So the project took a 2 week break, I had hoped to have everything done in time for the big VW show in Tampa, but time ran away from us, anyway managed to get a week of and some time in the sun to recharge the human batteries!

Mounted charger, so can be easily accessed for setup / monitoring. Plan on making an armrest to house the charger.

Spoke to Manzaita orientation of the charger is not critical so I will mount on it’s side, using frame metal available.

Upgraded fuel input from 20A to 30A connector, required some metal bending to still be able to mount the plug – it’s about 1cm longer than to 20A version.

Re-used some 50A cable from my old range to connect from the fuel door to a NEMA 30-14 socket inside to the bus, which the charger plugs into.

Re-used an old heater box control arm to make a linkage between the throttle cable and the pot box.

Mounted the throttle box behind battery pack, using new throttle cable. Seemed to work, but we have sticking point in cable at low position, moving the throttle guide tube changes the length of the cable, and so after several hours of adjustment and movement I have decided to abandon that design and locate the pot box under the throttle pedal, so we can control the variables much more finely and avoid some of the problems with the long cable.
