2025 Transit Campervan — Ultimate Electrical Upgrade
We designed and installed a complete off-grid electrical system to give this campervan the freedom to travel without relying on electrical hookups. The system features two Epoch 12V 300Ah heated lithium batteries, a Victron MultiPlus Inverter Charger, and a Victron monitoring system with a centralized touchscreen display. Four 150W roof-mounted solar panels provide 600W of solar power, while an additional 200W portable panel offers charging flexibility when parked in the shade. A DC-to-DC charger also uses the vehicle's alternator to recharge the batteries while driving. For year-round comfort, we installed a Velit 12V DC air conditioner, a Velit diesel heater, and a Leman's roof ventilator fan. Finally, we pre-wired the entire van for future additions, including water heaters, lighting, outlets, and USB ports. The customer will finish the remaining build themselves, knowing they have a professionally designed electrical and mechanical foundation ready for adventure.
