Caravan & motorhome 12V & 24V, solar & inverters

A house battery that won’t hold charge off-grid, solar that isn’t topping up like it should, or an inverter playing up — caravan and motorhome electrics get a proper going-over, on both 12V and 24V systems.

Signs you need this

  • House battery drains faster than expected off-grid
  • Solar panel doesn’t seem to be charging properly
  • Inverter cuts out or won’t power appliances
  • 12V or 24V system has multiple things not working at once
  • Planning to add solar or upgrade house batteries

What we do

We test the charging chain end to end — solar controller, DC-DC or mains charger, and battery condition — since a flat house battery off-grid is often a charging problem, not a battery problem. Solar and inverter installs are wired and fused to the relevant standard for the system size.

What it costs

Depends heavily on what’s being diagnosed or installed. We’ll assess your system and estimate before any work.

What we work on

Caravans · Motorhomes · Camper conversions · 12V and 24V systems

Questions

Can you add solar to an existing van?
Yes, sized to your battery bank and typical usage.
Why won’t my house battery hold charge off-grid?
Could be the battery itself, or something upstream not charging it properly. We test the whole chain rather than just replacing the battery.
Do you work on both lead-acid and lithium setups?
Yes — they charge differently, and we set the system up to suit the battery type.
