If faced with a reverse polarity situation it is possible to make up a short adapter lead to deal with reverse polarity, where the wiring within one end of the lead is reversed. You should only prepare such an adapter if you are sufficiently competent. Make sure that the adapter is clearly marked to indicate that the wiring is reversed. Reverse polarity explained I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to outsource it all to a professional. But the trouble is, it can be wildly expensive to outsource, which isn’t ideal if you’re converting a van on a budget.The photos make it look a little complicated, says Gary, but you just need a little confidence. I dare say I might upgrade to a lithium battery in the future but, for now, is just about finding a place to go and enjoy the endless supply of ice and cold drinks. Leisure batteries in motorhomes can be charged by the engine as well as by other power supplies like mains electricity, solar panels and generators. Caravan towbar electrics A huge benefit of installing the electrics yourself is that should something go wrong on the road, you’ll have an idea of how to fix it. There are two types of trailer plug available to caravans: 7-pin plugs and 13-pin plugs. 7-pin (or “12 N-type”) trailer plugs We love having a solar-generated system as it allows us to be entirely off-grid for days or weeks at a time.

However, a 230V mains appliance taking a 1A supply from an invertor will require 20A from the battery, which can cause the battery to discharge rapidly and overload the 12V wiring system. It is also important to remember to take the same safety precautions with a 230V supply from an invertor as with a normal 230V mains supply. Generators Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) – The oldest type of battery on this list and one I would avoid. Largely because they require a lot of maintenance and are potentially dangerous when overcharged.

The leisure battery is charged when you plug your caravan into the mains. It can also be charged by solar panels or generators, but you’ll usually have to install and connect these yourself. Motorhome power supplies If your total amperage exceeds the hook-up’s maximum supply rating, consider switching some of your appliances off. It’s also worth noting that some appliances (like fan heaters) demand a higher current to start up before returning

Motorhomes are a little different from caravans in that they have two batteries — one for driving (vehicle battery) and another for everything else (leisure battery) Vehicle battery Cheaper generators may cause electrical spikes or surges in voltage that can result in damage to the caravan’s sensitive electronic control systems. Allowing generators to run for a while to warm up before connecting can sometimes alleviate this problem, but it is better to buy a generator with the technology to provide a smooth surge-free electrical supply. Thankfully, you can future-proof your holidays from electrical failures by getting acquainted with how your caravan electrics work. Below, we’ve put together a guide that will teach you how your caravan electrical systems work — from wiring to power supplies — and how to troubleshoot properly when there’s a problem.

With that in mind, you might benefit from this overview of terminology I will use throughout the article. Reduce power consumption as the 1.5mm sq CSA cable is not as capable of sustaining maximum electrical power usage on a caravan or motorhome without the cable overheating Use Vaseline — Applying a smear of petroleum jelly around the battery terminals helps to prevent corrosive build-ups by keeping moisture out. Caravans can be connected to your car so that you can control turn signals and tail lights while towing. They’re connected using a ‘trailer plug’ (also known as a caravan plug).So what I’m trying to say is, if we can do it, you can do it too. And in this guide, I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know to get you started. The key number is the mAH (milli-ampere hour). You’ll find powerbanks as low as 1,000mAH and as high as 30,000mAH. The higher the number, the more charge you’ll get, but the trade-off is weight and size. Some airlines won’t allow very high-powered battery banks. DC Power: Direct current (DC) power can come from multiple sources, including leisure batteries like the ones you’ll have in your van.
