Van furniture. I’d highly recommend them. Cheers. N

Cheers!

I used stainless bolts - the smallest size I could get away with. The length required can vary depending on the thickness of the roof material but always ensure at least two threads are showing past the nut. Good luck. N

@@highergroundlifestyle thank you. I came to a similar conclusion but with some sealing washers on the top. 👍🏻 Great video. Thank you.

Glad it helped! We have no regrets. Best wishes. N

Glad it helped! Stay safe. N

Hi, no. I managed to pass the cables into the cabin and pull them through the button hole in the dashboard. No major parts removal!

No, but it’s steel so HSS probably best?

Glad it helped. Best wishes. N

No, just the original T5’s. Cheers. N

Hi, yes you do. I bought all my kit from Travelin Lite but most of the items are sources from VW as the T6.1 end is still fairly new. I’d suggest a scrappy to see if anyone’s breaking one or VW. Google is also probably your friend here. Good luck. N

@@highergroundlifestyle hi, thanks for these awesome videos. I'm just about to order my parts, I was going to order the washer bottle, filler neck and rubber seal. In your video it looks like you used the original filler neck/pipe into the new reservoir. Is that correct? I'd love to save a few£ if I dont need the filler neck and seal! Thanks again

I used the shortest stainless bolts I could get away with - just enough to get a nylon nut on so they could be covered with soft covers. The size depends on the thickness of the material it needs to go through then and may differ on different parts of the roof. Cheers. N

👍

Stay safe my friend - and best wishes from Scotland! N

Hi, this is an official Suzuki part - so you need to go to a Suzuki dealer. Cheers. N

@@highergroundlifestyle Thank you very much

The irony of my efforts here is that I climbed a hill (twice!) to get a good view of the arrows but in the event they actually flew right over our roof. I’d have been better on a deckchair in the garden!

You most certainly can but you will need a charge controller to do this. It will allow your battery to be charged by both the van’s alternator and your solar panel, ensuring that you always have a means to recharge your battery whether you’re driving or not! That’s what I have installed here.

@@highergroundlifestyle thanks what does that look like

Do you mean what is sullied in a full kit

@@angelaandpaul4945 In this video it is the blue box shown at 15minutes 20 seconds.

Thanks for your positive comment. Best wishes. N

I reckon it reduced consumption by 3 to 5 mpg but as my consumption has improved over time I’m probably back where I started now! Best wishes. N

@@highergroundlifestyleI am saying after installing rooftop tent and racks the Jimny drink lots petrol because it is heavy for Jimny.

Many thanks for your lovely comment! N

Best wishes from Scotland my bird watching friend!

Hi, I didn’t actually drill any holes - they were all there in the first place. I simply used the provided bolts to secure the tent base to the roof bars. Best wishes. N

Hi. I think you mean the “front panel”. That is the metal piece that the plastic components fit to. They’re readily available. Best wishes. N

@@highergroundlifestylehi, I’ve found it out 7LA807699D

You're very welcome!

Good question!

No, sorry

How did it go?

@@highergroundlifestyle: ​​⁠It went really good, thanks to your clip. Really easy. I have never done the wiring before, so I bought workshop manual to avoid fatal mistake and it turned up great. Thank you. You should do more of them, so the people like me can learn and do things themselves.

Glad it helped

The fact that both speakers have failed simultaneously would tend to make me think the problem is with the head unit or direct connections to it, rather than the speakers or anything you have changed in the door. Make sure you haven’t muted the unit in any way before removing the head unit and checking the rear connections. Hopefully it’s nothing much! Cheers. N

Yes

I have fitted the same and the top section of the rear lamp does not illuminate when side lights are on. i contacted the supplier and they said that they do not illuminate. Can you advise if yours do as i am at a loss. Thank you.

@@norton2252mine are the same. I did see a post on Facebook where a chap had modified the circuit to get them to light but I can’t find it again

Glad it helped! The solar panel can be used in conjunction with your existing charger but you’ll need a suitable charge controller as shown in the video. Ours has Bluetooth which connects to an app on the phone and shows battery health and solar charging status. Best wishes. N

@@highergroundlifestyle thanks I’m going to buy one from the site you recommended 👍

@angelaandpaul4945 have a chat with them, tell them what you already have and they’ll advise what you need. I’m not on commission - but found their service excellent!

Thank you. Personally, I wouldn’t use a flexible solar panel! They are expensive, less efficient, overheat, need to be glued to your van and don’t last long. Best wishes. N

Excellent - well done!

It would certainly be cheaper and easier in the U.K.! Best wishes. N
