The 3 way (gas/elec/12volt) fridge in caravans require a very high current 12 volt power supply to keep the fridge icy cold in transport. You may not know this but this circuit comes from your tow vehicle and not your caravan’s battery. It can be in the 12 pin plug or in an Anderson plug connection. The gauge of wiring for this circuit MUST SUPPORT ITS REQUIRED CURRENT DRAW all the way from starter battery to fridge. So, when we run the vehicle cable, we always take this into account. If you have an Automatic 3 way fridge (AES) both Thetford or Dometic, you will also require an extra sensing wire from the vehicle to tell the fridge to turn over to 12 volt and start pulling high current from the vehicle when the engine is running.
Upon shutting the engine down, the sensing wire should isolate and in turn the fridge will stop pulling power from the vehicle. 15 mins after this, the fridge will try and ignite onto GAS. This is the automatic feature and is there for your safety. When you start your vehicle again, it will turn back onto 12 volt automatically. As we understand caravan appliances and circuits we make sure the vehicle is setup correctly to suit the required application.

I also had a damaged... read more Caravan T V antenna which Matthew also fixed, then he fixed my caravan reverse camera cord. These extra items didn't take Matthew very long but he certainly saved me time and money as he didn't charge me. Support small business.

October 1, 2021To fellow South Australian. motor Home owners..... We were having trouble that because our Inspiration Supreme by Paradise,was in storage (outside), The Vehicle Battery would slowly lose charge. Once after a... read more 3 month storage time, we had to jump start. Met Matt at the Adelaide Caravan and Camping Show who explained that although we had a trickle charge, it only charged the House Batteries. He installed a Narva VSR . This now means that because the Vehicle still has access to the sun for the solar panels, it charges the Vehicle Battery, but only as much as is necessary. Matt Beshara is a really switched on guy. He does so many aspects and specializes in the Caravan and Camping Industry, including adding Solar Panels, or anything Electronic like Satelite TV. He also added an Anderson Plug near the Towbar so we can plug in The Tyre Pump much easier. .....AND... he comes to YOU.

We didn’t mind driving up from Melbourne and waiting for over 3 months for a booking to get some of Matt’s 12volt expertise in upgrading our lithium power... read more needs, SatKing Pro satellite and Cel-fi Signal booster and Sirocco fans installation to the bunk as well as additional solar panels on our JB Scorpion Sting. We’d rate Matt’s knowledge to that of an ‘Expert’ in his field. Matt and his apprentice Riley have a lovely disposition, great work ethic and utmost regard for the client’s gear. They covered all surfaces before working on them, even put cardboard on the floor inside the van, taking great care not to scratch or damage the caravan. Even their ladder has a soft protective foam to avoid damage to the van when leaning against it. They arrived on time, worked diligently, cleaned up after themselves and even went the extra mile to repair / amend some rather ordinary factory work on the caravan which was well outside the scope of their engagement with us. We found the price to be reasonable and the quality of their work is unmatched. After sales support is amazing with Matt. He is not shy to answer his phone and attended to your queries. Will be using and recommend Matt’s service in the future without the slightest hesitation. Thank you Matt and Riley. We love the work you have done. We can now free camp for so much longer, have phone reception with Cel-fi booster to work remotely and the SatKing to enjoy TV in the middle of no where and kids can stay cool in WA and the NT with their new fans Cheers Daniel, Preeti and kids!
July 14, 2021There are good reasons that these guys are flat out and booked months in advance. Courteous, punctual, knowledgeable and informative, but most of all, their work is of the highest... read more quality. Matt and Riley did a great job upgrading the power and solar capabilities of our Eagle Cherokee and fixed the Anderson set up on our Prado (that was new but substandard) and even wired up a new set of spotlights too. Matt explained a number of shortcomings and misconceptions regarding some of the "plug and play" harness and wiring looms that get sold to unknowing customers (me) and saved me time, effort and likely damage had I attempted the job myself. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.
August 17, 2022Matt does an amazing job and thinks about what you need for the type of travel you do. Very professional with attention to detail. Cannot recommend him enough!
