• Fully off-grid camper

• 2x AMG 130Amh leisure batteries – secured with straps on rear wheel arch box.

• Voltronic starter battery trickle charger 3A – simultaneous trickle charges the starter battery whilst the leisure battery is being charged from a mains charger and solar.

• Battery monitor with shunt and digital display displaying battery voltage and % – it’s a great reassurance when you’re off grid that you’ve got way more energy than you need.

• 200A Isolation switch – isolates the leisure batteries from all electrics.

• Main spotlights with 2-way light switch – one switch by the side door entrance, and another on front of kitchen unit.

• Dimmable LED strips – great for evening lighting while having dinner and laying in bed.

• Spotlights in overhead storage – super helpful when finding things buried at the back!

• 2x USB ports – both on the front of the kitchen unit by the bench.

• 2x 230v plugs – one by the side door entrance and one in the garage / boot.

• 1x 12v socket – in the garage. Useful when using the shower and portable tyre pumps, etc.

• Earthing / grounding points – Separate 230v and 12v earthing/grounding points.

• JustKampers 45ltr temperature adjustable compressor fridge. Easily accessible under the bench and can also be accessed when the fold up work top is up.

• 25ltr freshwater tank – enough for 2 – 3 days of water for two people.

• 25ltr grey water tank – takes 4 – 5 days to fill up with two people.

• Overhead cab storage – really large, deep storage. I store the two-burner stove and various other things up there.

• Fully insulated polyiso board and recycled plastic insulation – does a great job at keeping the van toasty in the winter and cooler in the summer.

• Complete vapour barrier – prevents condensation and moisture.

• Thermal windscreen / window sheets included – easy to (de)attach with sucker pads and rolls away in bag.

• Large garage – H 1m, W 1.7m, D 1.35m
