The Use of RPS Units to power Caravans
​​
Tough Touring RPS Renewable Power Stations can refill themsevles up to 3 times a day - potentially delivering over 6kw per day into your van. ​
​
It just makes sense to capture some of the enormous energy your truck uses whilst driving - and use it to power your caravan. Add Solar to the truck as well and you can park it in sunlight regardless of the vans position.

Renewable Power Stations - Why did we have to start building them?
​
After 10 years of building in totally customized Dual battery systems in 4wd vehicles from customer to customer we'd seen enough to know that a semi portable / transferable Dual battery system was needed, and we knew that Big Chargers were more able to supply our off road power needs than big batteries... We also wanted easier access, servicability, lower prices and less wasted space.
We have now been testing and supplying running RPS units successfully for the past 2 years in a variety of applications including Tiny homes , Agricultural back up power, food vans, coffee carts, as well as recreational 4wd vehicles. We have a unit operating a CSIRO off grid science facility as well as other unexpected applications.
​
Our own passion for E-bikes , E foils and houshold cooking appliances has changed the way we can travel - Its far beyond a business for us! Were totally committed now with new comforts like Pressure cookers, Jaffle Makers, and Induction Cook tops changing the way we travel.
