⚡ Another caravan power system completed! 🔋🚐

This one was installed into a beautifully rebuilt classic Viscount caravan, using a combination of Lifetek batteries and Victron equipment.

With 410Ah of battery capacity, this setup should provide plenty of power for some relaxed off-grid camping trips with the lovely family who owns it. 🏕️☀️🔌

It’s always great seeing modern electrical systems fitted into classic caravans and giving them a whole new lease on life!

🔋 Battery upgrades
☀️ Solar systems
⚡ Inverters
🚐 DC-DC charging

What a weekend!

If you didn't catch us at the Cleveland Caravan, Camping, Boating & 4x4 Expo last weekend, here's a few snaps of what you missed out on!

Also a big thanks to Bluetti Australia and Springers Solar - Energy Systems for the generous prizes we were able to give to a very lucky visitor!

If you did see us there, hopefully either myself or one of our team members was able to blow your mind with our systems, or at least give you some great electrical advice for your future travels!

For those who came and I was either not at the show at the time, or busy with others, always feel free to reach out if we can help with your off grid setup!

We had a great time meeting with so many locals and chatting about all things caravanning!

We also had a great time chatting with other stall owners and we cant wait to come back again next year! Perhaps with some more crazy fitouts to show off!!

In the meantime, jump over to our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/) where we will be releasing all of the build details of The Beast in depth, as well as some of the unique ways we use these systems.

Safe travels all and we'll see you at the next one!

Congrats to Troy!
Winner of the major prize giveaway at the Cleveland Caravan, Camping, Boating & 4x4 Expo!

Troy is the proud new owner of a top of the range Bluetti Apex 300 Power System with the Hub D1 for all his 12v needs, along with our highest rated portable solar panels, the Alvolta 440w Solar Suitcase from Springers Solar - Energy Systems!

This system can run Troys Caravan, Canopy or even his house! Its expandable and powerful, yet remails extremely compact despite its abilities!

Prototyping on our custom Bluetti Variable length ultra slim expansion cables is completed!
12 of these units will be getting tested out in "The Beast".

Only adding 45mm to the width of units, and able to run up to 1.8m, they are a much needed improvement over the rather limited official offerings.

These will not be for sale, for liability and copyright reasons, nor will the design files be made available. These are purely for testing and evaluation.

2 units have also been requested by Bluetti for possible official production. Fingers crossed they bring out an official version!

☀️⚡ **That’s a LOT of solar for a 21ft caravan!** 😳

Finally finished installing the last of the solar array, and this setup is already putting out some seriously impressive numbers! 🔋⚡

The crazy part? **We’re still only just coming out of winter!** 🌥️

Packing this much solar onto the roof of a 21ft caravan took a bit of planning (and basically every bit of usable roof space 😂), but the result is an absolute off-grid powerhouse.

☀️ Huge solar capacity
🔋 Massive battery system
⚡ Serious off-grid capability
🏕️ All packed into a 21ft van!

And we haven't even seen what it can do under a proper summer sun yet…

🎯 **Can we crack 3.5kW+?**

I reckon we can. 😎☀️⚡
