Hi Phil, I like a neat finish and that’s what you’ve achieved 👍. Swift’s usb sockets are wired to the 12v socket circuit which is exactly what you have done 👍. Agree the hardest part is fishing wires through awkward spaces but it’s worth it to get it right. Cheers Rob 😀
Hi Phil, good neat job, however any additions should have a separate fuse , I know the circuit you’ve tapped in to is probably fused but better to be safe 😊
Hi Jon I thought about but she hardly uses her phone. I just put one on my side of the van. Do you have your own side of the lounge in the Van? Cheers Phil🙂👍
Amazing job. I'm not sure I'll attempt it on mine (Alpine 2) as it's clearly quite a lot of work. I have an additional Berber socket to go in, but that should be pretty much a plug and play affair. While I do love Swifts, it does annoy me how penny-pinching some of the build was. If only they had put in the infrastructure behind the blanking plate.
Hello. Yes it is a bit of a faff. I hope your project is easier than mine. Ah yes I recall VW putting the same loom into their cars back in the day. It would be nice to the wires already there. Thanks Phil👍🙂
I did this last year but I had a 12volt wires under were I removed the chest yellow and white I’m surprised you don’t have that ? Mine is an Eccles sport
Hi Philip. I believe they are there but were buried in trunking which was a mare to get to. I spent ages trying to trace wires. As Rob pointed out the is a spare close to the boiler but this is needed for another up coming project. Many Thanks Phil👍🙂
Wouldn’t it have been easier to fit another mains socket in the blank, wired to the existing adjacent socket and just plug a phone charger in when you need it ?👍🏻
Hi Howard. Good question, I have used phone chargers in the past. However my Macbook charge plug is bulky and gets in the way when closing the blinds. I want a more sleeker finish as well. This usb socket fits flush, I was also concerned that I may overload the 230 volt circuit. I hope this makes sense. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Thanks Rob I consider this as a great compliment. Thanks Phil👍🙂
Thanks for another interesting practical video. Always worth looking out for your videos on a Sunday morning.
So nice of you to say Noorman. We have plenty more to come. Thanks Phil👍🙂
Lovely tidy job Phil. 👍
Thanks Colin. See you soon pal. Phil🙂👍
Hi mate, this helped a lot! Thank you
Hi Paul. You are more than welcome. Many Thanks Phil👍🙂
If you had looked on RUclips a chap, fitted one from a 12 v spare wire at the rear of the boiler an power input, as I fitted the same a few years ago.
Hi Rob. Thanks for this. I do have a spare but that is for another project later this year. Many Thanks Phil👍🙂

Hi Steve. Good point I might put one in when I get home. Thanks Phil 👍🙂
Id have put one at both blanking plates at the same time. His and hers usbs 😂😂
Hi Jon I thought about but she hardly uses her phone. I just put one on my side of the van. Do you have your own side of the lounge in the Van? Cheers Phil🙂👍
@@lostweekendscaravan yes as one side is better for my bad knee. Waiting for a new one 😊
Ah. You are at the waiting Op Stage, I am no where near this stage yet but it will not be long. Thanks and hope you get sorted soon. Thanks Phil🙂👍
@@lostweekendscaravan 15 months to get in the list. Then anything up to a year to get it done. Good job painkillers work 😜

That’s a lot of work phil 😮. Any excuse to get out of the house 😂😂😂
Hi. Yes its nice to get some me time😂. Thanks Phil👍🙂

We just have a good supply of plug in USB ports.

Good point Phil 👍🏻 📞 💻 👍🏻
Is 2.1a high enough for your MacBook ?
@@steveblack728 Hi Steve I am away at present it charges but takes a little bit longer. Cheers Phil 👍🙂
