Equipment for RV

The sunny days are coming, and you will undoubtedly prepare your RVs for the summer season, but what equipment should you choose to improve your comfort? To help you in your choice, we will offer you 3 categories of equipment in the fields of energy, cooking, and comfort, here are their details:

Equipment for a Camper Van

Solar panel kits for RVs

They will allow you to be easily autonomous and power your electrical and electronic accessories. They have excellent efficiency and take up very little space. They have a power range from 75 W to 170 W.

Generators

A generator is a device that allows for autonomy and high performance. The generators offered are portable and fairly quiet. However, it will always depend on fuel for its operation.

Fuel cells

A true advancement in ecological products, the fuel cell operates on methanol, which transforms into hydrogen to produce the required energy. This cell also has very good energy efficiency, guaranteeing you about thirty days of autonomy.

Accessories for camper van kitchen

In general, you will need devices that can operate on 12 V to use them with a cigarette lighter socket. Such as a portable microwave oven or a coffee maker. This way, you won't have to use standard electrical outlets.

Portable barbecues

Of course, there are no camping holidays without a barbecue. We distinguish 2 categories of portable barbecue. The first is the gas or propane barbecue (the most common) which is easy to use, compact, and will follow you anywhere. For the more eco-friendly among you, there are solar barbecues. This is one of the oldest practices in the world, now seen as innovative. They will allow you to have performance and ecological use.

Built-in fridges

These portable refrigerators are compact, very economical, and resistant to vibrations. They use compression technology, which allows them increased performance and use on a solar system. Conversely, if you do not wish to have a built-in refrigerator, there are portable fridges. They use the same technology as the built-ins but are more resistant to heat and do not fear inclinations. Finally, they are energy-efficient.

Combined sinks for camper vans

They are a very practical solution. This allows you to have a stainless steel sink and burners that you can power with butane and propane gas. They have the advantage of being built-in and come in different shapes.

Camper van air conditioners

Air conditioners are the best way to maintain a pleasant temperature in your vehicle during summer. Generally, they can also be installed in a converted van. Finally, there are reversible air conditioners to maintain either coolness or warmth depending on the weather.

Camper van televisions

They will keep you company on rainy days. The particularity of these televisions is that they can operate on 12V and 220V. They are generally more resistant than traditional televisions and better withstand vibrations as well as extreme conditions.

A camping water heater

There are different water heaters, electric or gas, and you can even find hybrids (electric and gas). Finally, it should be noted that some water heaters have the ability to also provide heating.

A camper van tank

The tank is the essential sanitary element for wastewater or clean water. Sizes and shapes vary from 30 liters to 100 liters to best fit your vehicle. There are also tanks specific to Citroën, Fiat brand vehicles...
