and my head was spinning for weeks. Hands down we’ve been so happy with the decision. If you have any questions at all just bell me for a chat over the weekend 07905 94 94 35 I’ve always got 15 mins for someone to help out.
How do people not get it that it's not what how much of battery you use but how much you put into a battery...
I just don't think it is front of mind when people are considering it. Battery size is important but its simply a buffer. How much buffer everyone needs before their next drive is wildly different depending on how they use their van.
Retrofitting into a standard van would be interesting to understand ?
Yeah. The application for trade vehicles is super high especially for SME joiners, welders, builders etc. But older motorhomes is a bigger one too. My father and mother in law have an older motorhome and i’m considering retro fit in their van. I’ve already done a reccy and I think I’ve sussed it.
@@ahoyleisure in my mind pondering it I should simple connect the AC dist bd to the AC out. The DC sister bd to the Dc out. The solar direct and do away with the solar controller. The split charger I haven’t got my head around
I assume my Truma and main control Panel will be effected as they have indication showing mains charging etc
@@ahoyleisure be good if you do
A video on a retro fit
One con with the tefal is the pan vibrating and falling off
Now we did notice this when the power was turned right up. But tbf there never seems a need to go over power 3 on the Tefal or you burn the food. I would imagine 800w per hob for anyone selecting either an integrated or separate induction hob is plenty.
Is there chance of a phone app? Would be a game changer!
It has been planned and Im told its coming but I dont know when.
The way we observe the manipulation of his partner in real time on camera is hilarious 😂
I’m not sure if I should say thanks or not. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Diesel heaters and boilers are terrible for the environment as there’s no catalytic converters after the unit and therefore chucking out terrible toxic fumes all around your van.
That’s a good point I never thought of that! I think we have the best of all at the moment but I do wish we had induction hobs as it’s a slicker/neater finish on the worktop. The benefit with the 6E is that it’s so quiet.
Metal spoon in a non stick pan! Your battery will last longer than your pans 😂
Hahaha well spotted. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Metal spoon in a Tefal pan???? Stop that now lol.
Haha I normally moan at the kids about it at home and there’s me doing it on youtube 🤦
