Despite having an electric element , Track Trailer has retained the wind guard on the Tvan ' s external kitchen .
ALL ELECTRIC , ALL THE TIME
The Lightning is a standalone Tvan model . Its key features , especially the increased battery capacity and inclusion of an induction cooker , called for specific design requirements that won ’ t be found on other Tvans .
So how much battery capacity are we talking about ? The Lightning is fitted as standard with a generous 500Ah worth of lithium batteries and 360W worth of solar . The battery system is comprised of twin 250Ah Revolution lithium batteries wired to a 40A Redarc Rogue TVMS control and distribution module . This system allows the user to control features such as onboard lighting and other devices , such as fridges , fans and water pumps , whether through the
onboard display or via the RedVision smartphone app . It also allows the user to view energy charge / consumption data and activate or deactivate the inverter .
The solar system is made up of a 200W panel mounted on the roof and a 160W monocrystalline solar blanket that can be mounted to the rear hatch or used as a portable system . Other Tvans are fitted with just 120W of solar . Further , Track Trailer has given the Tvan Lightning a larger inverter . While other Tvans get a 300W inverter , the Lightning benefits from a 2000W pure sine wave unit wired to the 240V powerpoints throughout .
