Pre-Designed Packages or Bespoke Builds

We’ve developed a range of pre-made camper electrical packages — perfect for popular van layouts and everyday adventure setups — but can also design bespoke systems around your exact travel style, energy usage, and budget. Whether you’re after a simple weekend setup or a full off-grid power system with inverter charging, solar input, and diesel heating, we’ll tailor it to suit your vehicle and expectations.

Trusted Brands, Professional Installation

We only use proven, industry-leading brands — Victron Energy, Sterling Power, Autoterm, and Fogstar Energy — ensuring every installation is safe, efficient, and built to last. All work is carried out in-house at our Newton Abbot workshop by experienced technicians, with every cable, fuse, and fitting completed to the same high standards we’d expect in our own vehicles.

Peace of Mind, Guaranteed

Every system we build is backed by our own warranty and after-sales support, with detailed documentation provided for future servicing, upgrades, or resale. From initial consultation to final handover, our goal is to make your electrical system safe, powerful, and ready for adventure — giving you confidence in every journey.

What We Do — and What We Don’t

At Motorquip, we focus purely on the technical and electrical side of camper van and motorhome builds ensuring every system we install is safe, efficient, and built to professional standards.

We only offer supply and professional installation of the products we sell, allowing us to maintain full control over quality, safety, and warranty coverage.

Our team specialises in the electrical, heating, ventilation, and water systemsthat form the foundation of a reliable and comfortable conversion.

This includes:

Full or partial electrical systems – 12V and 230V installations, lithium battery upgrades, DC-to-DC chargers, solar systems, Victron inverters and MultiPlus units, and full battery monitoring setups.
Heating systems – We install Autoterm diesel heaters as well as Truma diesel and electric heating and hot water boilers, providing safe, efficient, and fully integrated comfort systems for year-round use.
Ventilation & accessories – Professional fitting of roof vents, extractor fans, and window installations to improve airflow and comfort inside your camper or motorhome.
Water systems – Fresh-water and waste-water pump wiring, control switches, and electrical integration.

We don’t carry out furniture, bed, or cabinetry installations, and we don’t install or certify gas systems. By focusing solely on electrical and technical systems, we ensure every component is correctly rated, fused, and installed for safety, reliability, and long-term performance.

Helping You Build Your Dream Camper

If you’re building your own camper van, we can ensure your electrical system is professionally designed, approved, and safe to use, giving you complete confidence as you continue your build.

We’re happy to work alongside you throughout your project, providing expert advice, design input, and staged installations from the initial power system to later additions like solar charging, inverters, or heating. You can spread your build over as many visits as you need, with flexible scheduling that fits your timeline and budget.

At Motorquip, our goal is to support you every step of the way, making sure the technical parts of your build are done right, certified, and ready to power your adventures for years to come.
