Powered by OzXcorp: DCX 12V Battery Technology Behind the 2026 Caravan of the Year Joint Winners

Two of Australia’s most highly regarded caravan manufacturers. One of the industry’s biggest awards. And a battery system engineered for the demands of premium off-grid travel.

We’re proud to see OzXcorp technology powering both joint winners of the 2026 Caravan of the Year — Kokoda Caravans and Mountain Trail RV.

For OzXcorp, the recognition is about more than an award.

It demonstrates what happens when leading Australian caravan manufacturers demand more from their electrical systems — and choose battery technology designed specifically for the realities of premium off-grid touring.

Built for the vans built to go further

Premium off-grid caravans are no longer simply about having more battery capacity.

They demand an electrical system that can deliver reliable energy, intelligent protection, robust construction and confidence in some of Australia’s toughest touring environments.

That’s where the OzXcorp DCX 12V Battery System comes in.

Our advanced 12V lithium platform has been developed specifically for mobile applications, combining high-capacity LiFePO₄ technology with an integrated approach to safety, installation and system performance.

It is engineered to be more than a battery.

It is part of the caravan’s electrical architecture.

Proven in Australia’s most demanding caravans

Kokoda and Mountain Trail operate at the premium end of the Australian caravan market, where expectations for build quality, capability and off-grid performance are exceptionally high.

Their recognition at Caravan of the Year reinforces that standard.

For OzXcorp, having our DCX 12V technology integrated into these flagship builds is a strong endorsement of the engineering philosophy behind the platform.

When the caravan is designed to go further, the power system needs to be designed to go with it.

DCX 12V: engineered for modern off-grid travel

The DCX 12V range is designed around the requirements of today’s high-demand caravans.

With high-capacity configurations, robust chassis-mount architecture and an integrated approach to battery protection, the system delivers the energy storage required for extended off-grid travel without compromising the engineering principles that matter most.

Key features include:

• High-capacity LiFePO₄ technology
• Chassis-mount architecture
• Integrated battery heating
• IP67 protection
• Automotive-grade connectors
• UL1973:2022 compliance
• AS/NZS 3001.2-focused system integration
• 7-year warranty
• Designed for long-term mobile applications

The result is a battery system engineered around the realities of Australian caravan travel — vibration, corrugated roads, temperature extremes, high electrical loads and extended periods away from mains power.

More than capacity

The next generation of caravan electrical systems needs to move beyond simply asking:

“How many amp-hours does it have?”

The better question is:

“How has the entire system been engineered?”

Battery placement, protection, connections, thermal management, installation, serviceability and system integration all contribute to the ownership experience.

The DCX 12V platform takes this holistic approach.

Chassis-mount configurations can also help manufacturers optimise battery placement within the caravan, keeping weight lower and contributing to a more considered overall vehicle design.

For OEM manufacturers, that means a cleaner, more repeatable installation.

For caravan owners, it means a power system designed as part of the vehicle — rather than simply added to it.

Powering award-winning innovation

OzXcorp is proud to be part of that evolution.

From the battery system inside the caravan to the wider electrical architecture surrounding it, our focus remains the same:

Build power systems that are safer, smarter, easier to integrate and engineered for the real world.

Congratulations to Kokoda Caravans and Mountain Trail RV on an outstanding achievement.

Two joint winners.

Two very different caravans.

One shared commitment to doing things properly.
