The item in my kit

I bought Smraza HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Kit as part of my camper van equipment.

The Smraza modules are among my electronics purchases for the van project. The diary photos here document my actual device-wiring work, with cable grouping and access to connection points central to that stage.

Where it fits my build

On Day 104 I pulled the roof wiring through the PVC route with fish tape and brought the cable groups into the van. I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires passed through.

I also finished the remaining light-wire connections, fitted the junction-box covers, joined the remaining PVC sections and tightened the metal ties around the route.

My build notes

This stage pulled together several earlier sessions of drilling boxes, fitting glands and arranging the roof hardware. The final cable entry was the point where all those separate roof routes met.

My notes show how much of the work was physical organization: pulling cables, keeping entry points accessible and closing boxes after the connections were finished.

The route into the van was a layout problem as much as a wiring task.

Questions from my build

How did I pull the roof wiring through?

My Day 104 notes record using fish tape to pull wires through the PVC route.

What do the photographs show?

They show the trimmed roof entry and the roof hardware at the end of that wiring session.
