JB Caravans - GatorX

This Small Caravan Gets A Big Power Upgrade

Helen, proud owner of a JB Caravan GatorX, goal is to travel Australia in her caravan with the option to power her air conditioner while free camping off the grid.

Helen wrote to Outech OffGrid asking what size power system is needed to run the air-conditioner in her small JB GatorX Caravan, which has limited roof space for solar.

Learn how we upgrade a small JB Gator X caravan's off-grid power system for a couple who plan to keep their caravan long-term instead of buying a new caravan.

Outech OffGrid designed a comprehensive 12cv power setup for the JB Gator X caravan, addressing specific needs and challenges.

Here's a summary of the improvements and features included in this Outech OffGrid Power Package:

Existing System:

• Redrac Manager 30 and Projecta Manager 30 for power management.

• 2 x 100Ah lithium batteries housed in the chassis.

• 2 x 150W solar panels for solar recharge of house batteries.

• Truma Air Conditioner for cooling.

• Limitations: No dual charging while in tow and no charging via portable panels.

Outech OffGrid 12v Power Setup:

Key Benefits - Caravan Power Upgrade
