A MEGA 12-VOLT SYSTEM WILL SORT OUT ALL OF OUR RANGER'S ELECTRICAL NEEDS

- MATT RAUDONIKIS

AFTER we confirmed that we were fitting the Trig Point service body canopy to the Ranger, and Trig Point's Murray Brookes told us there would be space for an induction cooktop, we had to rethink our 12-volt power set-up. When we spoke to our partners at Projecta about the power-sapping cooktop, they got pretty excited, saying they could supply all the power we needed...and more!

Projecta's Intelli-Grid power systems were primarily designed for caravans, motorhomes and camper trailers, but with the growing want for more electrical power in 4x4 vehicles, the system has been adapted to suit this application.

Projecta told us that this need for more power isn't just for those living on the road and running fridges, lights, inverters, cooktops and microwave ovens, but also for tradies who need to charge batteries for the multitude of power tools they use on the job. This also applies to travellers who carry battery-powered tools. With multiple charging options to keep the system powered, we should be able to keep our gear running no matter where we take the Ranger.
