As I’m currently in the process of selling my sailing yacht Elektra<\/a> and looking to get a Victron equipped motorhome, I was particularly interested to hear from Uwe Dr\u00e4ger<\/a> at the show. Uwe is Victron’s sales manager for Germany. Here’s a few photos from the show and what is hot.<\/p>\n

Victron equipped campervan<\/h3>\n

The Victron equipped campervan has certainly created a lot of interest.<\/p>\n

\"Caravan<\/a><\/p>\n

Electric induction cooking and making that essential cup of fresh coffee is not a problem, as the van is lithium ion<\/a> equipped with a Multiplus inverter\/charger and Color Control GX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Campervan<\/a><\/p>\n

As you may recall with the recent release of the Color Control GX v1.70 firmware<\/a> this now includes tank sensors for fresh water, black water and fuel, plus adjustment of the current limit for a Mutiplus<\/a> or Quattro<\/a> as shown below in the additional overview screen.<\/p>\n

You’ll also notice on the windows of the van a schematic of the system. There is also a list of the products used. Apologies for the hasty photos from the show, but if you need further information please contact Uwe Dr\u00e4ger<\/a> and I’m sure he’ll be happy to provide you with clearer details than those shown below.<\/p>\n
