RV PROFILE
Okay , but in practical terms , what does all of this mean ? Essentially , it will let the rig ’ s owner power appliances such as a kettle or a hair dryer when off-grid . No need to plug into a 15A outlet at a holiday park . The inverter , backed by the battery ( which is backed by the solar system ), will provide the juice for you .
This battery system has allowed Track Trailer to do away with a traditional gas-fired cooktop in the Tvan Lightning . Instead , the external slide-out kitchen features a high-output , dual-hob induction cooker . According to Tvan , the induction cooker offers vastly better performance in poor weather conditions , such as high winds , when compared to a traditional gas flame . And that just makes good , logical sense .
The Tvan premium kitchen is not an ‘ off the shelf ’ stainless steel number , such as those found on some caravans and hybrid campers . It is a high quality , highly engineered unit designed to properly fit the space available in the Tvan . Track Trailer , however , has added a couple of extra 240V powerpoints to the Lightning ’ s kitchen … and the dual-hob induction cooker has been seamlessly integrated .
With the batteries relocated to over the axle , Track Trailer has been able to give the Lightning some custom under-bed drawers .
