Travelers Spending a Lot of Time in Hot Climates
If you plan to spend significant time in places such as Arizona, Utah, Texas, or other hot climates, a larger battery bank can give you much more flexibility when using air conditioning.
People Traveling With Dogs
Dogs are actually one of the most common reasons our customers choose air conditioning.
If keeping your pets comfortable while you are away from the van is a major priority, we can design the electrical system with additional battery capacity and charging capability to better support longer AC use.
Remote Workers
If your camper van is also your office, a larger electrical system may make sense.
Daily laptop use, monitors, internet equipment, cameras, and other electronics may not individually use huge amounts of electricity, but they create a consistent daily load.
Long-Term Off-Grid Travelers
Someone who regularly camps away from hookups for several days at a time will generally benefit more from additional battery capacity than someone who stays at campgrounds with shore power.
People With Higher Electrical Usage
Frequent induction cooking, air conditioning, entertainment systems, additional appliances, and other high-power equipment can all increase battery requirements.
We have built systems with significantly more capacity, including battery banks up to 1,200 Ah, when a customer's travel style called for it.
Bigger Isn't Always Better
It can be tempting to simply install the largest battery system possible, but more battery capacity also means more cost, weight, and space.
Our goal is not to sell everyone the biggest electrical system we can build.
We would rather understand how you plan to travel and design a system that actually makes sense for you.
