RV FEATURE
Then there’ s the 2600W pure sine wave inverter, which converts 12V DC power into usable AC power for your domestic appliances, such as a coffee machine and toaster, and it will also power some RV air-conditioners, depending on their current draw, of course. That said, this inverter does deliver surge / peak power up to 5200W.
The idea behind the Powersync RV Management System is to provide a fully integrated energy solution for the van – which it does. After a few minutes of playing with the touchscreen and the app, I was hooked. And I don’ t mind admitting that since my phone barely leaves my pocket, the app became a convenient way to operate all of the lights inside the Hilltop Mawson.
But there’ s a couple more points to make on this topic. First, just because the van’ s 12V circuits are operable via the touchscreen display and the smartphone app doesn’ t mean you can’ t physically turn your appliance on at the appliance itself.
And if you like the idea of this system, but would prefer to have a traditional light switch, never fear: two wireless light switch panels, each with six switches, are provided. They can be mounted with double-sided tape anywhere that’ s convenient in the van.
SUMMING UP
Efficient power management has become an essential component of modern vans and the HiTech system really does make it easy. On a related note, HiTech lithium batteries are available too and, perhaps unsurprisingly, there’ s a separate app allowing you to monitor the battery parameters. That said, if you had the Powersync system, you wouldn’ t need the battery-only app as that info is displayed in the Powersync app, HiTech Connect.
Overall, it’ s an excellent system. In this day and age, why shouldn’ t we be able to control our van from our phone?
