When camping and 4WDing in remote areas, well away from the conveniences of civilized society, it is important to be somewhat self-sufficient. There are many things that need to be considered when getting your gear setup for these remote locations, one of the most important is having access to reliable and alternative power source, like an efficient solar power setup and or a reliable 4 stroke generator.

With dozens of options available on the market, some being much less affordable than many campers budgets can reach, there are few choices that offer the same excellent value for money found in the Adventure Kings range. But the price isn’t everything, function and reliability are two of the most critical features you should look for when sizing up, your auxiliary power sources for camp.

SOLAR

With many recent advances in photovoltaic technology, solar panels are becoming more and more efficient and now offer a viable alternative to just running extra batteries under the bonnet. By implementing a properly calculated auxiliary power source, the size of a second battery or battery bank can be dramatically reduced.

When you have figured out the 12v power draw of your camping setup it is important to work out what kind of power supply can meet your demand.

160W Panel

With a Kings 160w Solar Panel, you have the ability to output a massive 8.75A which over 9hrs of sunshine (during winter solstice) will give you a massive 78.75AH of battery charging potential. Even when running a massive 80L Fridge/Freezer, with an average 2 Amps of current, you will only use 48ah of battery leaving just over 30AH of spare power, perfect for your LED camp lighting.
250W Panel

With a Kings 250w solar panel the usable output nearly doubles with 13.8A of usable amperage resulting in over 124.2AH of battery charge. When considering the same load of an 80L Fridge/Freezer equaling 48AH over a 24hour period, you are left with a massive 76AH of usable charging capacity left for all of your other 12v accessories, which is much greater than many people usually require.

CAMPSITE GENERATOR

Considering a 4WD alternator can output over 100Amps (sometimes more reasonably up to around 120 Amps), if you are running a bunch of power hungry accessories, you may exceed the amps that a solar panel setup can provide throughout the day, the other issue you may encounter is cloudy days, or even days where you get to camp late, meaning your auxiliary battery may not stay topped up with additional power enough to run all of your power thirsty creature comforts as easily as you’d like.

Fear not a 240v camping generator may be just the ticket for your remote campsite setup… Offering mains power for many home appliances, cooking, lighting and even running your 12v refrigeration.

2000w Generator

This energy efficient Adventure Kings 2000w Generator offers excellent durability and portability. Built with a 100cc 4 stroke powerhouse at its core, this generator includes a pure sine wave inverter that offers clean and safe power output suitable for operating, whilst also offering eco mode, an automatic rpm adjust to suit the power demands on the unit.

The 4 stroke reliability using a pushrod operated O.H.V. valve train, and CDI ignition. Operation is simple, just add 91 octane fuel, engage the choke, pull the ripcord and you are off.

3500W Colossus generator

Similar to the massive 2000w Kings generator, the Kings 3500W Colossus Generator offers an additional 1500W of power output, this unit is perfect for all the additional power that power-hungry caravans require including enough juice to power up caravan air conditioners.

This unit is powered by a massive 149.5cc 4 Stroke OHC motor for more power output, but coupled with the same auto RPM adjusting ECO mode, and 12/240V output provided by the pure sine wave voltage regulating circuitry.

With affordable and easy to use self-sufficient remote area power supplies that are both affordable, and practical for long range travel, it’s easy to see why Adventure Kings has taken the Australian camping and 4WDing market by storm.

Adventure Kings offers more than just easy to swallow price tags, but also top quality performance that is reliable for no matter where you are, for plenty of power, no sweat!
