Solar Van Man™ RV Energy Packages
Solar Van Man™ designs and installs RV lithium, solar, inverter, and DC-DC charging systems for owners who want quiet off-grid power, longer boondocking, air-conditioning-capable lithium power, and less generator dependence.
Based in Crystal Lake, Illinois, we serve the Greater Chicago and Milwaukee areas with professionally integrated Victron-based energy systems for vans, truck campers, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A, B, and C motorhomes.
Our CORE™, COMMAND™, and CONQUEROR™ packages are not boxed kits. They are system architectures. Final design and pricing are confirmed after an RV Energy Audit because roof layout, battery placement, alternator capacity, existing wiring, inverter loads, safety corrections, and owner expectations vary from coach to coach.

CORE™ 12V Series
CORE™ 12V Series
Quiet off-grid power for real RV use.
The CORE™ 12V Series is the practical foundation for owners who want lithium storage, clean 120V inverter power, solar recovery, and DC-DC charging without overbuilding the coach.
CORE is best for vans, truck campers, smaller Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and owners who want to run normal 120V loads with less generator dependence. Air-conditioning operation may be supported depending on battery capacity, inverter size, ambient temperature, and cycling load.
Typical CORE system elements
- Victron pure-sine inverter/charger
- Heated LiFePO₄ lithium battery bank
- Roof-mounted solar array
- Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge controller
- Victron DC-DC charging from the vehicle or tow vehicle
- Victron SmartShunt battery monitoring
- Victron system communication and monitoring where appropriate
- Professional AC and DC circuit protection
- Coach-specific wiring, mounting, programming, and commissioning
Best fit
CORE is the right starting point when the goal is quiet inverter power, better battery capacity, safer lithium charging, improved solar recovery, and a professionally integrated system that works with the RV instead of fighting it.
COMMAND™ 24V Series
More capacity, cleaner current, stronger off-grid performance.
The COMMAND™ 24V Series is for owners who need more battery capacity, stronger inverter support, improved electrical efficiency, and cleaner high-current design than a 12V architecture typically allows.
COMMAND is best for larger vans, truck campers, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and RV owners who use heavier 120V loads and want a more capable off-grid system without stepping into full 48V architecture.
Typical COMMAND system elements
- Victron inverter/charger platform sized to coach demand
- 24V heated LiFePO₄ lithium battery bank
- Expanded roof-mounted solar array
- Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge control
- DC-DC charging architecture sized to the vehicle or tow vehicle
- 24V-to-12V conversion for standard RV loads
- Victron SmartShunt battery monitoring
- Victron Cerbo GX / GX Touch monitoring where appropriate
- Professional AC and DC circuit protection
- Coach-specific wiring, mounting, programming, and commissioning
Best fit
COMMAND is the right architecture when the owner wants longer boondocking, larger battery storage, stronger 120V support, and cleaner high-current design while preserving reliable 12V house-system operation.
CONQUEROR™ 48V Series
Premium lithium power for serious off-grid demand.
The CONQUEROR™ 48V Series is Solar Van Man's premium architecture for high-demand RV energy systems. It is designed for owners who want substantial lithium storage, scalable inverter power, strong solar recovery, and the best architecture for heavy loads such as air conditioning, residential appliances, Starlink, induction cooking, and extended off-grid use.
CONQUEROR is best for premium vans, truck campers, fifth wheels, Class A motorhomes, Super C motorhomes, diesel pushers, and owners who expect their RV electrical system to perform like a serious mobile power plant.
Typical CONQUEROR system elements
- Victron 48V inverter/charger or Quattro platform sized to coach demand
- 48V heated LiFePO₄ lithium battery bank
- High-output roof-mounted solar array
- Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge control
- DC-DC charging architecture sized to the vehicle or tow vehicle
- 48V-to-12V support for standard RV house loads
- Victron system monitoring and communication network
- Victron SmartShunt or equivalent battery monitoring
- Professional AC and DC circuit protection
- Coach-specific wiring, mounting, programming, and commissioning
Best fit
CONQUEROR is the right architecture when air-conditioning-capable lithium power, large inverter loads, high battery capacity, lower current, and long-term system scalability matter.
Why Package Pricing Requires an RV Energy Audit
No two RV energy installations are identical, even on the same make, model, and year. Final pricing depends on battery location, roof layout, available solar area, alternator capacity, wire routing, inverter loads, existing equipment, ventilation, structural access, safety corrections, and how the owner actually uses the coach.
Solar Van Man does not sell one-size-fits-all kits. We design, install, program, and commission integrated RV energy systems that match the coach and the camping objective.
