Just want to say Luke and team... really appreciate you doing these types of vids, as well as the vids walking viewers through your various vans. I've sold my old camper trailer and looking to upgrade.... it's this type of customer service/consideration (as well as being Aussie made) that keeps me coming back to AOR as my next upgrade. Keep the vids coming. Cheers 🍻
Our new builds meet the latest battery regulations. Any older trailers that after November 2023 have changes to their charging systems must comply with the new standard battery and solar requirements. We can't disclose the standards publicly due it is copyrighted material licensed to SAI global caravan industry association of Australia.
Note, this new regulations are not retrospective but these fault-containment design features are very important and people should consider ways to upgrade their existing lithium battery installations on any make or model of camper or caravan.
Thanks for your comment. We are doing this the same way we do our gas bottle compartment which we do not have issues with and have been doing this for many years. We are running the hose towards the rear of the trailer which prevents scooping water in. This hose comes up into the box and is then roughly 40mm higher than the floor which is already around 600mm off the ground. If you are moving through water we do not see you having any issues, we just do not advise stopping in water higher than 600mm if possible. We cannot fit valves or covers to this hose as it would impact the venting aspect so we have done everything we can to comply with the regulations with as little impact as possible on our trailer’s performance.
The new legislation is the AS/NZS 3001.2 electrical installations- connectable electrical installations and supply arrangements. Unfortunately we cannot send a link to the standards as this is for manufacturers only. It is copyrighted material licensed to SAI global caravan industry association of Australia (they have stated that distribution, storage or use on a network is prohibited). Hope this helps!
@@DIY12-24v which I can't see being possible to police for DIY installers provided your van has a pre Nov 23 build date. Imagine insurance companies might end up adding a clause to place burden of proof on the owner of older systems to show when the install was done.
