Explorer Power System

The Explorer is the simplest way to put proper 12V power in your canopy. It's a compact, pre-wired power system that combines a 40A DC-DC charger with built-in MPPT solar, battery monitoring, circuit protection and switched outputs in a single unit, ready to mount on the front or rear bulkhead of your canopy.

Because the Explorer is built and tested before it leaves us, installation comes down to connecting your battery, vehicle, solar and tank inputs, plus whatever loads you want to run. That means a cleaner install, less time on the tools, and fewer places for things to go wrong on corrugations.

The 40A DC-DC charger draws from your alternator while you drive (including smart-alternator vehicles via the ignition input) and switches to solar when you're parked, so your auxiliary battery keeps charging wherever you are. It suits lithium, AGM, gel and wet-cell batteries, so it works with the battery you have now and the one you upgrade to later.

Choose your monitoring

• ePRO+: a proven, no-fuss battery monitor showing state of charge, voltage and current.
• Simarine PICO: a 3.5" colour display with Wi-Fi app monitoring and tank level monitoring.
• Simarine PICO with Quad Shunt: everything in the PICO option, plus individual monitoring of up to four loads, so you can see exactly what your fridge, lights and accessories are drawing.

Choose your install position

The Explorer is available for passenger side (left), driver side (right) or ceiling (top) mounting, so it fits your canopy layout without awkward cable runs.

Faceplate colour

The Explorer ships with a green faceplate as standard. Some images on this page show a black faceplate, which is available as a custom option. If you'd like black, please request it when you place your order.
