Off grid electrical 12V & 240V camper/race van conversion kit
One of our most popular combinations of the full electrical conversion system in an easy to configure package, for those taking a well-trodden path.
The year-round off-grid pack gives you a solar panel to help keep the battery topped up in the summer and the dual batteries will help you get through those days with less sun and in the winter. On bright days in summer, the larger panels should sustain the average usage of a van. If you want a more in-depth look into this, check out our battery calculator located in our layout form.

Product description
Each kit is custom made to suit your individual conversion, we normally do this by looking at your customer layout form, but if you'd prefer to chat it through with us before purchasing, either give us a call or book a free sales consultation.
Please note: As we design the wiring looms, these looms will have ample cable to reach each component, allowing for sensible routing, we do take the shortest practical route. If you would like a specific cable routing, this is not a problem at all but please do specify when we discuss the layout.
Our comprehensive electrical conversion kit allows you to simply install both 12V and mains 240V systems into your campervan. We will supply all of the wiring, fusing, switching, charging, cabling you need to get powered up.
When parked up at a campsite, simply hook up your vehicle to the mains to use the 240V directly through the consumer unit and sockets. Meanwhile, the intelligent leisure battery charger will maintain your battery''s charge.
Your leisure battery will also be charged from the engine automatically whilst driving through the split charge system.
During the daylight hours, your leisure battery will also charge from the sunlight via the solar panel. On long bright days, this can be enough to run a typical van set up completely, meaning that you could be off-grid indefinitely. It's worth using our battery calculator to see if this applies to your estimated power usage.
