Wired Campers Starter Camper Electrical System - Victron 18A DC-DC & Pre-Wired 240V Mains

We have created this one in response to customers asking for a starter, or basic system. This kit will charge a leisure battery from your starter via the 18A Victron Orion DC-DC unit and pre-wired mains consumer unit.

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 Brushed Steel in a standard UK 2 gang fitting, or they can be upgraded to one set of grey C-Line 13A sockets in a gunmetal grey 2 module frame (2 individual outlets in total). Please see the image of the sockets for colour/style reference.

Hook Up Type – Flush type similar to what you would find on a caravan setup. This option is available in either black or white to compliment your van.

WHAT DOES THE KIT OFFER?

You'll be able to keep your leisure battery topped up while on the move as it charges from your vehicle via the 18A Victron Orion DC-DC unit.

When you get to site, just simply plug into the 16A hook up to get 240V running through your van to power a double socket.

240V MAINS HOOK UP KIT

This is the mains consumer unit which distributes power from the site supply to the outlets. We have pre-wired the consumer unit for you in-house. 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.

When using your camper in the EU, they tend to use a system where the natural is not earthed, having double pole equipment ensures a higher level of safety. The outlets are also individually protected by their own MCBs as per regulations.

• Outlet Cable Length - 3M
