Electrified Power Solutions for RV OEMs | Vanair®

Vanair® brings more than 50 years of mobile power engineering to the RV market. The EPEQ® Electrified Power Equipment® ecosystem covers every layer of an RV’s power architecture: LiFePO₄ battery banks, pure sine wave inverters, patented solar charging, DC-DC conversion, EV charging, and emergency starting. Every component is engineered to work together, sourced from a single supplier, and backed by the manufacturing infrastructure of Lincoln Electric.

For RV OEMs, that means one integration partner from spec to production, with the field-proven reliability to support your product through its entire service life.

The power demands on modern RVs are growing every model year. Slide-outs, climate control, induction cooking, entertainment systems, and EV charging all draw from the same power budget. OEMs who spec the right architecture from the start build a better product and carry lower warranty exposure. Those who don’t spend service dollars on workarounds.

The EPEQ® platform is available in both 12V and 48V configurations to match your chassis and house-power design. All components carry the certifications RV OEM programs require, including UL 1973, UL 1741, IP67, and RV-C CAN compatibility.

Why Vanair® for RV OEM Power Systems

Selecting a power system supplier is a long-term decision. The components you spec today determine warranty exposure, dealer serviceability, and end-user satisfaction for the life of the unit. Vanair® is built for that kind of accountability.

Proven in the Field, Not Just on Paper

Vanair® Mobile Power Solutions® operate in some of the most demanding environments in North America: utility line trucks, military vehicles, oil field service rigs, and DOT fleets. These applications share the same non-negotiable requirements as premium RV power systems: reliable engine-off operation, thermal stability, vibration resistance, and long service intervals. EPEQ® components carry the certifications to prove it.

Key certifications across the EPEQ® Electrified Power Equipment® platform:

  • UL 1973 (battery systems) – the recognized safety standard for stationary and vehicle-mounted battery energy storage
  • UL 1741 (solar charge controllers) – grid-interactive and stand-alone inverter/charger safety
  • IP67 (batteries and solar charge controllers) – full dust protection and temporary immersion resistance
  • RV-C CAN (48V ELiMENT® batteries) – native compatibility with RV industry communication networks
  • NRTL Listed components throughout the EPEQ® ecosystem

A Complete Platform, One Supplier

Most RV power configurations require sourcing batteries, inverters, charge controllers, DC-DC converters, and shore power management from multiple vendors. Each interface is a potential failure point, and each vendor relationship adds procurement complexity.

The EPEQ® ecosystem eliminates that fragmentation. Every component is engineered and tested as part of an integrated system, with matched voltage architectures (12V and 48V), coordinated charging profiles, and unified technical support from a single manufacturer.

Lincoln Electric Resources, Vanair® Expertise

As a Lincoln Electric company, Vanair® operates with the manufacturing depth, quality systems, and the global supply chain of a industrial manufacturer, while retaining the specialized mobile power engineering expertise built over five decades.

For RV OEMs, that combination has three concrete implications:

  • Production consistency: Lincoln Electric’s quality systems and supplier infrastructure mean component specifications don’t drift between production runs, which matters when you’re building to a validated BOM.
  • Component availability: A global industrial manufacturer that carries the supply chain leverage to maintain component availability through market disruptions that strand smaller suppliers.
  • Program scalability: Whether you’re validating a prototype or ramping a high-volume production line, Vanair® has the manufacturing infrastructure to scale with your program without requiring a supplier change at volume.

EPEQ® Electrified Power Equipment® Solutions for RVs

The EPEQ® platform covers every layer of an RV’s power architecture, from primary energy storage through power conversion, solar harvesting, DC distribution, and EV charging. Products are available in both 12V and 48V configurations to match your platform requirements.

EPEQ® Solar Assist™ | Patented Flexible Solar

RVs lose battery charge even at rest. GPS trackers, security systems, and onboard electronics create a continuous parasitic draw that shortens battery life and increases warranty claims related to dead batteries at the dealer lot or in the field.

Solar Assist™ addresses this directly with a patented, flexible panel system designed for curved RV roof surfaces without traditional mounting hardware.

Performance specifications:

  • MPPT charge control harvests up to 45% more usable energy than PWM controllers
  • Shade-resilient mesh grid design with more than 2,100 conductive pathways adds up to 20% more real-world production
  • Panel thickness: 1/8 inch, frameless, conforms to curved surfaces
  • Extends typical battery life from roughly 18 months to 3-4 years
  • Available in 55W and 110W kits
  • UL 1741 certified, IP67 rated

OEM Integration and Partnership

Most power system suppliers hand you a catalog and a price sheet. Vanair® works differently. The OEM team engages directly with your engineering and procurement contacts from initial platform assessment through production-ready installation specifications, with a single technical point of contact throughout.

That matters because RV power integration decisions made at the spec stage are expensive to unwind later. Getting the architecture right before production commitment is the work Vanair® is built to support.

What OEM Engagement Looks Like

  • Platform assessment: Vanair® engineers review your power load requirements, chassis architecture, and available installation space to recommend the right EPEQ® configuration for your platform
  • Specification support: Full technical documentation, wiring schematics, and component data sheets available for engineering review and BOM validation
  • Prototype and validation: Sample units available for integration testing prior to production commitment, so your team can validate fit, finish, and electrical performance before locking the design
  • Production scaling: Lincoln Electric manufacturing infrastructure supports high-volume OEM programs with consistent quality, controlled lead times, and supply chain resilience
  • Ongoing technical support: Dedicated OEM support contact for installation questions, field issues, and product updates throughout the program’s lifecycle
