The difference between getting it right and getting it wrong? About $500 to $2,000 in wasted money, plus a system that doesn't actually do what you need.
Everyone says “do your research.” But most of what you'll find is American content that doesn't apply here, forum posts from ten years ago, and brand websites trying to sell you their gear. This guide pulls it all together for Aussie conditions, with recommendations that aren't tied to any brand.
What's inside
Figure out exactly how much power your setup uses each day. Pre-filled examples for common caravan setups so you're not starting from scratch.
Batteries, panels, controllers, inverters, DC-DC chargers. What each one does in plain English, what to buy, and what to skip.
REDARC vs Victron vs Enerdrive vs Renogy. Side-by-side comparison of brands you can actually buy in Australia, with clear recommendations for different budgets.
Ready-to-use lists for weekenders ($1,500), tourers ($3,000-$5,000), and full-timers ($5,000-$8,000+). Take it to the shop.
Use your power audit numbers to calculate exactly what battery, solar, controller, and inverter specs you need. No guessing.
The 7 mistakes that cost people $500 to $2,000. What each one costs, why people make it, and how to avoid every one of them.
