Thinking of Buying a New Caravan? Here's What to Consider!
Before making your purchase, it's crucial to understand the caravan power system you'll need for your camping lifestyle.
Ask yourself:
🙋♀️What appliances do I wish to run off-grid?

🙋♀️Do I need to charge laptops or power Starlink?
🙋What size lithium battery bank will support my needs?
🙋♀️How much solar power is necessary, and should I consider a portable solar panel for additional charging?
🙋Can I charge the system while in tow?
🙋♀️How will I monitor my power usage effectively?
🙋Who specifically can you call to discuss complex power issues and questions?
Consider the type of technical support available.
🙋Will you have guaranteed assistance if you have concerns or questions about your electrical system?
Take inspiration from our recent client, Rob and Julie, who engaged Outech OffGrid months before deciding on a caravan manufacturer. Their approach allowed Outech OffGrid to design and install a 24v power system perfectly suited to their off-grid caravanning lifestyle.
Perfect Off-Grid Power System for Rob and Julie's Crusader Caravan
At Outech OffGrid, we take immense pride in delivering tailored power solutions that perfectly fit our clients' needs. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Rob and Julie, seasoned caravan enthusiasts who chose the Crusader Caravan Life Changer Experience model for their off-grid adventures. This wasn't their first caravan, but they wanted to ensure it was equipped with the best power system for their retirement plans to travel Australia.
Rob and Julie reached out to us even before deciding on their caravan manufacturer. They wanted to explore the "art of the possible" and ensure their new caravan was ready for free camping and off-grid travel around Australia. Our communication was exceptional from the start. We listened to their needs, asked insightful questions, and made suggestions to tailor a 24v power system that would allow them to use 240v appliances comfortably in their caravan.
Once they ordered their Crusader Caravan, we booked it in for installation. During the process, we kept Rob and Julie in the loop with updates and photographs. The handover was thorough, and we ensured all their questions were answered clearly. Our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is reflected in the high-quality workmanship that instills confidence.
After their first shakedown trip, Rob and Julie were extremely happy with the system's performance. Our after-sales service continued to impress, with proactive monitoring and prompt responses to their queries. Reviews like theirs make us proud, knowing we've achieved our goal of delivering the best outcome for our clients.
