Camping Accessory Installation for a Late Model LandCruiser
Lighting, radio and power sockets: accessories that can make or break a long road trip
This is a late model 200 series Toyota LandCruiser that we've helped getting ready for a big camping trip ahead.
The main auto electrical accessories that we installed are:
- a rear roof light, essential for camping
- GME XRS two-way radio
- rear power sockets to run a portable fridge in the rear of the vehicle.
We connected all these accessories to the auxiliary battery system. Running accessories of the auxiliary battery will prevent the starting battery from going flat and the electrical accessories can continuously run while the vehicle is parked.
A Matson blue tooth battery monitor was also installed so the charge of the auxiliary battery can be monitored via a smart phone app.
How a dual battery system can bring value to your off-road or camping trip:
- power a 12V portable fridge or freezer
- charge your devices / gadgets / tools (phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, coffee machines or cordless drills)
- travel to remote locations knowing you have back-up power
- be self-sufficient with 12V power while camping

This setup is ideal for anyone planning extended camping trips or venturing to remote locations in their LandCruiser. It offers peace of mind with dependable power for your essentials. Your main battery will be safe from draining, with solar charging capability. Your portable fridge and devices can be charged on the go with multiple power sockets installed at the rear of the 300 Series.
This new 300 Series LandCruiser improved its performance with the addition of an electric brake controller. You may already be confident with towing your load (whether it's work equipment, a caravan or a trailer). But there are added benefits to installing a high-performing electric brake controller, such as precise control over braking, smooth, responsive brake operation, and adjustable braking preferences. They can make your task easier and safer.
For optimum results, we installed the Redarc Tow Pro Elite electric brake controller—our preferred towing solution for work or leisure.
This Hilux 4WD fit-out ticks all the boxes in terms of providing reliable power, clear communication on the road, safe towing, and the ability to handle extended trips with a caravan. We installed a dual battery system with Redarc BCDC charger and solar charging capability via Anderson plugs. Towing and radio accessories were added for worry-free extended travels.
For hassle-free extended camping trips or weekend getaways, check out this LandCruiser fit-out. A simple, clean, and effective power setup for towing a new Jayco caravan. It will help your caravan's systems stay powered on the road, your portable fridge keeps running while you drive, and everything connects with a simple plug-in (no messy wiring or multiple connections).
Are you looking for a flexible power solution without the complexity of a traditional dual battery setup? The Redarc GoBlock system is a flexible, portable power battery system, featuring REDARC’s market leading DC charging technology. With a 100 amp Lithium battery, it fitted the needs of this Isuzu D-Max perfectly. The GoBlock is considered a game changer for modern drivers for a reason: built for the most rugged and distant off-grid trips, it is also suitable for practically any vehicle, from cars and vans to 4WDs.
