We solve your power frustrations, without "more batteries" being the default answer.
Most high-end adventure vans come with impressive spec sheets, but aren't always "off-grid ready."
Common frustrations include:
- Slow charging or low alternator output
- Parasitic draws and overnight battery loss
- Air conditioning that shuts off too soon
- Inverters that trip under high load
- Solar that underperforms in cloudy conditions
Our Meticulous Process
We are widely regarded as the best in the industry because we don't guess. We measure and plan.
Every overland and marine electrical system we engineer includes proper circuit protection, clean system architecture, and component sizing based.
Electrical standards
- Marine-grade wiring, fusing, and grounding
- Fully protected and documented circuits
- Battery systems sized to actual usage
- Isolated house electrical systems
We only use premium components (Victron, Redarc, Lithionics, Battle Born, Redarc) that to meet our engineering standards.
DC-DC Power
Standard builds waste energy converting DC to AC and back again. Our DC-to-DC approach saves up to 40% of your power on high-uptime devices like Starlink and fridges. It’s like adding half a battery's worth of runtime without the weight or cost.
Stay off-grid longer by stopping power leaks at the source.
Solar Optimization
It’s not the panels; it’s the plumbing. We replace light-gauge factory wiring and optimize series/parallel configurations to maximize harvest in PNW low-light conditions.
Charge Batteries Faster
Gain more charge from driving short distances.
Make a 20-minute drive actually mean something. We update charging circuits and alternator performance so your short trips to the trailhead provide a meaningful charge.
- Alternator upgrades
- DCDC charge controller
- Pedal controller for better RPM response

Battery Bank Expansion & Tuning
The "off-the-shelf" capacity in a Ekko, Revel, or GH1 can be a bottleneck. When your use case demands long off-grid stays, multiple high-load devices, or redundancy for safety gear (CPAPs, medical devices, etc.), additional batteries might be the answer.
Our installations include:
- Battery selection and placement
- Proper mounting, wiring, and safety hardware
- Battery monitoring and management systems
High-Load Appliances
Cook with multiple devices or run the AC for extended periods.
Efficient replacements for longer run times on:
- High-capacity inverters
- Air conditioning, microwaves, induction cooktops, tools, and more
- Power distribution that manages loads without sacrificing safety
System Forensic Audits
If your dealer can't find the 'mystery' drain, we will. Our engineers perform forensic audits to find the root cause that factory service centers miss.
The Engineering Consultation
High-performance electrical work requires a blueprint. To maintain our standard of excellence, all custom projects begin with a Engineering Consultation.
Our team of Electrical Engineers specializes in diagnosing and perfecting the power systems for Sprinter and Transit vans.
With a combined 50+ years of engineering expertise among three engineers, we understand these platforms' proprietary architectures better than most.
