A campervan, or motorhome, is one of the best ways to see the world. It offers a low-cost solution to travelling, while giving you enormous freedom to visit remote locations and explore your country at your own pace. A fully kitted-out caravan means you can avoid expenses like hotel bookings, campsite fees, and restaurant bills, since you essentially have your own little house that contains everything you need.
There are of course challenges that any motorhome owner will have to navigate when first obtaining and renovating their vehicle. You need to ensure it is equipped for you to carry out everyday functions like cooking, cleaning, sleeping, and going to the bathroom. Depending on your specific lifestyle and travel preferences, you may want to build in features like a kitchen, fridge, shower, toilet, and even an entertainment system. But the more of these features you include, the more money it will cost to keep your caravan running.
Although it helps you save money on holiday, extended use of a caravan can lead to high running costs over time. But there are ways to make your budget go further. Solar panels can allow you to charge your battery and other electronic devices and appliances for a much smaller expense.
Here are a few great reasons to consider installing solar panels on your campervan.
Cost: We have a duty to protect the natural environment, and solar panels on your van allow you to do just that. The sun is a free resource, meaning you can charge your battery and run your appliances for a much lower cost than traditional power sources. No more relying on campsites with an electric hookup.
Eco-Friendly: A solar battery charges your battery completely for free, with almost negligible impact on the environment. Be a green campervan owner by investing in a solar panel.
Battery Preservation: Solar panels ensure your battery is constantly being charged as long as you are outside in bright weather. This ensures when left unused for long periods of time, your battery will remain in good condition, extending its lifespan.
Convenience: If you have a solar panel and some good batteries, you have much more freedom to travel off the grid. As long as you are watchful of your power reserves, you can go wherever you want and not have to worry about charging your electronics. The panels and inverter are easy to maintain once installed and don’t take up much space, since they sit on the roof.
