Assembly sequence
Build in order. Pass every gate.
02
Mount modular storage
Use rated tie-down geometry and preserve battery-service access.
Acceptance gate
Every module withstands forward and lateral load checks.
03
Connect approved power
Route the factory-supported output through GFCI distribution and strain relief.
Acceptance gate
Maximum simultaneous load remains below 1,500 W.
04
Run overnight validation
Log state of charge, cabin temperature and cumulative watt-hours.
Acceptance gate
Morning reserve remains above the calculated departure floor.
High-voltage safety boundary
- Never sleep with combustion exhaust near enclosed shelter.
- Keep charge equipment dry and fully uncoiled.
- Follow the vehicle maker’s Ready-mode and outlet guidance.
