Before / After

We remove over 300lbs of wiring, batteries, and related components that are scattered throughout the van and replace it with roughly half of that weight, centralized between the front and rear axles.

The entire power system occupies space under the OEM bench seat so that spaces like the passenger seat base are now available for use in anyway you can imagine.

Engineered Power System

Rather than just adding lithium batteries to a stock or slightly modified Revel power system, our system pairs high quality Lithium batteries with other high quality components in a completely redesigned layout.

We give you a power system that allows you to live the way you want to off-grid without worrying about whether your batteries will have enough power.

Protection from the Elements

Extreme temperatures and other seasonal elements can negatively effect lithium performance.

Batteries that are cold weather compliant may have temperature based limitations where internal heating cannot keep the batteries warm enough to charge.

When charge energy is used for battery heating rather than charging, the battery monitor may be unaware of how this energy is being used and therefore unable to accurately measure battery state of charge. Coulomb counting based battery monitors (what is used on the majority of lithium based systems in vans) is only accurate when the power going through the counting device (in this case a system wide shunt) is dedicated entirely to charging. 

Batteries and metal battery lugs that are exposed to harsh elements can corrode and cause energy loss all the way to system failure.

The engineered system from RoamRig places expensive batteries and support equipment in temperature conditioned space inside the vehicle so that they are always ready for adventure just like you.

Minimize Loss

When batteries are placed far from each other and far from sources and loads, they charge and discharge unequally. This can lead to the effective capacity of the system being lower than expected due to battery balance drifting over time.

The RoamRig Revel power system is designed so that all components are close together, which minimizes cable length and decreases parasitic loss of power over the cables.

Ready for Launch Fall 2020, Taking Deposits after Revel Rally

Installation Process

We are in the process of identifying and training certified installers in key markets (Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Southeast United States, and California). These certified installers should be ready by mid fall. A full installation will take 2-3 very full days depending on what system you have installed. 

At the moment, DIY systems are not available, but it is something we will be working on as we know there are people that want to do their own installations.

Testimonials

"Our new power system is a complete game changer, enabling better adventures deeper into the mountains, with all the power we need to get outside and have fun, further away from it all.  I get more than 4x the duration of the stock Revel system, and with the bigger inverter, it will quietly run anything on board without a generator - including AC, microwave, stove, chargers."

“I can tell you that I felt 100% comfortable leaving my brand new van at RoamRig. Aaron patiently explains everything to me, is easily available to help when needed, and most of all, his improvements to my van have allowed me such freedom in my van as well as peace of mind compared to the stock inadequate power system!  I am so glad I upgraded my van with him, as I know not only is my van better, but that RoamRig cares so much about customer service and support after the sale and installation.”

The lithium set up by Aaron Silidker at Roamrig has absolutely transformed our revel and how we use it. The system has worked flawlessly and Aaron’s meticulous attention to detail gives us confidence in the design and function of the system. It fits entirely under the jump seat so there is zero compromise in the space and functionality of our revel. The upgraded system provides Bluetooth monitoring with detailed information on current and past power usage. 

We recently spent a week in very hot and humid weather but stayed cool with the air conditioning running through part of the day and through the night. The 630 Amp hour system gives us ample power and recharges quickly with the addition of the second alternator. When running everything other than the AC we essentially don’t even need to monitor our battery usage (but of course we do simply to enjoy the level of comfort that comes with ample power). 

Aaron has been available and incredibly responsive to any and all questions I have had while transitioning to the upgraded power system.  It is an expensive set up but I would highly recommend this system for anyone who wants the best power setup available for the Revel.

"I have been living full time in my Winnebago Revel for over 2 and 1/2 years. While I love my Revel, the power system has always been underwhelming. Over the years I have hauled a generator around to deal with the heat of the summer months as that was the only way to get AC. If you have dealt with a generator, it's not awesome dealing with the gas storage and setting it up and breaking it down for every use. Over the years I looked at options to go to a custom van or overland vehicle that could have the power capacity I needed. In 2019 I got a dog so the ability to run ac was critical. I looked at used Earthromers, the 2020 Earthcrusier, GXV, and all the custom van and truck camper companies.......$200,000 to $500,000. While I understood why these companies charge what they do, I really love my Revel, I just needed more power. That's when I bumped into Aaron at Roamrig. As a van builder, engineer, and dog owner, he understood my challenge and was totally down to help me. He had a new system that he was beta testing and felt it would give me what I needed out of a power system. So I set up an appointment and once at his shop, 4 days later I was ready to hit the road. Just in time to hit the Outerbanks in North Carolina for a long weekend and then off for a cross country trip to the South Western US. Aaron had replaced my 3 AGM batteries with 6 lithium batteries, replaced the inverter and controls, and added a second alternator. After 6 weeks I was back on the east coast and pretty sure I had the dopest Revel on the planet. Aaron's power system is a game-changer for the Revel. I had AC whenever I wanted it. I cooked meals on the induction cooktop while running AC, no problem. Cooked multiple meals a day and used the AC as I wanted to. I no longer need to spend time online looking for a custom build vehicle  I have the best one thanks to Aaron's power system. I was cautious about doing a beta with Roamrig since this is the power system for my van, but there were no issues whatsoever! In talking with Aaron before, during, and after the install it was clear he spent a lot of time and effort engineering his power system. This is hands down the best mod I have had done on my REVEL!"
