The item in my kit

I bought BUSY-CORNER Rubber Grommet Assortment as part of my camper van equipment.

Holes and cable entries appear throughout my roof-wiring notes. I bought this grommet assortment as part of the electrical supplies, while the diary documents separate glands and fittings at the roof junction boxes.

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

The Cal-Hawk assortment offers another set of individual rubber grommets, while Link Solar uses a complete two-gland entry housing; these are different approaches to the surrounding panel opening.

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