There are a decent number of power points
throughout the vehicle, but only the one with the
red button is connected to the 1000-watt inverter.Power Systems
A
pair of 80 AH deep cycle batteries
and a 150 W solar panel mean
this motorhome is reasonably well
set up for freedom camping, especially if
the three way fridge is run on gas. Both
water and space heating are supplied by
the Truma Combi 6E LP gas fired heater.
Like many a motorhome, the mains power
points are all NZ/Aust fittings, but only
singles, which is problematic for someone
like moi who carries a considerable
number of battery chargers, apart from
anything else. A useful device I carry
is a small power board with multiple
outlets. This is not just a comment on
Carado, but I do wonder sometimes if
RV manufacturers in general think about
power point locations, numbers and
where power cords might run. There are
no 12 V outlets in the rear but the power
point behind the driver’s seat is inverter
supplied. Control wise, the touch panel is
above the entry door and the mains circuit
