Get to and Stay in the Outdoors with REDARC Brake Controllers and Battery Management

You know which country camps and tows and off-roads almost as much as the US of A? Australia, the land of the walkabout. It has tons of wide-open spaces just begging to be explored, which Aussies do on a regular basis. And where there is exploring, there is a need for trailer towing assistance and battery management for vehicles that stray off the beaten path.

So it should be no surprise an Australian company makes products that address those issues. REDARC trailer brake controllers, battery chargers, and battery management systems are designed to keep the lights on when you’re in the middle of the outback—or at your favorite campground. Here are some REDARC products you should take a look at.

Tow-Pro Elite V3 Trailer Brake Controller
The Tow-Pro Elite V3 gives you the option of two braking modes:

Proportional Mode is designed for on-highway towing. It applies the trailer brakes in proportion to the tow vehicle’s deceleration—the harder you apply the vehicle brakes, the harder the trailer will brake. You can adjust brake sensitivity to match varying trailer loads or driver braking preference.

User Controlled Mode lets you set trailer brake sensitivity; the trailer will brake at that level regardless of how hard the tow vehicle brakes. This mode is ideal for off-road use or where you want precision control over your trailer brakes.
 
The Tow-Pro Elite V3 has a three-axis accelerometer that can measure acceleration in any direction and constantly monitors the direction of travel. That means you can mount the controller in any position or location and it will accurately apply the proper level of braking force.

The Tow-Pro Elite V3’s control knob can be installed remotely from the controller itself. You can mount the controller box out of the way and mount the control knob on the dash or other convenient location. That makes for a cleaner installation without compromising leg room or low-mount airbags.

The Tow-Pro Elite V3 is compatible with electric and electric/hydraulic trailer brakes and 12- or 24-volt vehicle electrical systems.

Dual Input In-Vehicle Battery Charger
Just because you’re in the middle of nowhere doesn’t mean you can’t have the comforts of home in your RV or camper. Since there aren’t too many AC power hookups in the wilderness, you need another way to keep your auxiliary batteries charged. A REDARC Dual Input In-Vehicle Battery Charger lets you charge auxiliary batteries using your vehicle’s primary battery or an optional solar panel while you’re on the move. When you’re in camp, you can hook the Dual Input charger up to a solar panel array to keep the auxiliary battery topped up.

The charger’s ‘brain’ has a multi-stage charging algorithm with specific charging profiles for standard lead-acid, AGM, gel, and LiFePO4 lithium batteries. The unit works with 12- or 24-volt vehicle systems and is compatible with standard or variable/smart alternators. This REDARC video will help you choose the right Dual-Input charger for your needs.

RedVision Total Vehicle Management Systems
The RedVision Total Vehicle Management System is an all-in-one device to control the lights, power inverters, water pump, or other electric-powered devices in your truck, camper, trailer, or motorhome. You can also monitor things like water level, temperature, battery power consumption, and battery power storage when you pair the RedVision with a battery management system like REDARC’s Manager30.

RedVision comes with an in-vehicle mounted display to monitor the system. You can also use the free mobile app to keep an eye on things when you’re away from the campsite.

The RedVision Total Vehicle Management Systems are fully customizable to suit your particular setup. Here are some helpful links to learn more:
