Key Highlights & Innovations
- Massive 62.4kW Heated Lithium Battery Bank: Provides up to 15 hours of continuous cruising or 3–10 days of off-grid living without recharging. Heated technology allows safe charging even in temperatures below 5°C.
- 4-Way Charging Network: Powered via a massive 14-panel (4.76kW) Solar Array, 16A Shore power, Portable generator, or an optional onboard generator. Smart Victron controls automatically prioritize free solar energy over shore power.
- Revolutionary 300L Thermal Buffer Tank: Stores ~18kW of heat energy to provide 2–6 hours of heating and hot water without running any energy source. Powered by solar excess dump, shore power, or the optional pellet boiler stove.
- Advanced Climate Control & Insulation: Steel hull (10/6/4) features spray foam and 25mm PIR insulation, double-glazed tinted windows, zoned smart underfloor heating, and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system. No condensation, no damp, and minimal energy bills.
- Eco-Water Management: Massive 1,000L fresh water and 750L black water tanks. The ceramic macerator toilet flushes using filtered raw canal water, drastically extending time between pump-outs and freshwater refills.
- Smart Home & Security: Fully automated Victron Cerbo GX system monitoring, Fibaro Z-Wave smart dimmable lighting, dual-SIM router with mast, and a 5-camera Hikvision CCTV system (including a bow PTZ camera) for ultimate security and effortless navigation.
