Upgrades

During our 8 years of enjoying our Romahome, we have made several improvements including:
  • Upgrading the leisure battery to 130Ah to allow for full independence, off-grid camping or using campsites without electric pitches
  • Adding 2 x 100W solar panels to provide off-grid power, year-round.  This is in addition to the split charger which charges the leisure battery while driving.
  • Adding a Fiamma 280mm roof vent to provide additional rear ventilation without raising the roof
  • Converting all interior lights to LED to minimise power consumption
  • Adding 2 USB ports for charging phones, cameras and other devices
  • Adding a further four 12V individually-fused power sockets for powering laptop etc 
  • Fiddy ceramic fuses replaced by simple blades fuses for easy maintentance while away
  • Lashing points added for safety to secure bulky items in rear eg bikes, mini 12V freezer, porta potti toilet placed in aisle
