Installation
Would you rather someone else fitted it?
Plenty of people fit SavvyVan themselves in an afternoon - every guide we have is published, so you can read the whole job before you buy. And if you would rather not, there is a network of installers who will do it for you, at your house or in their workshop.
Fitting it yourself
Most of our panels are fitted by their owners. It is 12V wiring, a screen aperture and a couple of hours - and the part people worry about most, the cut-out, is the part every guide covers in detail.
Read the guide before you buy, not after. They are all public, with the measurements, the warnings and the photographs:
- SavvyVan3 installation guide - the panel itself, start to finish
- All support guides - including wiring to a Sargent, CBE or BCA system, where the plug-and-play versions mean no rewiring at all
Having it fitted
Our installers are independent businesses who know these systems. Most do full van electrics, not just our panels, so they can sort the rest while they are in there.
Our mobile fitting service
If none of the names below is near you, we can arrange mobile fitting through the same network. They come to the van rather than the van going to them, which matters if it is your home or your work.
Prices start at £300, and the real figure depends on where you are and what is going in. It is a quote rather than a checkout: send us the postcode and what you have ordered, and we will put you in touch with the nearest installer, who quotes before anything is booked. The installer does the work and invoices you directly - see the small print below.

Nobody near you?
The names above are the people we know and would send our own customers to, and the list grows. If none of them is close, tell us where you are and we will point you at the nearest installer we trust - we would rather find you someone than leave you guessing.
The small print, said plainly
Installation is provided by our partners, not by us. Costs and timescales are agreed directly with them, and they invoice you directly. SavvyVan LTD acts as a facilitator rather than a contractor, and is not responsible for the installation or the arrangement.
Electrical work must be done by a suitably qualified person, and it is your responsibility to check that whoever does it holds any qualifications your situation requires.
