AMAZONAS Power Hook

Product Information

The Club recommends you bring a 25m cable with you. A pitch with electrical hook-up will have an electrical supply bollard within about 20 metres. Each Club hook-up bollard is individually protected against overload by a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and a residual current device (RCD). pin (also referred to as 12 N-type plugs) are commonplace among older caravans and offer a moderate level of functionality for caravans while being towed.

However, a 230V mains appliance taking a 1A supply from an invertor will require 20A from the battery, which can cause the battery to discharge rapidly and overload the 12V wiring system. It is also important to remember to take the same safety precautions with a 230V supply from an invertor as with a normal 230V mains supply. Generators

Finally

When connecting the probe tip to an AC voltage it automatically becomes an instant AC voltmeter along with the measured frequency. It measures from 0 to 99.9 volts and beyond 250KHz... With the HOOK managing all meter adjustments you stay focused on the task at hand. It's Powerful... Our set-up consists of 2 of these 110Ah Xtreme AGM Batteries wired in parallel to total 220Ah. Don’t sweat the wiring for now; that comes later.

Just keep in mind that electrics are not to be taken lightly. Make a mistake, and it can mess up your entire system. Or worse, cause a fire and put you in a potentially dangerous situation. If your total amperage exceeds the hook-up’s maximum supply rating, consider switching some of your appliances off. It’s also worth noting that some appliances (like fan heaters) demand a higher current to start up before returning Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) – The oldest type of battery on this list and one I would avoid. Largely because they require a lot of maintenance and are potentially dangerous when overcharged. Getting that right means finding an installer you trust or speaking to people who’ve done a successful DIY job.

ADJUSTABLE CIRCUIT BREAKER - Can be adjusted and set from 2 amps to 65 amps. This feature lets you work in sensitive circuits to heavy loads with confidence. Once you’ve decided on the type of battery you want, all that’s left is to finalise the amount of power you need. But the evolution continued. We came across the new Dometic CFX3range of compressor fridges. They looked cool and they set the grey matter into overdrive…how to maintain the off-grid experience and operate the CFX.

Motorhomes are a little different from caravans in that they have two batteries — one for driving (vehicle battery) and another for everything else (leisure battery) Vehicle battery Do you want your van to be set up for off-grid living? If yes, you will likely need some kind of solar power system. What devices and appliances will you be powering? This will determine how much battery power you need and consequently how powerful your system needs to be. The thing with motorhome electrical systems or camper builds, in general, is that there is no one size fits all. This electrical supply can be used either directly to power 230V equipment or indirectly via a power supply unit that converts the mains power at 230V AC to a nominal 12V DC, usually in conjunction with a leisure battery. This guide looks at how to use this electricity supply safely and discusses its limitations. Safety is paramount

Your supply cable

The key number is the mAH (milli-ampere hour). You’ll find powerbanks as low as 1,000mAH and as high as 30,000mAH. The higher the number, the more charge you’ll get, but the trade-off is weight and size. Some airlines won’t allow very high-powered battery banks. Remember also that most appliances you use will have been designed for the domestic environment and may therefore be vulnerable to condensation. Maintenance If the thought of installing your electrics system has you in fits of nervous sweats, you are not alone. The trouble is, the internet is like a rabbit hole. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the multitude of (often conflicting) information.

The available power from continental hook-up points will often be less than the UK and a supply as little as 5A or 6A is common. If you’re not getting any power to your caravan or motorhome when relying on the leisure battery — even after you’ve been charging it for a substantial amount of time — then there could be a fault causing it to drain. Camping in Europe can offer a few additional challenges to UK campers. Fortunately, with the coming of standardisation within the European Union, voltage supply problems are fewer than before. We had little to no experience in DIY, joining, electrics, or any of the other skills that go into campervan builds. So to say it was a tough feat is an understatement. The leisure battery is charged when you plug your caravan into the mains. It can also be charged by solar panels or generators, but you’ll usually have to install and connect these yourself.
