Does a solar system on the motorhome make sense?
Why not let nature work for you when you're on vacation? With solar systems for motorhomes, the power of the sun can be used sensibly and efficiently. The advantages are obvious:
- Independent of power sources
- Cost savings
- Environmentally friendly
- Self-sufficient lifestyle
With the right solar system, you can use the power of the sun to generate enough electricity for your own consumption. Take a look at our solar systems and read about what is important when buying.
What is a generator for motorhomes?
How does a gas generator work and is the high price worth it? In short: A power generator is for people who don't always want to charge their batteries at a campsite or travel long distances to recharge their batteries and at the same time consume a lot of electricity.
There are three different types of generators for motorhomes. In addition to the gas generator, there are also petrol generators and diesel generators. Read all about generators, emergency generators and power generators here.
Which battery for the caravan?
Unlike motorhomes, caravans do not have a battery installed as standard. The towing vehicle or a 220V socket is then required for the power supply. However, to be independent, a battery can be retrofitted.
Which battery for self-sufficient living in a caravan?
If you want to live self-sufficiently in your caravan, you should look into LiFePO4 batteries. With capacities from 20 to 200 Ah, there are various sizes available so that you can quickly select the right battery for your needs.How long does a 100 Ah battery last in a caravan?
100 Ah corresponds to 100 ampere hours or the equivalent of 1280 watt hours. If a device with 1 watt is connected, it can now be operated for 1280 hours. An appliance with 100 watts could be operated for 12.8 hours.The best batteries currently on the market are lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4). They are true all-rounders and very powerful, making them ideal for all caravans.
All information on batteries for motorhomes can be found here.
Is an inverter useful in a motorhome?
With an inverter, the current from the 12V or 24 V board battery can be converted to 230 V. This is the only way to operate 230 V appliances if there is no other power source in the motorhome. It is therefore necessary.
We clarify the question of how powerful an inverter needs to be and what else is important.
What accessories do I need for the power supply in the caravan?
Accessories are also required to ensure an optimum power supply. In the accessories category you will therefore find, for example, residual current devices for protection in the event of overloads. Cables, charging plugs and monitoring panels are also available.
