- Your fridge, lights and water pump are kept charged through the solar panels so you so not have to rely on a powered site in a Caravan Park.

- You do not have to flick any switches to convert power if plugging into a powered site in a C/van park.

- The volt meter to check solar charge is located in Camper Van next to fridge. This should always be seen in the green section.
