Jayco Caravans - Stirling
How a 2007 Jayco Stirling Caravan Upgrade Transformed Off-Grid Travel
Why would a retired Aussie couple invest thousands in a 20-year-old caravan?
For Phil & Sheryle, the answer was clear; freedom, comfort, and peace of mind!
Trusting in their 2007 Jayco Stirling, which they’ve owned from brand new, Phil & Sheryle chose to invest $18,000 to $25,000 in an Outech OFFGrid Power Package upgrade instead of buying a new caravan.
Through research and conversations with friends, they discovered that relying on caravan manufacturers for power system upgrades often led to costly disappointments. Many manufacturers used unqualified labour, resulting in amateur installations with no technical support when electrical failures occurred, leaving customers powerless and frustrated.
By selecting qualified electrician Dan at Outech OffGrid, known for his expertise in off-grid power systems, they ensured a reliable setup for their planned camping around Australia. This strategic choice not only saved them money compared to a new caravan, but also provided a customised 24V system with 240V off-grid capabilities tailored to their needs.
Learn how we upgrade this 2007 Jayco Stirling Caravan off-grid power system for an Aussie couple who plan to keep their caravan long-term instead of buying a new caravan.

For Phil & Sheryle, proud owners of a 2007 Jayco Stirling Caravan, the true worth of a caravan is measured by the freedom and comfort it provides, not its market price.
Why settle for less when you can transform the ‘old’ caravan you love into the perfect off grid caravan, complete with all the comforts of home, like running the air conditioner or brewing a coffee?
