$400

I would to find someone who can competently move the solar panel on the roof of my VW T5 more towards the front of the van, to make room for a roof rack. I would also like someone to add some wall ports into the interior. 1 is a power switch for the inverter. And the other would be a standard 240v wall port. The van was professionally converted into a campervan by a certified auto electrician, so I think it shouldn't be too hard for someone who has the right tools and knows that they are doing.
