We have created this kit to for people that may already have a complete 12V setup in their camper van and want to add on an off grid mains system.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS WITH THIS KIT

Socket Finish – This refers to the 13A sockets and switches that you will see once fitted into your furniture. These are available in Flat Black Nickel, Flat Brushed Steel, or a Raised Matt Black finish in a standard UK 2 gang fitting, or they can be upgraded to three sets of grey C-Line 13A sockets in a gunmetal grey 2 module frame (6 individual outlets in total). Please see the image of the sockets for colour/style reference.

240V Mains Consumer Unit – This is the mains consumer unit which distributes power from the site supply to the outlets. This can either be provided to you with all the consumer unit parts (enclosure, breakers, cables etc.) for self-assembly by a professional electrician, or we can pre-wire the consumer unit for you in-house. With this option all that's required once installed, would be to attach the sockets and 16A hook up point. Please note, the pre-assembled unit is the mains consumer unit only, not the entire kit. The rest of the equipment (12V) will be in kit form and will require assembly.

INCOMING MAINS CONSUMER UNIT

This part of the kit is available in two forms; we can either provide you with all the consumer unit parts (enclosure, breakers, cables etc.) for self-assembly by a professional electrician, or we can pre-wire the consumer unit for you in-house. With this option all that's required once installed, would be to attach the sockets and 16A hook up point. Please just select your preference from the "240V Mains Consumer Unit" option above. Please note, the pre-assembled unit is the mains consumer unit only, not the entire kit. The rest of the equipment (12V) will be in kit form and will require assembly.

This is a small mains consumer unit that runs from the surface mount 16A hook up point on the outside of your van and feeds the input of the inverter. This protects the inverter from any power surges and overloads and is the first point of safety, providing an earth to both the inverter body and the chassis of your camper van.

• 30mA 63A Double pole Type A RCD
• 16A Double pole MCB
• 100A DP Bus bar
• Surface mounted 16A magnetic hook up point (Available in black or white)
• Relevant electrical safety stickers
• Hook up input - 4.0mm² three core arctic flex - 5M
• Inverter input - 2.5mm² three core flex - 2M
