2019 nuCamp Cirrus 920

We installed a complete solar, battery, and pass-through inverter system with color-screen control in preparation for fulltime off-grid RV overlander living in this 2019 nuCamp Cirrus 920 truck camper and Dodge RAM 5500 chassis-cab combination. We were able to integrate a total of 1,310W of SOLARA Power M-Series flexible solar panels to allow for lower overhead clearance with walk-on capability. Additional features were added including relocating and replacement of the entire AC/DC power distribution system to allow for the 1,200 Ah battery bank installation, dedicated circuits and infrastructure added for a composting toilet, low voltage freezer, low-voltage marine-based 9,000 BTU air conditioner w/ remote exterior condenser mount, tankless continuous-duty air compressor, ceiling-mount fan in the bed area, multiple USB-power plugs, 360 degree surveillance system w/ remote monitoring, automatic powered step ladder, dedicated 20A twist-lock weather-tight exterior receptacle for high powered tools and electronic devices, and a cell booster.

We are super proud of how this system came out and how well it performs. Knowing Avi has plans to put this vehicle to the test, we wanted to make sure he has the most robust operating Overlander expedition vehicle out there!

Gordon White at Truck Camper Magazine met up with Avi shortly after the install to go through all the great features of his newly designed rig. Read here: The Cost-No-Object Expedition Camper.

Soon after, Avi was interviewed by Stonyboot at the Truck Camper Adventure Rally in Quartzsite, AZ where he walks through the system we installed and how well it performs. Check out the video below!
