Redline Resources
Are your campervans suitable for off-grid use?
Yes, every VW and Ford campervan we offer at Redline Campers is equipped for off-grid use. This includes our campervans built on VW T6 and T6.1 base vehicles, our New VW Transporter (T7) campervans, and our campervans built on the Ford Tourneo Custom and Transit Custom platforms.
We focus on making our campervans suitable for use away from traditional campsites and reducing the reliance on electric hook-ups. We do this by installing components to make them off-grid-ready. This includes Dometic hobs powered by replaceable and refillable gas bottles, easily refillable on-board water tanks, and leisure batteries suitable for powering the lights, water pumps, and fridge.
However, that’s not all. Whilst every campervan we offer is equipped for off-grid use, we also appreciate the need to go further off the beaten track whilst being able to utilise your campervan for prolonged periods of time. That’s why we are pleased to be able to offer an enhanced off-grid pack on new campervan builds.
Designed for those venturing further away from the electric hook-up, our off-grid pack comprises the following items:
- Dometic 1800W inverter for powering the microwave and plug sockets when not connected to mains electricity
- 220W solar power delivered by two slimline roof-mounted solar panels
- 340Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery for longer off-grid power capabilities
For maximum versatility, our off-grid pack optimises the way power is utilised in several ways, including the use of automatic changeover. When the system detects 240V shore power, the inverter will disconnect and ensure this power source is utilised instead. Whilst the pack provides an on/off switch to isolate the inverter when it is not in use, and ignition relay ensures the inverter is isolated when the ignition is on.
