Appliances such as a 12V/240V TV or a laptop can be operated by plugging directly into a 12V supply using a particular cord designed for that particular appliance. ute slide on camper   Each cord has a transformer built into it to convert the 12 V DC current supplied by the battery to what is required for the particular appliance. As the appliances would already be designed to plug into a 240 V AC supply it is usually much cheaper to buy a small 12V – 240V inverter than to buy the special cord for each appliance. With a slide on there is usually room to locate the battery or batteries under the tray of the vehicle or perhaps closer to the alternator.

That arrangement leaves plenty of room for extra water containers to be placed in front of the tanks for those occasions when extra water would be required.
Generally they may be only 80 – 160mm above the vehicle cab height. This keeps the centre of gravity down low compared to everything else, which is very important for off road and even just cruising through soft sand or windy tracks. As Stuart Peddle from Jacksons explains, “this makes a huge difference – you don’t have to be out rock hopping to appreciate it.” The other advantage of being closer down to the vehicle cab are the wind drag benefits.

The drop in voltage may be such that it is not sufficient to fully charge the battery. To compensate for the voltage drop in the wire from the alternator, a voltage booster located near the auxiliary battery can boost the voltage so that the battery can be charged to full capacity. The usual situation is that the alternator charges a starting battery located close to the alternator in the vehicle. Wires connect the starting battery to an Anderson plug behind the cab of the vehicle. Another Anderson plug near the front driver’s side corner of the slide-on has wires running to the battery or batteries located in the slide- on.

Especially once you read the specs list of the most expensive tray back camper on our list. Of course the obvious choice for 4WDs would be the Ford F250/350, Chev Silverado and Dodge Ram, but in my opinion, they are overpriced. They have all the bells and whistles and the comfort and power is superb but US$50,000 turns into $160,000 by the time it gets to your driveway. I had problems getting my F250 repaired in many areas of Australia but then again I had the same problems with a Mazda BT50 and also the Nissan Navara.
