Finally decided to go for a Comfortz awning room. Wow, these are so easy to fit and great quality. I think we’ll get a lot of use out of this and make going away even easier.

USB QC3.0 & PD Extension for the Shoe rack to make use of the inaccessible 12v sockets near the C pillar that is obscured by the seat.

Features on / off switch , bezel to cover screw mounting.
Flying leads tinned and ready to connect
12 x24v
Edit- led voltage read out

Very compact in size, (approximately the width of six USB A plugs) could be face mounted anywhere including behind the front seats in the plastic trim.


Intention is to use a switched cigarette socket type plug (fused), but could be wired directly to LB with a Blade fuse.
I'll update when fitted and working.

Far from professional but had some piece of office carpet lying around. If it works, saves 200€ for a Brandrup carpet… will see if it holds and is comfortable enough.

Looking forward to see how this goes. Do you happen to know the output of the USB C?

Neat, how does it fix to the van?

Easy Installation: The shelf comes fully assembled and simply hooks into the aluminum rail of the pop-up roof.

That looks great!

FYI I had to pay import tax because it came from Germany to UK.

Now all bulbs at the front are replaced with LED (the ones not show were already replaced)

Two SuperVolt Polar 100 Ah LifePo4 batteries to replace the (almost dead) AGM household batteries.

Unfortunately, in the UK it is illegal to drive with LED headlight bulbs retrofitted into housings designed for halogen bulbs. Not sure in the Netherlands though.

I guess it’s allowed in The Netherlands as I had done this to another car as well and that passed MOT twice.

Thule evo wingbars - currently 15% off in Halfwits (and got my 8% Defence Discount as well). Already for the roofbox to go on for our France trip in 3 weeks.

Nice looking setup however the solar panel efficiency will take a beating....... is it possible to move the box a bit further forward to avoid shading the panel? (although I s'pose you could always park arse end towards the sun, that would do it).

Box will be covering maybe 50% of the panel in the current position. I could move it forward but wanted to keep it as far back as possible to keep the weight off the struts when the roof is up (only when box is empty). If I do move it forward it will also look a massive forehead as per the Grand 600 . Plan is to be on hookup in France so panel performance is less essential.

Looking forward to trying this when it arrives. Will let you know if it's any good. Reviews say it is. Have been specifically looking for a way to brew coffee from Nespresso cups/pods while not on EHU. This has a battery and can be charged with USB-C. Nice for offgrid or during a drive.
