JB Dirt Roader Van Tour (Top 5 things we would change)

After 9 months travelling around Australia, we get so many questions about the JB Caravan “Dirk”. We decided we would try and share what we love, how we set it up for off-grid camping and what we would do differently knowing what we do now.
The batteries mentioned in the video were ITECH120X 12V LITHIUM.

great episode guys
we have the bmpro BMS in our van and its so restrictive in what you can add
changing that out for victron stuff would have been in my top 5
cheers guys stay safe

Cheers 👍 100%. A mate of ours disabled theirs leaving it as glorified fuse box. Even though we have the bmpro mini boost pro, commlink and odyssey link it’s still very hard to understand what’s going on. It’s also difficult to get timely customer support response in our experience.
Our last van had a Redarc bms. I love they’ve got a call centre in Australia and an expert who talks you through any issues which is great while you’re on the road. It’s provides a clear snapshot of what’s happening including history and it’s all in the one unit so you don’t get integration issues. Im also a big fan of the victron gear, we got a Victron 240 charger for the cruiser last week too. Love their app and all the information you can get out like history and trends. From our experience Victron has been really good bang for buck but we haven’t needed to call customer support yet.
Will likely go the route of all Redarc or Victron next install.
Cheers for watching and stay safe!
