This motorhome needed a lot more power than the standard lead-acid battery setup it left the factory with... and that's exactly what it got.
We installed a Fogstar 230Ah 24V Drift lithium battery, and fitting everything in was a challenge worthy of a whacker plate! Don't worry though, we made sure the Victron Multiplus had multiple ventilation routes to maintain optimal cooling and performance.

Along the way, we added a few home comforts too, including extra 240V outlets, USB sockets, Starlink connectivity, and plenty of cable management to keep everything neat and accessible. The result? A motorhome that feels even more like home.
To keep those batteries topped up on off-grid adventures, we also fitted a huge 460W solar panel, working alongside the factory-fitted solar setup to provide reliable charging wherever the road leads.

This T25 camper came in for some electrical upgrades, and the difference is clear.

We upgraded the existing lead-acid battery system to lithium, along with installing lithium-compatible charging equipment. This setup will give the customer far greater off-grid capability and more freedom to enjoy extended camping trips without worrying about power.
Along the way, we carried out some cable management and made a few safety improvements to ensure the system is both tidy and reliable.

Due to multiple skylights on the roof, a fixed solar installation wasn't the best option for this van. Instead, the customer chose a fold-out solar panel setup, so we installed a remote solar connection point. Once camp is set up, they can simply deploy the panel and start generating power.

For this build we teamed up with Adrift Conversions to install an amazing electrical system to complement the incredible workmanship of their van builds. And what a team we made.

With the thoroughly thought-out design of the internals of the van, down to the quirky space-saving features and a serious off-grid electrical set-up, this van is absolutely perfect — and guess what... It's for sale!
We pulled out all the stops on this one, down to having automatic temperature-controlled heat pads on the water tank to stop the water freezing on those colder adventures, and wireless gas level sensors paired into the Cerbo — the features are endless.

With the Fogstar Drift 300Ah keeping the lights on, this customer is going to notice a serious difference. They wanted the best of both worlds — a hybrid on/off-grid setup without needing mains power when they're out in the wild. With solar and DC-DC charging in the mix, the adventures really are endless, and the IP22 hook-up charger gives them that peace-of-mind backup for those cosy campsite visits.

Now with the fogstar 100ah upfront and some major upgrades including now having EHU, their weekends away can be spent enjoying themselves knowing they have all the power they need!

Electrical board and 1st fix wiring completed on this van last week. Another smaller but none the less mighty system. With the 100ah Fogstar battery keeping things powered up and enough solar to keep that battery going this is a serious set up!

Making sense of this nest of cables was no easy task. But the difference is incredible! Stripping the system back to the bare minimum and adding in some decent upgrades along the way this customers new system is not only MUCH safer but now looks the part too!

With the Fogstar Battery powering this offgrid set up and the combined victron parts making the trips much more user friendly and for much longer periods of time!

This Lithium upgrade was ready to have the JC Auto Electrical touch, from cables just floating around, random isolators that didn't do anything and unfused cables, this was becoming a recipe for disaster.

We ripped all the old electrical system out and started again including some lovely upgrades along the way. Now this customer can enjoy their trips away with a system that they dont have to worry about.

2026 seems to be the year for Lithium upgrades, this customer came to us finding that they had to cut their holidays short or find a campsite to plug into hook up!

Not anymore! We always suprise ourselves making these systems fit into the space we have, yet we always manage to make it work! With 4x more battery storage than they came to us with over less footprint and some nice upgrades along the way, this customer can enjoy their extended trips away without looking for the next campsite!
