Off grid camper4/4/2023 ![]() This extremely sophisticated camper is the work of a California-based company called Living Vehicle which specializes in making self-sustainable luxury travel trailers. Designed from the ground up for off-grid camping, the trailer can also produce its own water, making it fully self-sufficient. If this summer you’re in the mood for some off-the-grid camping trips, this state-of-the-art self-sustainable luxury trailer is what you need. Running a fridge in cooler climate will mean the fridge may only operate 50% of the time to maintain set temperature, but running one in hot arias where daily temps is around high 20 deg’s through to40’s will see your fridge running 80-90%of the day. Now an average 12volt fridge will draw 3-4 amps an hour. Ģ amps for 65 hours 3 amps 36.6 hours, 4 amps 27.5 hours and 5 amps for 22hrs. So of the above mentioned 110 Ah battery this means effectively you can use 1 amp of electrical pressure for 110 hours before battery is flat with no power being added via solar or a battery charger. So if you battery has a small AH number it means it has more limitations in which you can add load over a period of time. If you increase the weight ‘load’ you lesson the time you can act electrical pressure. Think of it as a pressure its how many hours the electrical circuit can maintain a pressure and the load in this case is the weight. So to start you mini solar system for your camper vehicle you will need.Ĭar battery preferably 110Ah if you intend on running a fridgeĪh represents amp hours or how many amps the battery can supply for one hour. Ī good 100w solar panel will produce around 6 Amps at 13.8 -14.2 volts which will charge your car battery through the hole day. ![]() So what we use to control this flow of energy is a 12 Volt regulator it turns the high voltage your panel will be making into what we call Amps which is what we need to charge the battery fast. The reason for this is a solar panel can actually make 18-19 Volts in full sun and you battery docent like much more than 13.5-14 volt for charging. These plugs don’t connect directly to your battery don’t make the mistake of thinking its that simple because you need something to control the energy output when your panel is in full sun. įirstly you will notice you solar panel has red and black connected to it or possibly just a + and – on the plugs connected. If you are considering connecting a solar panel up to a battery to create a mini off grid power source to power a fridge or to charge your laptop or any other 240v device this is how you go about it. There is only two connections in which to complete a electrical circuit the positive and the ground or other wise referred to as ‘’earth ‘’. What i mean by this is the red terminal on you cars battery with a + on it must wire to the device you want to connect with a plus on it and or marked red. This is the main things you have to follow when wiring anything in a cars 12v system ‘’positive must wire to positive’’ and ‘’negative to negative ‘’. Your car battery has a positive (red terminal) and a negative (blue terminal ) also symbolized (positive with a +) and (negative with a -). ![]() There is no much to wiring solar its just a matter of sticking to basic rules and you cannot go wrong. Most solar circuits are wired entirely independent from you cars electrical system so this needs to be known first.
