Caravanning off the grid is one of the best ways to enjoy Australia’s stunning natural beauty. When you aren’t tied to powered sites, you can explore remote locations and enjoy the freedom of self-sufficiency. However, staying off the grid means you’ll need to plan how to power your caravan.
A van or camper provides the ultimate freedom — a home on wheels that opens up the country for you to explore. However, power from a dual battery system or your car battery uses DC power, which requires DC-power-specific appliances to be useful.
