Trailer and Camping
With such a wide range of generators on the market though, it can be seriously tricky to figure out which one is going to be right for your needs. Here’s everything you need to consider when choosing a caravan; from your caravan size to power needs, to alternative 12v options for popular appliances. When it comes to powering your caravan off-grid there’s no doubt that a well set up solar power, lithium battery and inverter system is the most convenient, easy and long-lasting power solution. However we understand that a setup like this can be a big investment.
Easy to deal with ,but still havent received My item as the delivery company says they have major delays !!

With the tank drained and the vent closed, I do not detect any petrol fumes as I open the box. A friend has recently bought a Honda and straps it in immediately behind the passenger seat of his MH. He drains the tank and closes the vent before it goes in the MH. He was concerned about the possibility of fumes but so far has not detected any, even after the MH has been closed up for a couple of days.
You should be able to see the number plate from 45 degrees up, down, and side to side, and if your new box obstructs this, you could be in for a fine by the police. Our Reconn R2 has two mounts on the rear, for spare tyres, so we know that its suitable for at least the weight of a steel wheel and tyre, and likely even more. When we are at camp, we generally keep our rubbish bag in here as its easy to access, relatively dust and waterproof and easy to use.
A popular position to mount your caravan tool box is on your draw bar. There is a massive range of caravan draw bar storage boxes available for this application. A massive selection of configurations to suit caravans, pop-tops, hybrids, and camper trailers is available. Opt to move your gas bottles to inside the box, or retain on the outside. If you are moving your gas bottles on your caravan make sure to consult with a licenced gas fitter.
At BCF, our inverter generators produce electricity in pure sine wave format, meaning continuous smooth waves. An inverter generator automatically adjusts its engine speed to the electrical load rather than a constant speed no matter the load size. Enmach Industries is a renowned leader in the design and manufacture of quality engineered poly moulded and steel fabricated products. A lot of caravanners want to run a caravan air conditioner while off grid with no access to 240v power.
It is legal to carry petrol on the rear of a caravan – I have checked this with both the WA Police and the WA Mines Department. As far as mounting a generator on the rear bumper.....well it is explicitly illegal to carry petrol in any type of container on the rear of a vehicle. No 'van should be loaded and towed with a precise balance each trip because it is dynamic and can change at times....water tanks full / empty etc. As is the situation with bikes, you need to assess whether or not the amount of use you will get out of a generator is worth the headaches of carrying one on your caravan. There will be a lot of new caravan owners out there right now thinking about the accessories they want to fit to their vans and what gear they want to carry.
Just a little to get the family home - and the lot was gone into their car". I have a 2.4 KVA genset, its weatherproof enclosure and 2 x 20 litre Jerry cans on the rear bumper of my caravan. It’s not a matter of “you can’t do this or that” but the speed you travel, how big your tow vehicle is in comparison to the van, how the whole setup is balanced etc. We are confident in the durability of our products, so should anything happen in this period, the original purchaser can make a warranty claim. When purchasing a generator, it's important that you first determine the amount of power required to not only run the appliance you wish to use, but the power required to start them. Some appliances require a starting power that can be up to 5x the running power (e.g., a drill that operates on 600W may need 900W starting power).
If you have sway issues, most of the time they can be remedied by moving any heavy items towards the axles, and down low. The tool box is constructed from 2.5mm thickness aluminium checker plate material. These superb quality heavy duty aluminium checker-plate tool boxes are fitted with a heavy duty T handle keyed lock. Our team is qualified to provide a range of services on your caravan, motor home or recreational vehicle. These services include repairs, pink slips, insurance repairs, electrical, plumbing, carpentry work, solar systems, chassis alignment, waterproofing, sheet metal fabrication and internal alterations.
The Pramac P2000i petrol generator is built with a Yamaha MZ80 engine in a suitcase style body. It has a maximum output of 2kVA and is powerful enough to run appliances like a microwave, camping fridge, small aircon, kettle, television, and more. As with most camping generators, this set is built with inverter technology to be used with laptops, phones, tablets and other sensitive equipment. The generator runs a little bit louder than the Yamaha, at 59dB at 7m - imagine a restaurant or your office background noise.
Lockable, painted, however you need it, we can design and create the right box for you. Outlets – What you plan on running with your generator is the key! No matter what generator you choose, it's important to check that it has enough outlets, and even more importantly, the right outlets.
Make sure you need one – as a lot of National Parks won’t let you use them. But if you do a lot of free camping – especially in summer then you will need one. And know how much it weighs and what effect that will have on the balance of your caravan. So if you’re taking bikes to your caravan, be fully aware of what they weigh. And be aware on the effect they will have on adding weight to your caravan and the difference it will make to your tow ball weight.
So whatever your needs are – from lighting to personal appliances or small power tools – with the Dune range you get both convenience and safety. Above all else, it is important to determine what the generator will be used to power. Maybe power small appliances such as a coffee machine or microwave? Or will be powering larger items such as a refrigerator or air conditioner?
