Who Is Enerdrive?
Enerdrive started life as a company called Advance Trident Limited, which mostly served the marine industry. However, in 2008, the company changed leadership, name and direction.
Now, it is not only a leading supplier of independent power products, but also designs and manufactures its own line of independent power products, including eLITE & ePRO battery monitors, dual battery kits, inverter chargers and ePOWER battery chargers.

Introducing Enerdrive Canopy Systems:
In a market first, Enerdrive has created six compact power solutions to operate all of the electrical equipment that is located in 4WD canopies, Caravans & Trailer Campers, from a simple fridge or lights setup to a full-on power station.
There were three models in the original range: The Explorer, The Traveller and The Adventurer. In mid 2021 two other models were introduced: The Lackey and The Wanderer, and more recently they have released the new Voyager.

All five can be paired with any brand or model of battery, such as AGM, gel or lithium. Plus, all systems are pre-wired by Enerdrive where possible, so you only need to sort out the cabling for load outputs, battery connection, and vehicle/solar/tank inputs.
No matter which system you choose, it comes built into a compact box which is designed to mount on either the front or rear bulkheads of the canopy.
