You can power Caravans and Camper Trailers by plugging them into Renewable Power Stations installed in your truck - Your Van will think its on mains power (because essentially it is).
 

Park your Truck in the sun... Go for a drive in your truck and store the massive energy you have on tap in your RPS to 'Download' into your van when you return... its a no brainer - Built your primary Off Grid  power system into your truck - NOT YOUR VAN.

The 'SLIM JIM RPS 2000 is designed to power Caravans and Trailers  in off Grid environments - with outputs at constant load of 2000w and Peak load of 4000w - these units can download stored solar and Alternator energy (Charging iteslf at 80amps per hour) Stored Energy in the RPS Units can be 'Transferred" into your trailers battery system once plugged in via the 15amp 240v AC mains power point for fast 2000w power transfer. 

WIRING KITS - Wiring an RPS Unit into your truck
 

RPS units take and store power from your Alternator and your solar panels - Wiring an RPS into your truck  is straight forward with two leads from the RPS to the Trucks Cranking battery (DC LOOM KIT) required to get the power from the alternator into the RPS. 

If your running a solar panel - you run a wiring loom from the panel to the RPS as well. Any other Generator etc would also be wired in to any one of the available GREY anderson ports. 

The Enormouse Energy that the RPS units draw from panels is converted and stored by the RPS powerfull Victron Chargers - They work simultaniously - adding power together for enormous charging power and ultimately faster charging times. We reccommend using quality cables (links below) to ensure power is transferred fast.

SLIM JIM RPS 3000 Renewable Power Station

Tough Touring Australia has built  a 3000/6000w Peak Output - 15a 240V AC  pure sine power supply specifically to power Tiny homes, Caravans and offroad compertrailers that need renewable power - daily and don't have space for large solar panel arrays.

​

The RPS 3000 measures in at just 800mm deep  x 160mm wide x 400mm High - capable of powering just about any household applance and recharging itself in vehicle (standard configuration at 80amps per hour / options to upgrade charging rates  to up to 150amps per hour) - its a game changer for off grid living. Built to maximise Australian Labour efficiency - you can get one of these RPS 3000 into your vehicle for about half the cost of the same spec dual battery system... 

​

The RPS 3000 has 4 x 175Amp INPUT leads at the rear for its Modular Battery input -  giving it a maximum storage capacity of 800 amphrs. Weve found that it runs to its true outputs with a minimum of 400amphrs of battery.

BASIC FEATURES OF THE RPS 3000 and RPS 2000
 

  • All RPS unites are fitted with Victron DCDC chargers-50amp charging off alternator alone -Unlike other Brands we've tried, they work independently and simultaniously with other chargers (solar and AC) allowing for combined simultanious input power...(thats why their fast) .
     

  • The RPS has internal Skeleton structure to allow easy removal of components and bash resistance to the walls.
     

  • All wiring circuits are individually wired, meaning any failure will only affect one port - not shut down the whole RPS. 
     

  • components are inverted to allow fast inspection of all wiring from above via the  inspection panels. This makes field repairs and inspection easy if required.
     

  • Easy to view Power Guage / LED Voltage monitor built-in for quick charge information. Green means Good to go, Red means ease up.
     

  • Lifepo4 Batteries used in the RPS are stable - 'Prismatic' (Cells are joined together using Steel Plates rather than wires) for increased efficiency, 
     

  • All Models of RPS Interface via Bluetooth to your Iphone / Android devices as per victron Spec Using the Victron Connect APP. Alllwing on the fly battery monitoring from your vehicle. 
     

  • The RPS will deliver Full power to the 15Amp lead while its charging via DCDC and SOLAR and via AC (optional) all simultaniously - No wait - No downtime. THis also means they are suitable to be used as an emergency  UPS if desired.
     

  • Inverters used are Victron Terroidal. The most reliable / power ful Pure sine inverters on the market
     

  • RPS 2000 or RPS 300 using + Reccommended Solar Installation on the vehicle means that you can still keep power flowing into a caravan if its  in the shade - simply move the tow vehicle into the sun.
     

  • Alternator generated energy is 'saved' into the RPS for 'DOwnload' into your caravan when you return to it... No energy is wasted.
     

  • Normal 15 Amp power lead plugs straight in. No other connection to the van and no modifications to the van are required .
     

  • Non-Powered caravan park sites are about half the price of powered sites and are often more private / attractive as well .. RPS 2000 and RPS 1000 are game changers. Never pay for powered sites again.
