Retreat Fraser Caravan

Full OffGrid Lithium Battery and Solar Power Set Up

📢The conversation went something like this..

“Hey Mate, our current camping power supply is a bloody pain in the proverbial.”

“Aha, let me guess.  You’re running a generator?”

“Yeah, we go off grid for long periods fishing, so we need to run our 3 Engels.”

“Holy sh!t, that sounds like my type of fun.”

“Yep, but as I said getting enough power to run the fridges in a pain, we’re running portable batteries and solar panels as well as what we have in the caravan. I’m always stressing about running out of power.”

“Okay, too easy, we can build you an off grid power system for your fishing trips.”

“Oh, AND my ‘missus’ needs to use her hair dryer and hair straightener while we’re off grid too, plus… you know.. it gets hot so I want to run the air conditioner.”

“Aha….. SO, you’ll need an inverter, AC charger, DC charger, lithium batteries, solar panels, solar regulators, …… and we’ll need to wire it…… with cables….. blah, blah…..

“They said you know what you’re doing mate, so just make it work mate and show me how to use it.”

“Can do mate”
