Trakkit is the revolutionary new modular kit system from TRAKKA that makes DIY van conversion a piece of cake.
You probably know the Sydney-based, family-run TRAKKA from their campervan and motorhome conversions, which they’ve been doing since 1973. If you haven’t done the math already, this means that TRAKKA is commemorating 50 years of manufacturing conversions this year. Now that’s the kind of experience I want backing my RV!
This year, TRAKKA has released Trakkit, a new modular set of products for aspiring travellers who may already have a van, those looking for even more flexibility out of their work van, or those wanting to have a go at a DIY van conversion.
But don’t worry. they’re still doing the full van conversions that we all know and love.
Trakkit is a modular kit system that can be mounted in the side or rear of almost any commercial van. Owners have complete freedom as to which set of modules they use as it’s a mix-and-match type affair. And the units can be completely installed and uninstalled by the user.
TRAKKA appreciates that there are so many more uses for a van or vehicle than just doing the big lap. Many of us want the flexibility to work on the road and/or charge appliances on weekend trips. Some of want to access power and water while other just need a refrigerator solution for beach days. Others may want to cook a meal or simply make a proper coffee from the back of their vehicle.
Each module focuses on a different aspect of life on the road. The first modules available for purchase are the Power Module, Cooking Module, Water Module, Refrigeration Module and Storage Module. However, this is just the beginning, and we can expect to see a Bedding Module in the near future. After that, expect to see options for an Ensuite Module, Connectivity Module with Starlink, Entertaining Module with a projector and screen, Barista Module and more.
The Portable Power Station Module will set you back $2,300. It offers 1,440 battery capacity, a 1,800W inverter, 240V solar and alternator station charging, as well as USB, 12V and 240V output charging points within the unit. The Power Module boasts remote monitoring and control via an app. Combine it with the Water, Cooking and Fridge Modules flawlessly, keeping you covered for all the essentials.
Setting you back $940, Trakkit’s Water Module provides a portable and pressurised 22L water solution for washing up. Not to mention filling bottles and all of your cooking endeavours. Included is a tap with an electric pump, 22L of freshwater storage and a portable collapsible sink in its own module that can securely attach to Trakkit’s side and rear base mounts or even sit on top of the Storage Module.
Trakkit’s Cooking Module will set you back $940 and includes a 240V induction cooktop with three power levels, a cutlery drawer, a crockery set and ample storage space. Illuminate the cooking area with the magnetic LED bar by mounting it on the provided light stand. Actually, it can be mounted on any metal surface of your vehicle for that matter. Allowing inbuilt provision for side benches, the module integrates with the Power and Water Modules.
$1,770 buckeroos will get you the refrigeration module with a 12V/240V 35L fridge paired with an inbuilt interlocking cabinet system for secure travel. Combine this with the Trakkit Power Module for a reliable camping companion that you can take anywhere.
The Storage Modules come either standard or with a cut-out to allow it to be installed over your wheel arch. Both options will set you back $380. Providing convenient storage space for your items when travelling, the Storage Modules also function as a foundational element in which other modules can be stacked on top of. This gives you flexibility with height for your cooking or washing up.
Secure the base inside your vehicle using your vehicle’s original tie-down points. This allows for minimal bolting. The modules are then interlocked to the base or one another using a key constructed from super-strong compact laminate. There are no rules for how you configure your modules. You decide what you want and how you want to arrange them. The modules come already assembled and are designed to be installed by the user.
Currently, Trakkit is sold to fit the Mercedes-Benz eVito, Volkswagen Multivan and Transporter LWB. Options for the VW Crafter and Mercedez-Benz Sprinter will be available shortly. But in general, the system has been created to be adapted to suit nearly any van make and model.
