Specialist 12V fault finding for European caravans
Dodgy 12V wiring on a European van is the kind of job most workshops would rather avoid, and it is exactly the work Pulse Compliance Testing is happy to take on.
Left unchecked, intermittent earthing and voltage-drop faults leave the fridge, lights and pump cutting out at the worst moment, off-grid and miles from help. As a specialist in UK and European systems from brands like Truma, Dometic and Thetford, Mike tests 12V faults methodically for earthing, voltage drop and intermittent connections, fixes them and backs the work with installation certificates, with registered electricians handling any 230V side.
Need quick help? Urgent repairs can usually be booked for the next day at our Middleton workshop or mobile across Canterbury. Get in touch to book.

Systematic 12V repairs for European and UK vans
The 12V side of a caravan sits outside New Zealand's regulated electrical framework, so there is no certificate or licence behind it. Unregulated 12V caravan systems require disciplined expertise, not guesswork. Pulse Compliance Testing brings a methodical approach to 12V electrical repairs, diagnosing and fixing complex issues safely and effectively.
Whether troubleshooting a fridge that won't start, dropping lights, or an off-grid pump failure, Pulse Compliance Testing traces complex wiring, earthing, and voltage-drop issues back to their root cause. Unserviceable systems are always highlighted transparently before work proceeds.
Alde heating system servicing and repairs can be handled simultaneously.

Caravan solar and battery upgrades sized on real usage
Caravan solar installation is only as useful as its size and design, which is why every system begins with a detailed assessment of how you use your van. Running high-draw appliances like microwaves and hair dryers requires a completely different setup than sustaining a week off-grid on 800 watts.
Pulse Compliance Testing designs tailored systems for every lifestyle - including high-demand setups for digital nomads - carefully matching panels, regulators, and battery banks to your specific power needs.
All installations feature commercial-grade batteries that offer superior performance and value, paired with Hulk Professional Series panels, controllers, and DC-DC chargers for maximum safe charging efficiency. Every system includes a 12-month warranty, supported by six-year lithium battery and two-year panel guarantees, and can be seamlessly combined with certified self-containment inspections and installations.
Appliances, inverters and towing electrical work
Not every appliance fault is worth fixing, which is why Pulse Compliance Testing provides transparent advice on when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the smarter investment. Pulse Compliance can service and repair most major brands, including Thetford and Dometic.
When upgrades are needed, complete 12V to 230V inverter systems are installed alongside the main switchboard. By coordinating registered electricians for 230V work and qualified gasfitters for gas appliances, every job is managed seamlessly under a single contract.
From resolving common AL-KO ATC error codes to fixing complex 12-pin plug faults, the focus is on delivering complete, hands-on repairs rather than just listing issues. Fleet operators can also combine these services with test and tag of portable appliances.

Urgent caravan electrical repairs are usually completed the next day, either from the Middleton workshop or mobile across Christchurch and wider Canterbury.
Every caravan solar panel supply and installation carries a 12-month warranty regardless of brand, using Hulk Professional Series products. Battery cover is extended by an extra year, giving six years on lithium batteries and two years on panels.
Off-grid caravan solar systems can be built in stages as your usage changes.
An electrical WoF checks 12V and 230V systems, wiring, connections and appliances against current standards, with faults diagnosed and repaired in the same visit where possible. Documentation confirms what passed, what was fixed and anything needing future attention, so the job is proven and audit-ready.
Yes, the tricky 12V faults many workshops would rather avoid are exactly what Mike is happy to take on. A background in heavy mechanical systems, controls and complex European caravan wiring means he can trace the issue to its cause before repairing, so the fix actually lasts rather than returning weeks later.
Signs include batteries draining quickly, failing to hold charge, or systems cutting out under load. Mike will test batteries to confirm the cause before replacing, rather than swapping parts on a hunch. Replacement lithium batteries carry six years of cover under extended warranty terms.
A 12 volt to 230 volt inverter converts battery power to mains, letting 230V appliances run while off-grid. Mike designs the installation around how the van is actually used, matching the inverter, battery bank and solar so the system copes with the real load rather than adding gear that is never needed.
