What is a Converter?

  • Function: Converts 120V AC shore power down to 12V DC to power your 12V appliances in the camper.
  • Where It's Found:
    • The WFCO Power Center contains a built-in converter in most nuCamp campers.
    • This Power Center also serves as a power distribution panel, containing both AC breakers and DC fuses.

What is an Inverter?

  • Function: Converts 12V DC from the battery into 120V AC to power one or two outlets inside the camper.
  • Which Units Have an Inverter?
    • The Cirrus 820 and TAB 400 currently come with an inverter.
    • Not all nuCamp units include an inverter—check your specific model.

What is the Victron MultiPlus (for Lithium Packages)?

  • Function: The Victron MultiPlus is an inverter/charger that combines both conversion and inversion functions.
  • What It Does:
    • Supplies 120V AC and 12V DC to the entire camper.
    • Allows you to run all appliances, even off-grid.
  • Which Units Have It?
    • If you have the Lithium Package, your camper will include the Victron MultiPlus instead of a separate inverter and converter.
