So, you want to run a fridge, charge your gear, power your camp lights, and still start your car the next morning? Then you’ll need a dual battery system. We’re breaking down the five steps to design the right dual battery setup to run your gear off-grid. 

For many people wanting to explore further and get away from powered campsites, the idea of heading off grid without the basics can be daunting. Having power in your camping setup lets you stay longer and more comfortably, with cold drinks, fresh food, and lights at night. 

With the Easter long weekend creeping up quickly, it’s the perfect time to make sure your 12V setup is as ready for an Easter getaway as you are. There are a few quick things you should check before you hit the road to make sure you don’t run into any troubles while you’re trying to relax. 

There’s nothing better than pulling up at camp, setting up for the night, and grabbing a cold drink after a long day on the road. But if your setup isn’t right, that dream can quickly turn into a headache. Not only could your fridge switch off and warm up, but you might also find your starter battery flat and your vehicle refusing to turn over.

So, what’s the best way to run a portable fridge in your vehicle without killing your battery?

We built our Toyota Hilux to take us anywhere, and we meant anywhere. From the heat and chaos of Dakar to the cold and windy end of the world: Norway’s North Cape. No hotels, no hookups, just us, our 4x4, and whatever the road (or lack of it) threw at us. To make that work, we needed power we could trust. That’s where REDARC came in.

We all love a camping trip, whether it’s getting away for the weekend with the family or testing your truck out on some tough 4WD tracks. But sometimes a quick camping trip is not enough, and to truly get off grid you're going to need a reliable 12V setup.
