POWERING FULL-TIME TRAVEL & CREATIVE WORK | How Bound for Nowhere Stay Charged Anywhere with REDARC
MAK and Owen are full-time filmmakers, photographers, and adventure storytellers who have been living on the road since 2016. Under the brand Bound for Nowhere, they travel North America and the world in search of beautiful landscapes and inspiring stories, creating content from some of the most remote locations across the globe.
After four years of life on the road, much of it spent working in coffee shops and libraries, they were ready for a change. The lack of reliable power limited their ability to work where they camped, forcing them to leave remote locations daily just to keep their gear charged.
The Challenge
MAK and Owen needed a dependable off-grid power system that could keep up with the demands of both travel and creative work.
Their power requirements included:
- Charging multiple cameras and drones for filmmaking and photography
- Running a fridge full-time for extended trips
- Powering laptops and other work essentials for full remote days
- Operating interior lighting and electronics without draining battery reserves
Without a system they could trust, their productivity and ability to remain in remote locations for long periods were compromised.

The Solution
To meet their needs, MAK and Owen went with a complete REDARC power system, installed at the Four-Wheel Campers factory for seamless integration from day one:
- Manager30 Battery Management System: Delivers charging to their auxiliary battery from the alternator and solar.
- TVMS Rogue & RedVision Display: Allows them to monitor and control their electrical system directly from their phone or the onboard display.
- 180W Fixed Solar Panel + 240W Solar Blanket: Ensures constant charging capability at camp, even during extended stays without the car moving.
This combination provided a centralized, efficient, and reliable power solution tailored to the demands of a full-time travel and content creation lifestyle.

With REDARC powering their setup, MAK and Owen no longer have to plan their days around where the closest library or coffee shop is. They can now work from their camper in remote locations for extended periods, reducing travel time and increasing productivity.
- Full days of creative work without leaving camp
- Reliable charging for all film and photography gear
- Freedom to stay in remote, off-grid locations longer
