The Heart of the Operations: Redarc Redvision Total Vehicle Management System (TVMS)

For this Hilux canopy build, we went with the Redarc Total Vehicle Management System (TVMS) as the heart of the operations. This cutting-edge system is designed to be the central control hub of your canopy or caravan.

The TVMS has an unprecedented level of automation for recreational vehicle's by bringing information and control right to the user’s fingertips.

Pairing it with the RedVision allows you to control multiple on-board devices, such as turning lights, inverter, water pumps and other loads such as televisions, electric steps and fridges on or off. It also provides you with the ability to monitor water levels, temperatures, energy (battery power) consumption and storage, with the battery information available when used with a REDARC 'Manager' battery management system.

     

The Redarc Manager 30 provides all the charging operations your canopy needs while the Redvision system keeps it all in check. With this integrated approach, you can rest assured that your canopy will have reliable power wherever you go.

Charging the Set-Up: Redarc Manager30 

Charging this canopy is a breeze with the REDARC Manager30 S3, it is a 30A state-of-the-art battery management system designed to charge and maintain auxiliary batteries by incorporating AC, DC and solar inputs, ideal for recreational vehicles, caravans, and camper trailers with multiple battery banks.

 It allows you to charge the battery in 3 ways

  1. DC - from your car's alternator while you are driving
  2. Solar - from solar panels mounted to the roof of your vehicle
  3. AC - from house power when you are plugged in at home or in a caravan park

At the core of this build is Enerdrive's 200Ah slim lithium battery, and boy do they pack a punch! Not only are these batteries super compact: W 530 x H 600 x D 83 mm, but they come with plenty of power! That means you can have your lights, fridge, compressor and other electronic equipment running like a dream—all powered by this lithium battery!

These batteries are super compact and boast exceptional build quality and a 5 year warranty — so you can rest easy knowing your system will stay powered up and running, even in extreme conditions. They also offer superior energy density, meaning they're lightweight compared to their counterparts.
