Accessories and spares
The parts that go alongside the panel - probes, valves and relays. Most people need one or two rather than all of them, so each says what it is for and what it needs to work.
Not sure which you need? Ask us - tell us what is in the van and we will tell you what is missing. No question is too basic.
Parts for SavvyTanks
The module reads tanks; these are what it reads them with. A probe per water tank, and the valve if you would rather not crawl under the van to empty the grey.
-
Tank probe
from £44Reads the level in one tank
One probe per tank, in the length that suits its depth. SavvyTanks reads up to three, so a van with fresh and grey needs two of these. Be aware these cannot be cut down, so measure your tanks first.
Needs: A SavvyTanks V3 module
-
Motorised drain valve
£45Empty the grey tank from the screen
Park over the drain, press the tile or the app, walk away. A 12V motorised valve on the grey outlet, driven by one of the SavvyTanks relays.
Needs: A SavvyTanks V3 module
Switching something bigger
Each of the eight switches carries 10A. Above that, the panel drives a relay and the relay carries the load - which also keeps heavy current away from the control board.
-
200A high-current relay
from £20For anything drawing more than 10 amps
The panel switches 10A per channel. Winches, inverters, big pumps and water heaters want more than that, so they get switched through one of these.
Needs: A SavvyVan3 panel
-
240V solid state relay
£36Switch a mains circuit from the panel
For hook-up circuits - an immersion element, a mains heater or anything else 240v. The panel gives a low-voltage signal, the relay does the mains switching, and the two never meet.
Needs: A SavvyVan3 panel, and a mains circuit worth switching
Bits for the panel
Small things that turn out to matter once the panel is in.
-
Temperature probe
£8A second reading, inside or out
Every SavvyVan3 comes with one probe. Add another and you can see inside and outside at once, which is the pair most people actually want.
Needs: A SavvyVan3 panel
-
Soft-surface mounting plate
£10The only way to take the screen back off
A bolted plate for the 7 inch screen, for surfaces that will not take adhesive. It is also the one mounting method you can reverse later.
Needs: A 7 inch SavvyVan3 screen
Keeping the panel online
The panel wants an internet connection for the clock, the weather and updates - and the app needs one before it can reach the van from anywhere but the driveway. Campsite WiFi covers some of that. A SIM of its own covers all of it.
-
TP-Link wireless 4G LTE router
£99.99Give the van its own internet, wherever it is parked
The panel needs an internet connection before the app can reach it from anywhere but the driveway. This mounts inside or outside the van, takes an ordinary data SIM, and gives the panel - and everything else on board - a connection of its own instead of borrowing your phone’s hotspot.
Needs: A SavvyVan3 panel, a Nano SIM with its own data plan, and either 12V or Power over Ethernet where you mount it
Buying the panel at the same time?
The full kit puts the panel, the add-ons and these parts in one order, already matched up - and five per cent comes off at the checkout, so it costs less than buying them one at a time.
