Check out this off-grid installation in a Moto-Trek motorhome! 🚐⚡

For this setup, we installed a complete Victron Energy power system alongside a huge lithium upgrade to give the customer reliable off-grid capability wherever their adventures take them.

This installation included:

🔋 Victron Energy Blue Smart Battery Charger 30A
⚡ Victron Energy Orion XS 50A DC-DC Charger
☀️ Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Controller 100/30
🔌 Victron Energy Phoenix Pure Sine Wave Inverter 3000VA
🔋 Fogstar Drift 300Ah Lithium Leisure Battery

The best part? Everything was neatly tucked away in the original underfloor battery compartment for a clean and factory-style finish 👌

Ready for serious off-grid adventures! 🌍🏕️

A damp repair completed on this Elddis Affinity caravan! 🚐🔧

Unfortunately, these caravans are known for the front panel cracking, which can lead to serious water ingress issues over time.

For this repair, we completely stripped the front end and carried out a full rebuild, including:

🪵 Removing all rotten timber
🛠️ Replacing all structural timber
🧱 Installing new internal wall board
🪟 Fitting new window rubbers
🔨 Repairing the front ABS panel
🎨 Replacing the original graphics

Now it’s back together and looking as good as new…
(or maybe even better than new 😎)

Another lithium install completed in another lovely Bailey motorhome! 🚐⚡

The customer had already purchased 2 x 180Ah lithium leisure batteries, but soon realised the original charging system just wasn’t up to the job.

So we upgraded the setup with:

🔋 Votronic Triple Charger
⚡ NDS 3000W Inverter
🔄 NDS Priority Switch

Now this motorhome is fully equipped and ready for some serious off-grid adventures! 🌍🏕️

If you’re upgrading to lithium, make sure your charging system is designed to handle it properly.

🚐 Does your camper van or self-build have a gas locker?

🔥 Is your gas system tested and safe?
🛠️ Are your appliances — and their safety features — working correctly?

Gas systems in camper vans should always include:

✔️ Room-sealed gas bottle storage with drop-out ventilation
✔️ Proper straps or brackets securing the gas bottle
✔️ Copper or steel pipework outside of the gas locker only
✔️ Gas drop vents at all joins and connections

⚠️ We regularly come across gas installations that are unsafe and, in some cases, extremely dangerous — even ones fitted by so-called “professional converters.”

Don’t take the risk.

✅ We offer gas safety checks and professional gas installations to make sure your setup is safe, compliant, and reliable.

👉 Your safety — and peace of mind — should always come first.

📩 Get in touch today to book your check!

Sometimes it’s good to pick fault. 🔍

In an industry full of “professionals” and self-builds, being picky and a perfectionist is actually our green flag. It’s what keeps standards high and customers safe.

We ask the important questions:
✔️ Is your gas system up to standard and safe to use?
✔️ Are your electrics safe and properly installed?
✔️ Is your vehicle structurally sound and free from water ingress?

We’re not afraid to deliver the bad news if something isn’t right – because we’re even more committed to finding practical, reasonably priced solutions to fix it.

While we stay competitive on price, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile for safety and reliability.

With the sun finally appearing and camping season beginning ☀️🚐
Make sure your campervan, motorhome, or caravan is safe and ready for the adventures ahead.

📩 Get in touch today for:
• Upgrades
• Repairs
• Habitation checks
• Servicing

Because safety and reliability are the key to a great adventure.
