79 Series — a 48V canopy, done right

14 July 2026·Unwind Designs

Not every build is a Troopy. This one’s a 79 Series with a canopy setup and a serious electrical brief — a full Egon 48V system, wired and enclosed the way we’d want it on our own rig.

Stepping up to 48V

Going 48V means more headroom, less cable loss and a cleaner install for the loads this canopy needs to run. We changed the alternator to keep it charging hard, and built a custom electrical enclosure so the whole system lives in one tidy, serviceable place.

Built to be worked on

A pivot-mounted Victron screen puts monitoring and control right where you need it, and swings out of the way when you don’t. Everything is labelled and documented — so if it ever needs attention on the road, it’s readable.

48V, a canopy full of power, and an enclosure you can actually work on — that’s how we build electrical.
