Reliable power is the backbone of any modern overland build. Whether you’re running fridges, lighting, comms, or induction cooking in the middle of nowhere, your electrical system has to work — every time. For LandCruiser Troop Carrier (Troopy) owners, that means designing a system that’s compact, protected, and capable of sustained off-grid performance.
That’s exactly what MOVA’s Troopy Electrical Power Boards are built for. Each unit is a pre-wired, modular power solution engineered to integrate cleanly with overland fitouts — providing 12V, 240V, and water system control in one cohesive, serviceable enclosure.
WHY POWER BOARDS MATTER IN A TROOPY BUILD
The Troopy’s generous cargo area makes it an ideal platform for long-range touring, but wiring an electrical system from scratch inside it can quickly become complex. Traditional installs scatter chargers, fuses, inverters, and pumps across the vehicle — which looks tidy at first, until something fails or needs upgrading.
A power board, by contrast, centralises everything: charging, storage, monitoring, and power distribution are all housed in a single, purpose-built enclosure. It’s simpler to install, easier to maintain, and far more reliable in the field.
For MOVA, this isn’t just convenience — it’s an engineering decision. Shorter cable runs mean lower voltage drop and fewer potential failure points. And by isolating all electronics from general storage space, dust and vibration damage are dramatically reduced.
THE MOVA TROOPY POWER BOARD — ENGINEERED INTEGRATION
Each MOVA Troopy Electrical Power Board is pre-assembled and bench-tested before installation. Built around Redarc’s power management ecosystem, the system provides flexible charging, full inverter capability, and integrated water management — all within a single wall-mounted frame.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
- REDARC Alpha Manager (50A, 75A, or 100A) for DC-DC and solar charging management
- 1 or 2 REDARC Rogue units for system expansion
- REDARC 3000W inverter, delivering true 240V power for appliances
- REDARC Smart Battery Monitor for real-time state-of-charge feedback
- 1 or 2 AMPTRON 12V 200Ah / 175A LiFePO₄ batteries
- GUZZLE 2×10 H₂O filter integrated for clean water supply
- SEAFLO 12V water pump for pressurised output
All key components are mounted to a rigid aluminium structure that’s fixed to the vehicle’s side wall. The batteries sit low and inboard, while high-heat items like inverters and chargers are spaced for ventilation.
Fuses and protection circuits are accessible via a removable side panel — so field service doesn’t require removing cabinetry. Each connection is labelled and strain-relieved, with looms protected in abrasion-resistant sheathing.
POWER YOU CAN TRUST — IN THE FIELD
When you’re hundreds of kilometres from a workshop, you don’t want a science project running your fridge. MOVA’s pre-wired power boards remove the guesswork from 12V and 240V systems.
Every board follows the same integration layout, tested for cable routing, fuse rating, and thermal performance. The system is plug-and-play for fitouts — simply connect to the vehicle’s alternator feed, optional solar input, and output looms for your accessories or drawer systems.
That modularity means less downtime in the workshop, and fewer surprises when you start loading your Troopy with touring gear.
DESIGNED FOR DUST, HEAT, AND CORRUGATIONS
Australian conditions are the ultimate test for any overland power system. Corrugations, fine dust, and high ambient heat are brutal on electrical gear — especially DIY systems with exposed wiring or loosely mounted components.
MOVA’s Troopy Power Boards are built with those realities in mind.
- Short high-current runs minimise heat and voltage loss.
- Isolated compartments keep electronics away from stored gear.
- Ventilation and spacing prevent thermal buildup around inverters.
- Compression fittings and sealed pass-throughs stop dust ingress at cable entries.
- All fasteners are torque-marked and thread-locked for vibration resistance.
The result is an electrical board that doesn’t just perform — it survives. It’s a system you can install once and trust for years.
12V MEETS 240V TRUE DUAL-SYSTEM CAPABILITY
A proper overland power system needs to handle both 12V accessories and 240V appliances safely. MOVA’s power boards include a Redarc 3000W inverter, providing clean AC power for induction cookers, tools, or laptops.
The inverter’s output is routed through protected 240V outlets mounted in accessible galley locations — keeping the wiring short and compliant. Meanwhile, low-voltage circuits (for fridges, lights, fans, or pumps) are fused and distributed through the same board, maintaining clear separation between DC and AC systems.
Everything is controlled and monitored through the Smart Battery Monitor, which gives live voltage, current, and state-of-charge readings. This keeps the system simple to operate while providing proper technical feedback for troubleshooting or planning solar input.
SCALABLE AND SERVICEABLE
One of the advantages of a modular board system is scalability. The Troopy Power Board can be configured for:
- Single or dual battery layouts
- 12V-only setups or full 12V/240V hybrid systems
- Integration with MOVA drawer systems and Waypoint fitouts
- Optional pop-top or roof power expansion via pre-wired chases
If you expand your build later — adding solar panels, a compressor, or a full galley — the Power Board’s documented interfaces make it easy to plug in without rewiring the entire vehicle.
And when it comes time to service it, every fuse, connector, and filter is reachable. The water filters can be changed from the side panel. Electrical inspection can be done without unpacking the Troopy. It’s designed for real-world use, not just showrooms.
BUILT TO INTEGRATE WITH MOVA FITOUTS
The Troopy Power Board is the heart of every MOVA build, connecting seamlessly to our drawer, galley, and internal wall systems. Outlets, switches, and USB ports are positioned where they make sense — on the fascia of the cargo galley, not hidden behind panels.
That integration reduces install complexity and ensures your electrical system is protected by the same structural integrity as the rest of the build. It’s a clean, modular ecosystem — not a tangle of aftermarket components.
THE MOVA DIFFERENCE
In the world of Troopy electrical systems, quality isn’t about over-speccing components — it’s about design discipline. Every MOVA Power Board follows a documented layout, tested under load, and built using only proven hardware from Redarc, Amptron, Guzzle, and Seaflo.
It’s not the cheapest way to power a LandCruiser. It’s the most dependable.
When you’re days from the nearest outlet, MOVA’s Troopy Electrical Power Board turns your vehicle into a self-contained energy system — silent, efficient, and built to handle Australia’s harshest touring conditions.
