Hey ya'll, I've scoured the forum and have seen a few different threads covering different methods for how to pass wires through the floor of the van. The main ideas are I've seen between them are:
1. Rubber wire boot (similar to https://www.amazon.com/Daystar-Univ...ywords=rubber+wire+boot&qid=1610247855&sr=8-1). This is also how the pass-through under the driver seat from Mercedes works. If you've done this, does it work well? Seems as if it would be challenging with the ribs of a sprinter floor.
2. Standard cable glands (similar to https://www.amazon.com/TUPARKA-Wate...1&keywords=cable+glands&qid=1610247972&sr=8-5). These seem good for a single wire, but not for a group of wires going across under the van.
3. Simply drill a hole & fill with polyurethane caulk. This is what I've heard most pros do. The challenge with this method is modifying or adding the wires.
4. Anything else?
In my mind the main goals of a floor wire pass through are:
1. water tight
2. removable (so you can add or remove wires)
3. simple (replaceable if damaged)
What have you guys done and what do you think is best?
