The Victron Solar Controller managers 800 Watts of Solar power.

The 240 Volt circuit breakers and located in a seperate sealed cabinet in the centre top of the board.

There are four (4) Victron Lithium batteries located behind the electrical board. Wildplanet has been working with an IT specialist who has developed the technology to provide a number of touch screens in the module as well as a touch screen fitted in the dashboard of the MAN truck cabin.

Almost all functions can be operated from the trucks dashboard dashboard. Functions such as deploy and retract both awnings, module steps and most module interior and exterior lighting.
The main touch screen is located on the control panel in the module.

FIRST ROAD TEST

The engineering fabrication has been completed and the vehicle was road tested for the first time.  The engineers wanted to know the gross weight at this time of construction.  The weight bridge scales showed a gross weight of 10.2 tonnes. The final wet weight is estimated to be 12.0 tonnes.  The MAN 13.290 handled extremely well with weight over the back axle.

Wildplanet has spent weeks fabricating the lockers. The locker doors open up 170 degrees on gas struts allowing easy access to the enormous storage space. The doors are insulated and are fitted with the same locks as the module hatches. One key opens all the hatches and lockers .
If a locker gets damaged it can be removed and either repaired or replaced as they are bolted to the subframe.
