Caravan Power & Electrical FAQs:

• 1. What is the best size generator to run my caravan?

  A 2000W - 2400W silenced Inverter Generator is a good size for powering your appliances in your caravan, but you will not be able to run everything at the same time. Most of the models in the 2000 - 2400W range are between 20 and 30KG and can fit in most generator lock boxes mounted on the van.

  Examples of typical power draw of caravan appliances:

  • Caravan Microwave - 900W
  • Domestic standard Microwave - 2000W - 2200W
  • Air Conditioner 2000W - 2400W Call us for advice if you need to power an Air Con
  • Coffee Pod Machine 1300W - 1800W
  • TV - 200W
  • Upright Caravan Fridge - 50W - 100W
  • Battery Charger - 500W - 900W

  Some people prefer to grab a good quality 3000W inverter generator on wheels (example the Briggs & Stratton P3400 Inverter generator) if they want to run a few appliances at the same time.

• 2. What is best - AGM or lithium battery?

  The answer is simple. Lithium is a better product than AGM. Lithium is lighter, more compact, and powerful, it will also last longer. However, a lithium battery will cost more, because it is a highly sought after product.

  There are situations where you can get away with an AGM battery. If you only need about 100ah (most 4 x 4 set ups), you can purchase 1 x 100ah battery and a battery box and away you go. However, once you start getting into the larger amperages (200+) it really makes more sense to turn to lithium.

• 3. Can I utilise this 12V inverter to charge my batteries?

  No, an inverter is meant solely for converting DC power to AC power. To charge your battery, you would need to consider an Inverter Charger.

• 4. What is an inverter generator?

  An inverter generator is a lightweight compact and generally silenced generator. More often than not the generator is housed in a small suitcase style exterior that helps keep noise emissions low and allows for easy transportation. The inverter is equipped with a microprocessor that inverts DC power back to AC power. This inversion produces a clean pure sine wave power output that is effective for powering modern appliances with sensitive electronics on board.

  Another main benefit is the economical fuel consumption of an inverter generator. The engine is throttle controlled and when set to Economy idle, will rev up and down to match the load being drawn. This feature allows for longer run times and cheaper running costs than the conventional style generators.

• 5. How do I charge my caravan battery?

  There are three ways to charge your caravan Battery. Either:

  • AC to DC - This is using a traditional battery charger that plugs into mains power.
  • DC to DC - This is a battery charger connected between the start battery of your tow vehicle and the Caravan Battery. This will charge the battery whilst driving.
  • Solar - Solar panels on your roof can be connected to a solar charge controller then to your Caravan Battery.

• 6. How much solar do I need to keep my caravan battery charged?

  Ideally, you want to use as much solar as you can fit on the roof. Extra portable solar panels are also a good idea if you want to park your van in the shade and run a portable panel from a lead in the sun. Solar is cheap relative to the rest of your system, and it provides so much of your power when you are camping off grid.

  However, the solar required depends on the load. Please feel free to contact our team for any specific questions on your battery - 1800 787 278!
