In this guide, we'll go over all your options for motorhome Wi-Fi, discussing how they work, who they're for, and making concrete product recommendations for each one.

In this article, we'll go over the theory behind a tilting solar panel mount, who they're for, and how to build one yourself.

I don't know how many times I've woken up on freezing Alpine mornings in my van "Beans" to find my old AGM leisure batteries seriously struggling or completely dead. If you’ve ever tried running a campervan through winter on lead-acid, you’ll know the routine: weak solar, short drives, voltage sag, and constant “can I make it through tonight?” battery anxiety. This winter I tested the Renogy 12V 200Ah Smart LiFePO₄ Battery with Self-Heating  (Bluetooth BMS) in my van, paired

One big question I had was: can a high-capacity portable power station  really keep my off-grid campervan powered through the harsh winter months? Late this Autumn in Chamonix, France, with temperatures plummeting well below freezing and my solar panels barely trickling in any charge, I decided to find out by testing the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2  in my campervan. I've lived in my van for many winters, typically struggling for electricity as the sun wanes, I was eager to try thi

In this guide, we’ll demystify what flexible solar panels are, how today’s panels are built, and where the market sits on efficiency, weight-per-watt, and warranties. We’ll explain why heat matters, how to manage it, and how to size and wire a system that suits weekenders through to long summer tours. Finally, we'll go over the step-by-step process that Shane used to mount flexible panels to his first van.

A 12V projector is the upgrade that makes autumn and winter in your van feel special, whether you live on the road full time or just head out at weekends. In this guide, we'll look at the current crop of compact 12V projectors and what really matters for use in a van.

Let's see how this rugged, portable 100W solar panel from BougeRV fares in a hands-on test.

In this guide, I’m going to share everything I’ve learned about campervan electrics kits  – those all-in-one packages that promise to simplify your van’s electrical system. As someone who’s built several campervan electrical setups over the years (and made plenty of mistakes along the way), I can tell you these kits have come a long  way. In fact, on my latest van build, I ditched the old piecemeal approach in favor of a complete kit – and it was a game-changer. In my early c

Lithium leisure batteries cost less than AGM batteries upfront for a given usable capacity, and pay for themselves many times over in the long term. For high-capacity electrical systems, a lithium battery's high power output and capacity for fast charging makes it the only choice. Advanced integrated features are the icing on the cake, simplifying your installation whilst giving you advanced monitoring and control capabilities.

My newest van conversion (nicknamed Elvis , a Citroën Jumper L3H3) has been my most hi-tech build yet. Crucially, it’s an all-electric build – no LPG for cooking or heating – which means the electrical system is the heart of the van. In my previous conversions, I sourced electrical parts piecemeal from various suppliers. The result was sometimes chaotic: mismatched components, multiple orders for forgotten fuses or wires, and a lot of guesswork. This time, I wanted a one-s

When building a campervan or RV electrical system, it’s easy to focus on batteries and appliances – but what about the campervan outlets  you’ll actually use every day? In this guide, I’ll break down all the different campervan electrical outlets  (both interior and exterior ) I’ve installed or researched, from high-speed USB-C chargers to shore power hook-ups. I’ll also share personal tips from my own van build, like why I put a USB next to my bed and how a wireless charging
