Experience. We have had and built transporters for years. We own a small fleet of self-built VW transporter 6.1 campervans, and a 4x4 MAN TGE (New VW Crafter) and we were one of the first Clayton Power Distributers in the UK. We always have strong stock and offer next-day delivery.
If needed we can fit. With our trained auto electricians. On an empty van we can do same-day fitting. On prebuilt campers, it is 2-3 days depending on the type.
We also offer things like towbar, roof boxes, bike racks etc.
We also have strong links with the lovely and very hairy Shaun and Kevin at Mule Vans for all your lightweight van hauling kit. Give us a call for discounts and offers.
We are hoping to have stock and samples of Vandermoon very soon but for now, here is a discount link for Vandermoon direct. Again call for questions on availability and upcoming product news.

We will have samples of the lightweight plastic board furniture board very soon. Again call Mark for details as there are some product changes and new patterns, colours and textures announced.
We are actively looking for people to interview in the industry. Give us a call if you have a great story to tell. Manufacturer, van builder, van owner it doesn't matter.
We aim to offer the best guides, interviews and products for simple plug-and-play innovation to help you build your van safely and quickly.
Lightweight, gasless, plug & play all the way!
No idea how this popped into my feed, but Autoterm heaters are really good. I have a completely different type of setup and not on one of the manufacturers mentioned here but this all sems very sound.
I run on the diesel retern line with a boat-style 50 micron filter (also from Autoterm).
Great video!
I’ve fitted 6 or so with no issues and we still have three of them in our Transporter hire vans. There are some cracking Chinese heaters about with brushless motors and higher quality glow plugs etc but the price does then start to get close to Autoterm. At least then if you are ever selling your van on it’s a known brand.
Excellent. I’ve been procrastinating dropping the tank for 2 years. I’ll get on with it now 🎉
Link to the kit please?
Thanks John if you fire me and email to mark@ahoy.co.uk I will sort you a discount deal out. We do same or next day delivery too.
Good advice !!
I like too put a 6x2 bit of wood under the fuel tank on too the jack
For a bit piece of mind.
You explained it we’ll mark and diagram s are belta 👌
Nice simple effective easy video to understand 🤙
Thanks Marc really appreciate it. I thought I was losing the plot scribbling on a wipeboard but in the end I was happy with it. Katie’s not happy with a massive wipe board floating round the house though 😂
Great video! I have no spare nipple on the top of the tank since My 2020 Crafter has the factory standheater built in. I want to install the Truma D4e as a heater and water supplier for the camper part of the van, but I do not want to give up on the standheater for the cab. What are my options? I really cannot find anything on tapping into an existing diesel line or an alternative way to connect. Anyone any clue?
@@mike130568 I know they say tapping in to the vehicle fuel line is a no no due to pressure reduction but tapping in to the existing heater could be fine. Let me ask about and see if anyone has done it and come back to you.
Loved the vid!
Cheers 👋
With the heater under the drivers seat would it still be possible to fit a swivel base? Thanks
I think it depends on the type. FYI mine are both factory swivel seats and they work 100%.
Nice one, thanks for the quick reply, really appreciate it 👍
Considering all the points you cover, is there any reason why the heater unit couldn't be mounted elsewhere in the van and duct the air to various places within the van? Handy tip for you 30 degrees is generally the angle between your index finger and your thumb when your index finger is horizontal and your thumb is vertical. 👉
No not at all. It can go various places under or in the van. Haha tip taken :-)
hi. great vid. where do i order the fuel kit from please?

@@ahoyleisure brill thanks bud
I purchased this kit, went to fit it and it seems my auxiliary connection already has a diesel line coming out of it. Any ideas? 😭 Second hand 2019 crafter
Nevermind, found I have a webesto fitted under the van, must be an an engine pre heater I guess 😅
@@brendanryan262 Yeah they can be preheaters and some are actual cab heaters too.
@@ahoyleisure Cheers - I think it's just a preheater... no sign of any controls for it. My plan is to Tee into the line and hope for the best
Is your kit OK for connection to a truma combi D second generation
Cheers
Hi, thanks for making the video. I have tried to order the VW Crafter 2017+, MAN TGE, VW Grand Cali Fuel Connection Kit and is is not available. Is it just out of stock?
It’s back in stock now✌️
Will this work with a truma combi
I’ve just fitted one of these nipples, failed at first because I’d not quite cut down far enough. Was a pain to get it off😢😂. What I did find is that I could photograph the nipple with my phone to see if I’d cut through, maybe a good idea to do that and verify before pressing the connector on.
That’s a good tip. Thanks Gaz.
