FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about complete off-grid electrical upgrades for caravans, motorhomes and canopies.

Have you recently bought a second-hand van and need to upgrade your electrical system?

We specialise in complete off-grid system upgrades for second-hand caravans, motorhomes and canopies. Tell us about your van via our contact form and we will call back if the project is a fit.

Need more from your van or canopy for off-grid camping?

We design and install complete 12V off-grid systems — lithium batteries, solar, BMS, inverter and full integration — so you can tour independently with reliable power.

What does a complete off-grid system upgrade include?

A typical complete upgrade includes lithium battery storage, solar panels and charge controllers, a battery management system, pure sine wave inverter, DC-DC charging, distribution and circuit protection, and integration with your existing van systems.

Do you service Newcastle and the Hunter Valley?

Yes. Offroad Electrics is based in Mayfield West, Newcastle and services Newcastle & Hunter Valley, NSW. Consultations can be on-site or at our workshop.

Do you do accessories-only or general auto electrical work?

No. We focus exclusively on complete off-grid system upgrades for caravans, motorhomes and canopies — not general auto electrics or accessories-only jobs.

How long does a complete off-grid upgrade take?

Timeframes depend on the scope of your system and workshop schedule. After your consultation and quote, we agree on a drop-off date and estimated completion before work begins.

Can I supply my own parts?

Yes. We provide a detailed component recommendation with your quote. You can supply your own parts from that list, or we can supply everything for a turnkey install.

Do you review tow vehicle charging as part of the upgrade?

Yes. When you upgrade through Offroad Electrics, we review your tow vehicle electrical setup to ensure compatibility — Anderson plugs, DC-DC charging and integration are handled as part of the overall system design.

What vehicle types do you install on?

We install complete off-grid systems on caravans, motorhomes and canopies. We do not take on regular cars, boats or general auto electrical work.

Where is your workshop located?

Our workshop is at Riverside Drive, Steel River, Mayfield West, NSW 2304. We service customers across Newcastle & Hunter Valley, NSW.
