Off Grid

TWO BASIC STEPS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUILDING YOUR OFF-GRID ADVENTURE RIG

1. POWER GENERATION AND STORAGE

The heart of off-grid living lies in generating and storing your own power. Dual battery systems are traditional key components, allowing you to keep your batteries charged and your refrigerator running. 

Portable power stations have become increasingly popular in the last couple of years and are essential for maintaining energy independence during off-grid adventures. They offer a reliable and eco-friendly way to keep your devices charged, ensuring you stay connected and comfortable in the great outdoors.

Choose equipment that matches your energy needs and fits seamlessly with your vehicle setup.

• Dual Battery Systems: Install a dual battery system to store the energy collected by your vehicle’s alternator while driving and your solar panels when parked. This ensures a steady power supply for your appliances and gadgets, even when the sun isn't shining

• Portable Power Stations: These compact units can store energy from solar panels, vehicle alternators, portable wind turbines, or external chargers, providing a versatile solution for powering your devices and appliances, even in remote locations

2. COOKING AND REFRIGERATION

A well-equipped kitchen is essential for off-grid living. Portable refrigerators keep your food fresh, while compact pull-out kitchens allow you to cook delicious meals wherever you set up camp with a high level of convenience.

• Portable Refrigerators: Select a refrigerator that's energy-efficient and has enough capacity to store your perishables. Consider single or dual-zone models that can be powered by your vehicle's electrical system or solar panels

• Cooking Equipment: Equip your rig with compact and efficient pull-out kitchens or cooking gear like portable gas or multi-fuel stoves, grills, and cookware that can handle the demands of outdoor cooking

EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Assess Your Energy Needs: Determine your power consumption to select the right battery systems

• Balance Efficiency and Comfort: Choose cooking and refrigeration gear that meets your culinary needs without draining your power reserves or taking up unnecessary space in your rig
