Our story

It all starts here,

Self employed maintaining, repairing and even rebuilding damaged caravans along with gas and electrical maintenance on canal boats being as i was fully qualified and licenced for Electrical and gas installations since the 1990’s

12 Volts Can Start a Fire: A Sparky’s Guide to Expedition Power

"It's just 12-volt, it can't hurt you."

I hear this all the time. As a qualified electrician, let me tell you: 12-volt DC current, when pushing 300 amps through a loose crimp, acts like a welding torch.

In the caravan world, electrical systems are often an afterthought. In the expedition world, your electrical system is your life support. It runs your water purification, your navigation, your communications, and your heating.

When I wire a habitation box, I treat it like an offshore boat, not a camper.

Vibration is the Enemy:

I don't use solid core wire. I use marine-grade tinned copper (multi-stranded) because it resists corrosion and vibration fatigue. Every connection is crimped with hydraulic tools, not soldered (solder creates brittle points).

• Redundancy is Key:

• One system failure shouldn't kill the trip. If the solar fails, we have DC-DC charging. If that fails, we have a generator input.

  The "Clean" Install:

• You shouldn't need a wiring diagram to figure out what fuse blew. I label every wire, use proper busbars, and oversized cables to prevent voltage drop.

If you are building a truck to go off-grid for weeks, "good enough" wiring isn't good enough.

Water Leaks Sink Ships (and Rot Trucks)

As a licensed plumber and gas fitter in Europe since the 1990’s

I have a simple rule: No hidden joints.

In a standard RV, you often find plastic push-fit connectors buried deep inside walls or under floors. If they vibrate loose, you don't know until the floor rots out.

In my expedition builds, I design the plumbing schematic before I cut a single panel.

Filtration:

You can’t trust the tap water in remote villages or from the well 26 on the canning stock route so I install three-stage filtration systems (Sediment, Carbon, UV) that are industrial grade, not the flimsy plastic ones you buy at a camping store.

Gas Safety:

Propane is heavier than air. If you have a leak in a sealed composite box, the gas pools at the floor. If your "gas locker" isn't perfectly sealed and vented to the atmosphere, you are sleeping on a bomb.

I pressure test every gas line to 2x the working pressure and hold it for 24 hours. Why? Because I sleep better knowing my clients will wake up in the morning.

(all gas installations in Australia are certified by a licenced installer)

The Death of the "Stick and Tin" Camper

For decades, the industry standard was a timber frame wrapped in thin aluminum. It’s heavy, it rots, and it conducts heat like a frying pan.

I first worked on Composite caravans made by Hymer ( who started compost caravans in 1970s)

If you are heading to the desert or the Arctic, you need

Thermal Efficiency.

This is why I exclusively build with closed-cell composite sandwich panels.

No Thermal Bridges:

For habitations traversing the globe our habitation boxes have no metal connecting the outside wall to the inside wall. Metal transfers cold. By eliminating it, we stop condensation. Condensation leads to mold, and mold is a health hazard in a small space.

Australian habitation boxes do not require extreem cold protection therfore we install double glazed quality Rv windows and doors with the option to upgrade if required along with the option to increase the thickness of the walls up to 80mm thick roof & floor up to 100mm thick!

Structural Rigidity:

• The furniture in my builds isn't just screwed into the wall; it is bonded to the structure. The cabinetry becomes part of the integrity of the box.

  Weight Management:

  Every kilogram saved on the structure is a kilogram of water or fuel you can carry.

We aren't building caravans anymore. We are building land-yachts capable of traversing the globe.

And quality is the only currency that matters out there.
