The item in my kit

I bought Adhesive Cable-Tie Mounting Bases as part of my camper van equipment.

Wire organization appears throughout my roof diary, where I grouped cables and attached the conduit to the rack. These adhesive bases are another mounting supply in my purchased kit.

Where it fits my build

I brought the roof light wires and camera cables into a PVC conduit layout. That work included drilled enclosures, threaded fittings, cable glands, solder-seal splices and grouped wiring.

During the small-box stage, I drilled for a male PVC fitting and used a fitting inside as a retaining nut. I routed the camera cable through a gland into a tee and brought the light-wire groups toward the van entry.

My build notes

The wiring project was a sequence of individual connections and routes. The photographs show the intermediate stages, including open boxes and wrapped wire groups, before the remaining covers and conduit joints were finished.

I built the cable route a section at a time, bringing local connections into the larger conduit system.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

XHF supplies adhesive bases with ties and screws, while the stainless-steel ties with screw bases use metal straps and a different mounting format.

XHF Adhesive Cable-Tie Mounts

XHF Adhesive Cable-Tie Mounts

These XHF mounts have adhesive-backed bases with passages for cable ties. The separate tie loops through the base to hold a bundle against a surface.

Questions from my build

What connected the roof equipment to the van entry?

A PVC conduit layout with boxes, fittings and cable glands.

What did I do at the small junction box?

I drilled the box for a threaded PVC fitting and arranged the light-wire connections inside that part of the route.
