THE FRONT BOOT
•“ We upgraded the solar setup and switched to lithium batteries, along with a new high-tech battery management system from HiTech. The system is still new but offers great functionality. Everything is accessible via a screen or mobile app – lights, pumps, battery status, and more. Sergey loves it! We’ re also testing some new features from HiTech, like a toilet ventilation system and a 3-in-1 battery charger – so far, so good!”
•“ We upgraded to internal power sockets with built-in USB / USB-C ports, but they only work when the inverter is on. Our workaround: we added more USB / USB-C ports to the cupboard above the TV and use wireless chargers( we have three), which work great.
“ We used to change vans frequently – sometimes twice a year. Our first Hilltop Thredbo was an exception and stayed with us for 1.5 years. With our new Thredbo, we have a feeling she’ ll be with us for two years or more – and that says a lot!”
