Looking for recommendation in central Scotland

[helzie2020]

We want to get a 12V outlet installed in the living area of the van, running off the leisure battery. Can anyone recommend someone to fit that around Glasgow or Scotland central belt? Thanks.

It’s a very simple job to do your self, plenty of YouTube videos online to follow,

If you can’t do it yourself try www.approvedworkshops.co.uk for trained Motorhome repairs etc.

Where are you in Glasgow? I’m in Jordanhill, and have a Globecar - so might be able to help. I’m not an auto-electrician tho!

You could (In theory) run a (fused) 12v cable from the battery, but the correct way to do it would be to run a cable from the fused power distribution panel (probably a Schaudt EBL unit) that is somewhere in the van - this receives the 12v power from the battery.
The trickiest part will be running the cable from the EBL to wherever you want the power outlet - but there likely to already be some 12v wiring from the EBL in the van in places that can be tapped into / extended.

are close and get recommendations for car electrics - don’t try and phone - he wont pick up - drop in and chat.
he might struggle with the EBL though as it is not his area of expertise. He struggled getting his head around wiring a B2B to lithium properly. Understanding how the EBL handled the split charge relay and disabling it was the challenge. i redid it myself and chose to bypass the EBL., but I can't really fault him on that basis, as the EBL was new to him

Tried them once, foolishly tried them twice, no way would we go near the ever again.

Agreed, Tommy is excellent. Access to his workshop is a nightmare though!

The bodywork shop next to him are great as well.

I use Logan Vehicle Services, Grahams mobile and is based in Lanark. Covers the Central belt. If your on Facebook give him a look up, works on motorhomes all the time. I've used him 3 or 4 times for servicing and fitting an mppt controller. Very reliable.
