RV REVIEW
POWER UP
The Scorpion Sting offers another genuine point of difference : the electrical system . It comes with a 5kW EcoFlow power system , which equates to about 416Ah of usable energy , along with a 3600W inverter that ’ s wired to all 240V powerpoints throughout . During our time with the van , we were able to boil the kettle and run the reverse-cycle AC unit without plugging into mains .
The included control panel provides your energy usage in watts , while also allowing you to operate the lights throughout . At the press of a digital button , you can also isolate the system entirely . Further , you can control everything from a smartphone app .
All of this battery capacity is going to need some serious solar input . To that end , the Scorpion Sting has four 200W panels on the roof , and of course the battery system can be charged off mains power as well .
In the rear , you ’ ll find three bunks in the nearside corner , and an offside-corner bathroom . I liked that the bathroom was positioned on the offside , as that means the toilet cassette can be more discreetly removed for emptying .
The nearside club lounge is a winner , too . Upholstered in faux leather , it is particularly comfortable and roomy enough for five people .
