Lithium Essentials

You LOVE your caravan, this 24v upgrade could be what makes your caravan even better

Starting with the solar
We mapped and planned the best way to maximise the available roof space, allowing us to install 1790W of solar on 3 strings to ensure maximum efficiency even during low sun / shaded periods. Mounted on the signature Lithium Essentials powder coated aluminium brackets with the Lithium Essentials Wind deflector kit on the leading eddge of this solar array

Giving this van the power it needs to supply the appilances these customers use, we have installed a 3000|70 Victron Multiplus II and a Liftek 330Ah 24V lithium battery = 8.4KwH

Supporting the huge solar array are 3 Victron Smart Solar Mppt solar controllers and the addition of a 1400 Vicron Orion DC-Dc Charger

This full system and the water tanks are all monitored via the Cerbo GX + Touch70 display screen.
The cherry on top, this system in fully intergrated with Starlink and remote monitoring no matter where this van is in Australia

🏜️ DESIGNED FOR EXTENDED REMOTE TRAVEL

You’ve seen this caravan time and time again… and now the time has come for us to hand it over to a new family. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This caravan was purpose-built around one thing — family life on the road.

Designed to comfortably accommodate a family of four, with the power, storage and practical features needed to spend extended periods travelling Australia and living off-grid.

⚡️ 10kWh of lithium storage
⚡️ 48V Victron power system
⚡️ 6000W Victron inverter
⚡️ 2080W of rooftop solar

The power system has been designed to make off-grid living feel much less like “roughing it”. Run your everyday household appliances from the batteries and inverter — even multiple appliances at once, including the air conditioner, dishwasher and Thermomix.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious family-friendly layout with:

Large kitchen with generous overhead storage
Full-height pantry
6-place dishwasher using just 7L per wash Straight lounge with a larger-than-standard dining table
Dedicated kids’ bunk area Individual toy boxes for each bunk
Plenty of cupboard space for toys, homeschooling resources & everything else family life brings
3kg washing machine capable of running while off-grid
Additional linen storage

And that’s just the start.

This van is packed with extras, accessories and practical additions that have been chosen from years of actually living and travelling in it.

It’s not a caravan that’s been designed to sit in a park.

It was designed to get out there.

Remote camps. Long stays. Big distances. Family life on the road.

All that’s left to do is hitch up and go. 🚐🏜️

📍 Located in Victoria

⚡️24v Power Upgrade⚡️

Another 24v system ready for handover
We cannot wait to show everyone how this 2015 Traveller Caravan turned out and how much solar we put on this roof

As always, the Lithium Essentials system design process starts with a consultatuion. We take the time to understand how you travel and use your caravan. Measurements are taken of the roof space so Mitch can map out the best solar solution for your caravan and your power system

Stay in the loop by following Lithium Essentials
If you would like a system quoted for your caravan, give us a call on Monday or submit an email enquiry via the Lithium Essentials website

🎄 Remember the last holidays?

Remember packing up the caravan, heading home and thinking…

“We really need to get that sorted before the next trip.”

Maybe it was the Anderson plug that wasn’t charging the batteries properly.

Maybe the Anderson was slowly draining the car battery while you were parked up.

Maybe there was a wiring issue you noticed, an upgrade you wanted to do, or something that just didn’t quite work the way it should.

And then the new year rolled in and… life happened.

Christmas is creeping up, the caravan is coming out if storage, and that little electrical problem is still sitting there waiting to be actioned

Leaving your electrical to chance is enough to start the holiday period on the wrong foot.

Lithium Essentials has booking availability at the beginning of December for towing electrical, Anderson circuits and touring upgrades.

Bookings fill fast, so give us a call to book in your upgrades ASAP

Better get it sorted before the presents are packed, the kids are buckled in and you're halfway down the Highway ⚡

"It's was a ticking time bomb, waiting to go off"

A stock standard power system that did not perform like the brochures said it would
Instead they got fuses that would burn out, charging that would not charge and a management system that was confusing and a hard to use.

Here's where Lithium Essentials comes in
Starting with a consultation with Helen & John we take the time to understand what the customers want out of their power system, what style of travel they enjoy and what concerns them most about the current power system
We then design and quote a system that will perform as the user requires it to perform.

Helen & John now have a 24v Victron Energy power system with a roof full of solar, 310Ah of lithium battery and a clear understanding of how what their power system is doing.

They can now travel as they planned to when they purchased the caravan. "You saved our caravan"

Thank you Helen & John, we wish you safe & happy travels 🌞

New additions and FULL SYSTEMS in progress

Rounding out the week with the boys getting on with the 3 full systems we have in the workshop

The Jayco Optimum is in the final planning stage
The Traveller had the 240 hooked up today
