Ultimate Explorer – full campervan electrical kit
Our full campervan electrical kits include everything you need to fully wire in a campervan electrical system. We include all cabling, fuses, cable lugs, etc., as well as a number of options to enhance the system.
This kit includes a 3000VA Victron inverter/charger, supplied with a consumer unit and 3 core cable. We also include an MK3 interface cable so you can properly configure the settings for your MultiPlus.
We supply 3x 140W solar panels with L mounting brackets. These are typically screwed into place, but can also be glued to both the panel and the roof of your vehicle if you don’t wish to drill through the roof of your vehicle. Note that the open circuit voltage (Voc) of these panels will triple when they’re wired in series, as instructed in the attached wiring diagram.
A 100/30 Victron MPPT charge controller is also included. If you choose to include smart functionality, we will supply the SmartSolar version which can be configured and monitored via the Victron Connect app on your phone. Otherwise, we will include the BlueSolar version.
The 30A non-isolated battery to battery charger lets you recharge your leisure batteries as you drive (we supply two of these with this system). Please note – the non-isolated model requires a common chassis ground (most standard vehicles will have this).
For your 12V distribution and loads, we include a 12V fuse board. We also include a 65A Smart BatteryProtect in this full system kit. So, this protects your leisure battery when a low state of charge is reached by cutting off any 12V loads.
Choose to include 2x 230Ah Fogstar Drift PRO lithium batteries, or opt for the ‘no battery’ option and pick an alternative from our range of leisure batteries. We include Fogstar batteries in all of our lithium battery systems, as these are the most cost effective lithium battery on the market. We believe they offer the best balance between cost and performance.
Distribute power from your leisure batteries to the rest of your system using a Lynx Distributor. We’ll also include an isolator switch so you can isolate power to the rest of the system. We also include a grounding busbar so all components can be grounded to this, and you can make a single grounding connection to the chassis.
Choose whether you want to include the Cerbo GX and 5″ touch screen. If included, this allows you to monitor your entire system from a single point, via your phone or laptop. We have water tank senders and RuuviTags available if you also want to monitor water tank level and temperature. Read our Cerbo GX article for more information.
This kit includes every single product you need to fully install your campervan electrical system. So as well as the major components, every cable, fuse, holder, switch and lug is included.
Wiring diagram & installation guidance
We supply all our kits with a subsystem wiring diagram and installation guidance. This includes information on setting up the inverter correctly using the DIP switches and the VictronConnect app (if you choose a Smart Dongle). So, you can install your system easily and be confident it’s installed correctly. If you need any support during the install, contact us and we can provide additional support.
Ultimate Explorer – use case
This kit is suitable for someone who will spend their time mostly off-grid. It also includes a shore hook up, so you’ll be able to recharge from a campsite.
The 460Ah leisure battery bank and 420W solar array is suitable for someone with medium to high power usage. For example, common appliances might include a 12V fridge, water pump, lights, phones, laptops, blenders, and speakers. The 3000VA inverter will also be able to run higher-wattage 230V mains appliances, such as hair dryers, induction hobs, or electric kettles.
The Ultimate Explorer is suitable for someone using their van for holidays and longer trips with a high power requirement. It would also be suitable for someone living in their van full-time if they have medium to high power requirements. The optional Lithium battery is suitable for most people whose usage fits this description. Check out our guidebook page on campervan leisure batteries to read more about choosing one that’s right for you.
