I needed a 12v socket for the fridge when traveling so fitted it here behind drivers seat.
It is connected to the main battery at the moment but will be changed to the second one when fitted.

Can you get these wheels out there?

They are multi fit wheels....110x5 and 100x5

This means they will fit on almost all vw vehicles.

If you look on the T4 forum http://vwt4forum.co.uk/index.php? you can see any thing that is possible with a transporter....

Hope its of help to you.

I love the seats. That is my favourite T4 seat upholstery.

Maris,

Do you know what the fabric is called?

I looked but could not find an answer.
