Power Without Limits: The Smarter, Safer Electrical System for Modern Off‑Grid Living
In a world where adventure calls louder than ever, having a power system you can trust isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
Whether you’re exploring remote landscapes, setting up camp for the weekend, or living full‑time off‑grid, your energy system becomes the heartbeat of your setup. And that’s exactly why this advanced AC/DC hybrid system was designed: to give you unmatched reliability, flexibility, and control wherever you go.
🌍 Multiple Power Sources. One Seamless Experience.
This system intelligently blends mains AC, solar power, and vehicle charging into one unified energy ecosystem.
- Plug into mains AC at a campsite and enjoy instant charging through the Victron Multiplus 1600VA Inverter. When plugged in the inverter also passes through the AC power to the AC plugs and air conditioner. This means if there is a power failure, the inverter will supply power to these circuits.
- The mains AC is also connected directly to the Hansen geyser and fridge in the nose box. This means these will only receive AC power if the caravan is plugged into the mains.
- All the AC circuits are protected with built‑in Earth Leakage protection and AC breakers.
- Harness the sun with roof‑mounted and/or foldable solar panels, each managed by dedicated 50A MPPT controllers for maximum efficiency. Each MPPT has an inline fuse and breaker, enabling the user to disconnect either solar input if necessary.
- Charge on the move with a 50A DC‑DC charger connected to your vehicle’s alternator — perfect for long travel days. You are also able to reverse the DC-DC charger via the Victron Connect app to give you an 12V outlet.
No matter where you are, your battery stays topped up and ready.
🔋 Lithium Power at the Core
At the heart of the system sits a robust lithium battery, delivering clean, stable energy to all your DC appliances. A DC cut‑off switch and fuse box ensure every circuit is protected, while a DC busbar keeps distribution neat and efficient.
From LED lighting to fridges, fans, and kitchen outlets — every essential runs smoothly. To calculate what size battery you require, start by adding up the likely load over a period of 24 hours.
For example:
- 5 x LED lights: 2 Amps x 5 hours = 10Ah
- National Luna 90L fridge: 2.5 Amps x 24 hours = 60Ah
- 30L drawer fridge: 1 Amp x 24 hours = 24Ah
In this example the total expected load in 24 hours is 94Ah, which means a 100Ah battery should be able to power these appliances without needing charge. If we want to power the 9000BTU air conditioner via the inverter we need an additional 200Ah to power it for 4 hours.
📡 Stay in Control with Smart Monitoring
With the Victron Connect App or a Cerbo display, you get real‑time insights into:
• Battery health
• Solar performance
• AC loads
• System diagnostics
It’s power management made simple, intuitive, and accessible.
🔥 Hot Water, Anywhere
The Hansen Geyser integrates seamlessly with both AC and gas, giving you hot water whether you’re plugged in or off‑grid. The Hansen Geyser is not an on-demand geyser, but rather a tank geyser similar to a residential geyser.
The Bottom Line
This system isn’t just wiring and components — it’s freedom. It’s the confidence to travel further, stay longer, and live more comfortably, no matter where the road leads.
