99% camper electrical system complete kit – your easiest route to van life
Not an electrician? No problem!
When converting a camper, the electrical system is often the most daunting part of the entire project. That is hardly surprising: there are countless devices, power ratings and possible combinations. Without studying the subject in depth, it can already be difficult to keep track of everything when selecting the right components.
The benefits at a glance
- Charging via solar, alternator and shore power
- RENOGY PRO 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery with heating and Bluetooth
- 40 A DC-DC charger for fast charging while driving
- 35 A shore power charger for fast recharging
- 30 A MPPT solar charge controller for optimum solar yield
- tigerexped black tiger PRO 150 Wp solar panel
- All components included, right down to cables and fuses
- Includes installation instructions and an easy-to-understand wiring diagram
The good news: You do not have to source and match the components yourself. Our experts – all experienced camper travellers themselves – have put together a fully coordinated camper electrical system complete kit for you.
It includes all the essential components for charging via solar, alternator and shore power. You also receive detailed installation instructions and an easy-to-understand wiring diagram, allowing you to connect the components correctly even without specialist electrical knowledge.
The system is based on powerful Renogy components and our tigerexped black tiger PRO 150 Wp solar panel. The battery, DC-DC charger, solar charge controller and shore power charger have been selected to work together and provide a reliable energy supply while travelling.
How much off-grid capability does the camper electrical system kit provide?
When travelling during the main camping season from Easter to October, average electricity consumption in a camper is often around 500 to 800 Wh per day. Depending on the weather, equipment and personal usage, your consumption may of course be higher or lower.
Let us take a look at how the 99% camper electrical system complete kit can cover this demand.
Under good conditions, the included 150 Wp solar panel can generate around 550 Wh of solar energy per day.
The RENOGY PRO 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery provides around 1280 Wh of nominal energy.
At full charging output, the 40 A DC-DC charger can supply approximately 400 to 500 Wh per hour of driving.
The RENOGY REGO AC-DC battery charger charges the leisure battery at up to 35 A.
Off-grid with solar
With the tigerexped black tiger PRO 150 Wp solar panel included in the kit, you can expect a solar yield of around 550 Wh per day under good summer conditions. With optimum orientation and plenty of sunshine, the yield may be even higher. In cloudy weather, partial shade or with an unfavourable angle to the sun, it will be correspondingly lower.
In average summer weather, solar can cover your daily electricity demand completely or at least to a large extent on many days. This allows you to stay in one place for longer without relying on shore power or regular driving.
The solar system is also worthwhile on a campsite: in good weather, you can often avoid the additional cost of an electrical hook-up.
Off-grid through driving
When the weather does not cooperate, the included RENOGY PRO 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery provides around 1280 Wh of nominal energy storage.
At an average daily consumption, this energy reserve is often sufficient for around two days – even if your solar panel temporarily produces no significant yield or the camper is parked entirely in the shade.
The included RENOGY CORE 40 A DC-DC charger also charges your leisure battery from the vehicle alternator while driving. At full charging output, approximately 400 to 500 Wh can be charged per hour of driving.
This allows you to replace a large proportion of your average daily consumption during a drive of around one hour. If the battery is largely discharged, it can be recharged within a few hours of driving, provided the alternator can supply the required output.
For example, if the solar system already generates half of your daily electricity demand, a short drive may be enough to replace the missing energy. If your trip already includes regular changes of location, you may therefore only rarely need a shore power connection.
Charging from shore power
When connected to shore power, the included RENOGY REGO 35 A AC-DC battery charger takes care of charging your leisure battery.
With a charging current of up to 35 A, the 100 Ah battery charges considerably faster than with many smaller standard chargers. Even a heavily discharged battery can easily be fully recharged overnight.
If the weather remains poor for an extended period and you are not driving enough, you can simply recharge occasionally at a campsite or motorhome stopover – perhaps when you are topping up your fresh water or enjoying a hot shower anyway.
Keep everything in view with Bluetooth and the app
The included RENOGY PRO battery features integrated Bluetooth. This allows you to conveniently monitor important battery data such as state of charge, voltage, charging and discharging current and temperature on your smartphone.
The additional RENOGY BT-2 Bluetooth module also enables wireless monitoring of compatible Renogy components. This means you can conveniently keep track of charging via the solar system and alternator as well.
When is the 99% camper electrical system kit not suitable for you?
As a general guideline, this kit may be too small for your requirements if you want to:
- cook using a powerful induction hob,
- work off-grid from your camper for full days with high laptop and technology consumption,
- operate larger 230 V appliances
- or live in your camper permanently.
Configure a larger electrical system to suit your requirements
We offer two options to help you put together the right electrical setup:
1. Electrical system configurator
Our configurator guides you step by step through the components you need.
2. Off-Grid Power Designer Pro
Here, you simulate a real journey using real data. The more accurately you enter your requirements, the more realistically the Off-Grid Power Designer can reproduce the behaviour of your electrical system.
No more guesswork. Once your plan is complete, you can submit it for review by one of our technicians.
Installation – simple and professional
We make installation as straightforward as possible. You receive detailed installation instructions and an easy-to-understand wiring diagram showing which components are connected to one another and which cables and fuses are required at each point.
What you will still need
- A little practical skill and at least a basic understanding of how current flows through an electrical system.
- A basic selection of tools. As you are probably carrying out more than just the electrical installation in your camper, you will most likely already need many of them for the rest of your conversion.
In addition to standard tools, you will need a suitable crimping tool to attach the included cable lugs to the cable ends.
Why do we not supply the cables pre-assembled?
The required cable lengths vary from vehicle to vehicle and from one conversion to another. The 99% camper electrical system complete kit therefore includes sufficient high-quality automotive cable in a range of cross-sections.
You can cut the cables to the exact lengths required directly inside the vehicle, giving you flexibility and independence from predetermined installation positions.
Which vehicles is the complete kit suitable for?
You can install this camper electrical system complete kit in vans, buses and other travel vehicles with a 12 V starter battery and a 12 V leisure electrical system.
The included RENOGY CORE DC-DC charger is also suitable for vehicles with modern smart alternators.
The included cable lengths are generously sized, allowing the system to be installed even in longer vans. As every vehicle conversion is different, you should still plan and measure the required cable routes carefully before installation.
