Camper Designs and Alternative Energy : Solar Power to Grid Plans (Kindle Edition)
By Geoff A Tabain
Review & Description
Camper Designs:
There are 18 different camper designs for Slide-on Campers, Truck Campers and Campervans. These 18 designs provide you with a good choice and a range of ideas. Most of the designs are for a removable camper that will suit most small flat tray vehicles, utes, trucks, pickups etc. Equipped with camping and sleeping facilities for two to five the designs are to scale and incorporate fridge, sink, stove, double bed, shower, seating with table, benches and cupboards. There is space provided for a small TV and a small microwave if required with most designs also incorporating an additional single bunk and shower. The designs incorporate some unique aerodynamic features, to reduce drag, and take into consideration weight and weight distribution. The camper designs and wiring diagram are also accompanied by a comprehensive publication covering topics like how to install optional extras such as an auxiliary battery, low voltage isolator, water pumps etc with explanations on the use and advantages of these appliances. Many other camper tips are also included. There is no frame work shown as this may vary depending on the materials used to manufacture the camper eg timber or metal.
Electrical Systems:
This information is mainly on the 12 Volt system which in simple terms explains how the system works and what various components are used for enabling you to design your own circuits.
Alternative Energy:
Explains the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy including solar power, wind and water generators etc and how to determine which is the most efficient and effective method for your needs including connecting your system to the grid. Also explains the different types of lighting systems available and their advantages. Compares the efficiency of different technologies used in some electrical appliances and exposes some of the myths.
How this book came about:
I've spent 9 years on and off writing this publication. I am an automotive electrical mechanic by trade (auto electrician). I did 3 years camping around in a campervan attending camper club rallies and expos along the way. I have designed houses with energy saving concepts, including solar power connected to the grid, a couple of which have been built and I also designed approx 35 slide on campers and campervans. The publication does not contain all of these, just a good variety of styles of the best designs.
Thank you for your time in reading this. Regards Geoff
