BRAND NEW JAYCO CARAVAN GETS COMPLETE OFF GRID POWER SYSTEM UPGRADE

Meet Starcraft Charlie, she is a brand newie; Jayco Starcraft Bush Pack Caravan.

Meet Alan, (Starcraft Charlie’s owner), he is all about spending more time off grid free camping all the way. 

Alan isn’t into factory standard power systems, he wanted a powerful off grid solution built; without limitations now, and expandable should future power demands increase.

Alan opted to buy the standard caravan package and commissioned Outech to install his ultimate off grid power system to meet his specific requirements.
