Solar panels can be fitted by a solar panel supplier, to the top of the van to back up the mains supply if you are planning a long trip. However this off-road hard floor camper trailer is fitted with a batter charger and inverter which are located inside the camper trailer, along with two 120 amp hour batteries. These are charged as you are driving along by the aid of an Anderson plug which you will need to fit to your vehicle. If you are standing still the batteries will generally last for up to 4 days, without the aid of a generator or solar panel. So if you are planning a long stay in one area, I would recommend purchasing a generator and / or solar panels as back-up, as they complement the power set-up from camps away from mains power.
The camper trailer has a 12 volt electrical system that runs throughout the main structure, with the allocation of two x 240 volt power plug outlets for your convenience; if running off the 240 volt power inlet. These are very handy if you need to use an electrical appliance, such as a toaster, hairdryer or laptop. If you are not set-up at a powered caravan site, then you can use the generator to power this up instead.
