Great videos ... My loom arrived from Rayne Automotive so I start tomorrow ..thanks so much ..you guys tops .👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulgoldsmith4693]

great timing my loom is being made by rayne at the moment

[@khiggins7231]

Great video !

[@chrishockley01]

What size conduit did you use? Thanks for another great video!

[@raychambers3646]

I believe it's called flexible conduit, nice job, best wired before any interior installed ,perhaps a couple of spare wires just in case.

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Thanks Ray.

[@tw0million]

we call it split wire loom in the states

[@andytaylor7793]

Great video. Is it acceptable to route a 12V cable along with existing looms, indicator, brake light etc or should i try and keep them apart? Cheers.

[@DennisWintjes2]

Thanks for sharing. Like #3

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Thank you Dennis

[@derekbland5253]

I have a motorhome and would love to see a complete set of videos that go right back to the basics on the electrics starting with volts, amps and watts etc. I would like to better understand so that I can monitor and predict usage based on devices. There is plenty of how to fit electrics but nothing that starts with the basics.

[@HELVIS.]

great as usuall .....would be nice to show the end where the switches are all connected also

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Agreed, but that's another day. I've I showed you every element of this build it wild be a 3 hour video!! Thank you for your kind words

[@alanjohn6355]

love to see real life things, on your pause section, a Gregg's packet appears, as if by magic, just the same way as the rest of us 🤣🤣,

[@jojohale9328]

Where is the fuse box located in that van. Love love love your informative videos

[@BiecherBender]

Thank you for the video! what do you use to connect multiple loads, for example the ceiling lamps to one cable? What type of box and connection method?

[@CombeValleyCampers]

The loom for the lights is pre made by Rayne Automotive and they solder in the light connectors along the route of the loom.

[@BiecherBender]

@@CombeValleyCampers oh okay, thanks for the hint, they probably use these shrink tubes with solder in them

[@CombeValleyCampers]

@@BiecherBender unlikely. The tubes with solder in are at best used for emergency repairs really. The wires will either be stripped, or cut and stripped back, then new wires are 'let-in' to the original loom and soldered together and sealed up with adhesive lined heat shrink

[@lowielawrence1513]

how do you choose what size battery 110amp or 130amp, I'm going to be running fridge off 12v socket in switch plate with lights and Usb, not sure on size of leisure battery?? thanks for the videos, learning so much

[@CombeValleyCampers]

I'd personally go for the best (largest) you can afford. However if you go for the smaller battery you could fit a solar panel to keep the fridge running longer

[@MrSimonrandall]

What’s the general size wiring you should using for lighting and 12v such as fridge. Great videos 👍

[@PhilBrindley]

Thanks for another great video. Would be awesome to see how all this links together now, e.g. wiring the loom to the switch panel, how and where the fuses factor in etc. I'm planning and really simple conversion in my T5 Kombi, with a day bed that folds out over the folded rear bench seat and basic 12v leisure set up with just some lights and USB points. Your content is really helping me to do that, but I'm just a bit unsure about how it all goes together.

[@PhilBrindley]

Ignore that, just seen your next video and using that and looking at the items I've got my eye on I think I've sussed it out.

[@evildead1949]

Rayne automotive currently have an 8 week waiting list.... also their looms cost around 15 times more than doing it yourself. Could you do a video on how to wire up a basic 12v system

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Their waiting list is long as demand is high. Their cost is justified as the kit is quality. I have done a video in wiring up a basic 12v circuit. If there's a demand for another video I'm happy to watch yours dude.

[@evildead1949]

Combe Valley Campers just the direction to your video would have sufficed.... not sure the passive aggressive comment about making the video was required..... so your saying that I couldn’t make a video as good as yours.?

[@CombeValleyCampers]

@@evildead1949 not at all dude. Not trying to be passive aggressive either. I'm always happy to make new videos based on subscriber suggestions.

[@bengibbs7346]

What are the push rods called/do you have a link to where i could find some? Cheers

[@888johnmac]

cable access kits , look on amazon or ebay

[@billy140572]

Hi I'm thinking about just running all the live wires (12v only but larger wire) and earthing the lights and 12v outlets as close as possible to the spot I'm using for the outlets so I don't have to run so many wires together and buy a loom, would it be ok to do it this way? love the videos by the way.

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Yes that is a sound way of wiring. But, please make sure the earth point are substantial and not just tec-screwed into the nearest available metal work. You will likely find factory earth posts littered all around the vehicle so use them where possible

[@somewhat7]

CVC: cloth tape Me (a Canadian): oh, he meant Hockey tape

[@dirtydog2312]

That's actually a high top not a medium high transit, nice video though and looks like a quality wiring loom

[@skisunshine]

so you shouldn't have cables loose next to the seat belt.... i did think it may be a safety consideration as i was doing it hmmm

[@MrOliverwoods]

The bells in undertone kill my tinnitus

[@oneeyedphotographer]

2:30 that red thing low on the driver's seat contain 3 60A connectors. They're called Customer Connection Points. Have you yet done a video showing how to use them? There's nothing useful in the manual, it's monochrome, so that makes it worse, and Ford site has it somewhere else, and provides no useful information.

[@geoffreytomkins]

Hi there, Is there any way you can PM me and give me a price quote on the wiring your doing on this van? I'm looking for a MWB van similar to the one in your video and will do all the 'easy and dirty work' myself, but need prefer a pro to do the wiring... Thanks...

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Hi Geoffrey, please email [e-mail] with your requirement. Leigh

[@geoffreytomkins]

@@CombeValleyCampers Thanks, I'll contact you in working hours. Sorry to bug you on a Sunday. :)

[@CombeValleyCampers]

No bother

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Thanks for being a supporter

[@topcat8820]

No windows !?!???

[@lisahodges8299]

Really useful information, had to stop watching because of the background music. Birdy

[@antoniobc4711]

Safely whithout cables going inside a tubes?😂👎

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Vehicle wiring is commonly routed outside of conduit and tubes. If you have worked on vehicles you would have seen this, In this instance I followed the exact route of factory wiring inside and outside of tubes and protection
