  • Why are Adapt-A-Camp products more expensive than similar products found elsewhere?

    Adapt-A-Camp and supporting products are made by hand, by JAElec, a small family business. Not by a machine in a factory. I am a qualified Auto Electrician and pride myself on my workmanship and honesty. Everything that goes out of my shop is done to my standard, not to a price. I go to extra efforts such as soldering many connections and sealing components where it is common place in the industry or aftermarket not to-this takes time. I also choose the components that go into our products for their quality. I would rather lose a customer to a cheaper job/product than send him away with an inferior job/product and risk my reputation. Remember this-“Good work isn’t cheap, cheap work isn’t good”

  • Is Adapt-A-Camp waterproof?

    No. All efforts have been made to keep water out of the case, but no electrical device of this nature can be waterproof. If it happens to rain on you while setting up or packing up camp, your Adapt-A-Camp should be fine as long as the covers are in place. Once the rubber covers are opened, water can enter any of the outlets, so Adapt-A-Camp should be placed under shelter while in use. Always pack away your Adapt-A-Camp and accessories when completely dry.

  • Is Adapt-A-Camp 24v compatible?

    Yes, the on board electronics are multi-volt compatible.

    • Camp light 10-30v
    • Backlit accessory outlet 12/24v
    • USB outlet 12/24v
    • Voltmeter 5-30v
    Adapt-A-Camp DOES NOT CONVERT 24 Volt to 12 Volt! Keep in mind that all in/outlets will be at system voltage. Do not plug in 12v accessories/equipment to the inlet/outlets when running the Adapt-A-Camp at 24 Volt!!
