    About Roam Gear

    Roam Gear is the range we control end to end, and that is the reason it exists.

    Buying someone else's product means accepting their decisions. The frame thickness on a panel, the length of a lead, the number of mounting points, the warranty period. Most of the time those decisions are fine. Sometimes they are not, and there is nothing to be done about it except stock a different brand with a different set of compromises.

    The own-brand range is the answer to the places where none of the available compromises were right. Slimline panels with a 20mm frame, because a standard frame does not sit well on a rooftop tent lid. Glass panels with more mounting points, because a panel that can only be fixed at the corners flexes on a corrugated roof. A ten year warranty on the glass and slimline panels, and five years on the flexible ETFE range, because a panel is a long-lived product and the warranty ought to say so.

    Beyond the panels, it covers the parts of an install that are bought in quantity and rarely thought about. Leads made up to the lengths that actually get used. Anderson plugs sold singly and in packs. MC4 connectors, inline fuses and fuse holders. Surface mounts in single, double and triple.

    None of it is exotic. All of it is specified by people who install this gear rather than people who catalogue it.

    FAQs

    Roam Gear FAQs

    What is the story behind the Roam Gear brand?

    Roam Gear was born in 2018 from a desire to simplify the off-grid experience. We noticed that most 12V gear was cluttered with loud branding and complicated designs that didn't fit the clean, modern setups travelers were building. Our founder, Jarrad Webb, set out to create a range that prioritized performance and minimal aesthetics, giving adventurers gear that works perfectly without becoming a distraction.

    At the heart of our story is the "Freedom to Stay" philosophy. We believe that nature has a way of recharging the soul, and our brand exists to remove the technical barriers that cut trips short. By focusing on reliable solar and power solutions, we help people say "yes" to that extra night under the stars or that spontaneous detour. Roam Gear isn't just about the products; it is about providing the confidence to stay longer in the places that matter most.

    What does the Roam Gear philosophy of "Freedom to Stay" mean for travelers?

    This philosophy represents our commitment to reducing the friction of off grid life. It is the belief that your gear should work so well that you forget it is there, allowing you to focus on the environment instead of managing a failing battery system. By providing dependable power and shelter solutions, we remove the anxiety that often cuts trips short or forces travelers back to town earlier than planned.

    Applying these principles to a Marine rig or a Campervan fit out is what drives our product design. We focus on making the complex side of 12V systems simple and seamless so you can prioritize your time outdoors. Our equipment acts as the enabler that helps you settle in, stay longer, and enjoy the moment with complete confidence.

    What makes Roam Gear's design aesthetic different from other 12V brands?

    Roam Gear's design aesthetic is defined by clean lines and minimal branding. We avoid the loud colors and cluttered look common in the industry, focusing instead on gear that blends into a professional vehicle fit out.

    Most off grid equipment is covered in oversized logos that can make a canopy or cabin feel messy. We prioritize a low profile look that highlights the quality of the construction rather than the brand itself. This refined approach helps you build more capable setups for Marine or land based travel without sacrificing style. It is a philosophy best seen in our Glass Solar Panels, which offer high efficiency in a very sleek form.

    What types of solar panels does Roam Gear specialize in?

    Roam Gear specializes in high efficiency 12V solar solutions designed for both permanent and adaptable mounting. Our range focuses on slimline glass panels for fixed roof rack installs and thin, flexible panels for curved surfaces or weight sensitive setups. Every panel is engineered to provide leading energy harvest while maintaining the clean, minimal aesthetic the brand is known for.

    These panels are built to handle real Australian conditions like coastal salt air and high vibration without adding unnecessary bulk to your rig. We prioritize low profile designs that provide maximum output while keeping your overall height low and your setup looking professional. Explore our Glass Solar Panels for a permanent roof setup or look at our Flexible Solar Panels for a versatile, lightweight alternative.

    Can Roam Gear solar panels be mounted to any rooftop tent?

    Roam Gear provides a specific range of glass solar panels designed for mounting to most hard shell rooftop tents. Our Rooftop Tent Solar Panels feature a low profile to maintain vehicle clearance and provide a permanent power source while you are off grid. This setup allows you to capture charge throughout the day without the need for manual setup or unpacking portable gear.

    The minimal design of these panels makes sure they blend cleanly into the shell of the tent. By utilizing this otherwise empty roof space, you free up room on your cross bars or roof rack for larger items. These panels handle the vibration and wind resistance associated with highway travel and off road use. You can browse our collection of Rooftop Tents to see which models are compatible with this integrated solar solution.

    How does Roam Gear ensure their products handle real-world Australian conditions?

    Every product in our range is refined through extensive field use and real customer feedback to ensure it performs in the outback. We focus on the specific environmental tensions found across Australia, including relentless corrugated tracks, extreme cabin heat, and coastal salt air. This grounded approach helps us identify and remove potential failure points before a product reaches your setup.

    Our commitment to durability is built into the design process. We choose high grade materials that handle the stress of long distance touring while maintaining the clean aesthetic our community expects. This testing process gives you the confidence to settle in and enjoy the freedom of off grid life. You can see the results of this testing in our 12V Solar Panels or explore our durable Rooftop Tents built for the elements.

    Is Roam Gear expanding beyond solar products?

    Roam Gear is expanding into a wider range of 12 volt and campsite accessories that support your time off grid. While solar panels remain a core part of our range, we are developing new products that follow the same minimal and clean design philosophy. Our aim is to provide a complete ecosystem that reduces the friction of remote living without the cluttered look of traditional 12V gear.

    These new additions include practical items like power distribution boxes and mounting solutions built to handle real world conditions. By expanding our catalogue, we can help you build a more coordinated and functional setup for your vehicle or boat. You can explore our current selection of 12 Volt Accessories to see how the range is growing or look at our Power Systems for larger off grid projects.
