Electronics & Electrical for Caravans

Heading off on your next big adventure around Australia? Make sure your caravan and RV are set up with the right caravan electrical components. From short trips to long stays off-grid, the right gear makes all the difference.

We’ve got 12v fans, lighting, trailer plugs, solar panels and more. Whether you’re setting up from scratch or adding a few extras, you’ll find what you need to stay powered and in control out on the road.

What caravan electrical parts do I need for off-grid travel?

If you’re planning an off-grid adventure in Australia, you’ll need the right caravan electrical components to stay powered. The basics include a good battery, a solar panel, an inverter and the right wiring to tie it all together.

A solar setup helps keep things charged when you’re away from mains power. Add a battery monitor and a charger to help manage your power as you go. Some caravanners go with fixed gear while others prefer portable kits they can move around. It all depends on how you like to travel.

What’s the difference between 12v and 240v systems in a caravan?

A 12v system is what most caravan and RV travellers use when they’re off-grid. It powers your lights, fans and small appliances. It’s great for remote travel and short stays around Australia.

A 240v system is for bigger gear that needs more power. You’ll use it when you’re plugged into mains or running a generator. Both systems can work together if your caravan electrical components are set up right. It just depends on how you plan your adventure.

Can I install caravan electrical gear myself?

Some caravan electrical components are easy enough to fit yourself. Swapping out a plug or light can be a simple DIY job if you’re handy with tools.

But for bigger installations like chargers, breakaway systems or switchboards, or when you aren't confident doing it yourself, it’s best to get a professional to do the work.

How do I choose the right solar panel for my caravan?

It depends on what you need to power. Lights and small gear use less. Fridges and air conditioners need more. Look at the size and wattage before you choose.

Fixed panels suit most roofs. Portable panels are good if you move around a lot. Add a deep-cycle battery and a charger to keep things steady. Check out our guide for the best solar panel for caravan
