Weekend Explorer — Install Kit (2A)
✓ 30A DC-DC Charging✓ 190W Rigid or 150W Flexible Solar✓ Mains Hook-Up Kit✓ 105Ah Lithium Included✓ Complete Component Set
The complete weekend system in unmounted form — 12V core install kit, solar kit with your choice of 190W rigid or 150W flexible panel, mains hook-up kit (pre-wired) and a 105Ah lithium battery, matched and ready to install
One purchase and the whole electrical system of your camper is sorted — split charge, solar, mains hook up and charging, and the battery to hold your energy in. The aim here is to cover all of your fusing, switching, wiring, battery and charging for the complete electrical system. Every part is specified to work together: the charger suits the battery, the cable suits the charger, the fuse box distributes it all safely. This is the component version: the 12V Core Install Kit gives you the Orion Smart 30A charger, 12-way fuse box, busbar and isolator set, and the van layout wiring loom; the solar kit adds up to 190W of harvesting with its SmartSolar MPPT controller; the mains hook-up kit brings the 10A charger, consumer unit, inlet and sockets. If you want a conventional, self-mounted/connected install with layout freedom — this is it. Charging comes from three directions: 30A from the alternator on the drive, solar when parked, and 10A from the mains when hooked up. The included Fogstar Drift 105Ah lithium battery shows its charge state live in the app.

❓ FAQ
Which layout should I choose?
We offer 10 layouts covering the common camper conversions — Small Van A-D and Large Van 1-6. The loom and battery cables are drawn to order for your layout. If yours isn't listed, call or email us before ordering and we'll spec a custom one.
I'm not sure which system level I need.
Try our online System Builder at systembuilder.rayneautomotive.co.uk — it sizes a system to how you use your van. The Weekend Explorer covers weekend-to-weekend use with fridge, lights, fan, and charging; for 240V power look at the Off-Grid Adventure or Full Off-Grid systems.
What's the difference between the Install Kit and Power Board versions?
Yes — many customers do. Pre-cut and drawn-to-order cables, a labelled loom, and straightforward connections make this very achievable for a competent DIYer. If DC electrics aren't your thing, any professional installer will have it in quickly.
Should I choose the rigid or the flexible panel?
The 190W rigid panel gives the best yield for the money and suits a flat roof section. The 150W flexible panel sits low-profile for curved or weight-sensitive roofs. Both feed the same SmartSolar 75/15 MPPT controller.
