AMAZONAS Power Hook

Product Information

How much time will you spend in your van? Naturally, somebody who lives full-time in their van will need a bigger system than someone who only uses their van on weekends. We have a 2000 watt inverter installed in our van, which allows us to power things like our hairdryer, blender, laptops, and camera charger. Not all at the same time though. The inverter size (2000 watts) indicates how much power it can generate before it trips. Although, we can easily charge both our laptops and our camera simultaneously without the inverter tripping. Some of the questions we get the most are about camping power…how do I charge my laptop, power my camping fridgeor use an electric hob when camping?

But what happens when things stop working? Scrambling around in the dark after a sudden loss of power is the last thing you want from your time off, especially if you have no idea what caused the problem or how to fix it.The Dokio solar kit above, you get a lot for your money. It’s waterproof, folds up and is made of lightweight aluminium. It’s 100W, comes with a pre-installed controller and is ready-wired for 12V battery charging. Getting that right means finding an installer you trust or speaking to people who’ve done a successful DIY job. Based on these calculations, you will need around 360 watts of solar to keep your batteries sufficiently charged, which is easily doable on most medium to large-sized vans. When connecting the probe tip to measure voltage it automatically becomes an instant voltmeter and auto ranges without manually selecting it. It measures from 0 to 99.9 volts. For example, if you require 100 amp-hours (Ah) to power your devices and appliances (as calculated in step 4), your batteries should total at least 200 Ah.

We love having a solar-generated system as it allows us to be entirely off-grid for days or weeks at a time. They are clumpy and space-consuming, they require fuel to run, and they are pretty damn noisy. Not to mention they create pollutive emissions.If you’re doing the installation yourself, this is a good place to start. You’ll need to learn about campervan wiring before you think about buying wires, connectors, fuses and all that jazz. Before attempting your campervan electrics, it’s crucial that you have some understanding of how everything works.

There are lots of simple DIY kitsthat will connect to your leisure battery and can either be installed or used standing outside the van. You can integrate your leisure batteries into this system by installing a split charge relay or a battery to battery charger. Make a list of all the electrical devices and appliances you’ll want to power in your van. This is best done in a spreadsheet so you can make calculations. So long as you have a sufficient solar panel system and a fair amount of daylight, you should be able to replenish what you use. If you’re outsourcing the work, I would still recommend sourcing the core components yourself. However, I expect the company you use will cover the wiring side of things.Perhaps you have power-hungry AC appliances like air-con units and power tools. In this case, you might need a generator. This electrical supply can be used either directly to power 230V equipment or indirectly via a power supply unit that converts the mains power at 230V AC to a nominal 12V DC, usually in conjunction with a leisure battery. This guide looks at how to use this electricity supply safely and discusses its limitations. Safety is paramount

The thing with motorhome electrical systems or camper builds, in general, is that there is no one size fits all. It’s one thing knowing what to do, but you also need to understand the theory behind it. Especially when it comes to something as risky as electrics. DC Power: Direct current (DC) power can come from multiple sources, including leisure batteries like the ones you’ll have in your van. Let me break down the most common types of campervan leisure batteries and what you can expect from them. The most common way is to use an inverter. An inverter connects to your leisure batteries and converts the 12v DC current to 240v AC current.

We were able to successfully install both a 12v (DC) and a 240v (AC) system as well as a solar power system that allows us to be totally off-grid. UK wiring regulations require special measures if electricity is to be used in outdoor locations and as conditions in tent and awnings can often be damp and affected by condensation, it is only sensible to take special measures in these situations. Any incorrect or damaged goods must be reported within 5 days of receipt. These will be replaced as soon as possible at no expense to yourself. All unwanted items must be either returned at your own expense or taken into your local Angling Direct store.
