Collection: 4x4 Accessories
Shop practical 4x4 accessories for touring, camping and getting your setup ready for the road. Our range includes useful 12V, electrical, storage and touring accessories suited to 4WDs, caravans and camping setups.
Whether you're setting up a touring vehicle, replacing an existing accessory or adding something useful before your next trip, check the product specifications carefully before ordering. Voltage, dimensions, mounting requirements and compatibility can vary between vehicles and installations, so choosing the right product for your setup is more important than simply finding something that looks similar.
4x4 Accessories for Touring & Camping
4x4 Accessories for Touring and Camping
A good touring setup doesn't need to be filled with gear you never use. The most useful 4x4 accessories are generally the ones that solve a real problem, make the vehicle easier to use or help with your power and camping setup while you're away.
12V Accessories
12V sockets, USB outlets and other electrical accessories can make it easier to power and charge compatible equipment around your 4WD. Before fitting anything new, check the voltage, current rating, wiring and circuit protection required.
Touring Power Equipment
If you travel away from powered sites, equipment such as solar panels, DC-to-DC chargers and inverters can form part of a touring power setup. These products need to be matched to your battery system and the equipment you intend to run.
Camping and Touring Accessories
Small touring accessories can make setting up and packing away easier without taking up too much room in the vehicle. Think about how often you'll use an item, where you'll store it and whether it suits the way you travel.
Caravan and 4WD Setups
Many people use their 4WD and caravan as one touring setup. When choosing accessories, consider how equipment in the tow vehicle works with the power, charging and camping equipment fitted to the caravan.
Choosing the Right 4x4 Accessories
Choosing the Right 4x4 Accessories
Start with what you actually need from your touring setup. Buying an accessory for a specific job usually makes more sense than adding equipment simply because it's commonly fitted to other 4WDs.

|---|---|---|
| 12V Accessories | Powering compatible touring equipment | Voltage, current rating, wiring and mounting |
| USB Charging | Charging phones and compatible USB devices | Input voltage, USB output and installation size |
| DC-to-DC Charging | Charging an auxiliary battery while travelling | Battery type, charging current and system compatibility |
| Solar Equipment | Supporting off-grid battery charging | Panel output, space, controller and battery system |
| Inverters | Running compatible AC equipment from a battery system | Power requirement, battery capacity, cabling and installation |

What to Check Before Buying
What to Check Before Buying 4x4 Accessories
Not every 4x4 accessory suits every vehicle or touring setup. Check the product requirements before ordering, particularly when electrical installation or permanent mounting is involved.
Check Vehicle Compatibility
Check the product dimensions, voltage and installation requirements against your vehicle. Don't assume a product will suit every 4WD simply because it is sold as a touring accessory.
Check Your 12V System
If you're fitting electrical equipment, understand the voltage, battery setup and available circuit capacity. Wiring, fuses and other circuit protection need to suit the equipment being installed.
Consider Your Actual Power Use
Before buying solar, an inverter or charging equipment, work out what you intend to power and how often you'll use it. This gives you a much better starting point for choosing equipment than simply buying the largest available option.
Measure the Installation Area
Check the available mounting space before ordering permanently fitted equipment. Allow room for wiring, ventilation and access where required.
Think About Weight and Storage
Touring gear adds up quickly. Consider where an accessory will be stored or mounted and keep your vehicle's payload and weight limits in mind when building your setup.
Get Professional Help Where Required
More involved electrical installations should be properly designed, wired and protected. If you're unsure about cable sizing, battery charging, circuit protection or installation, use a suitably qualified professional.
4x4 Accessories FAQs
4x4 Accessories FAQs
What 4x4 accessories are useful for touring?
That depends on how you travel. Useful touring accessories can include 12V power outlets, USB charging, battery charging equipment, solar products and practical camping accessories. Start with equipment that solves a genuine need in your setup.
Can I use caravan 12V accessories in my 4WD?
Some 12V products may be suitable for both caravan and vehicle installations, but compatibility depends on the individual product and electrical system. Check the voltage, current rating, wiring and installation requirements first.
What does a DC-to-DC charger do in a 4WD?
A DC-to-DC charger is commonly used to charge an auxiliary battery from the vehicle's charging system while driving. The charger needs to suit the battery and electrical setup it is connected to.
Can I use solar with my 4WD battery setup?
Solar can form part of a 4WD auxiliary battery setup when used with suitable charging equipment. Panel size, battery capacity, solar controller and daily power use all need to be considered.
Do I need an inverter in my 4WD?
An inverter is generally used when you need to run compatible AC equipment from a battery system away from mains power. If your equipment runs directly from 12V or USB power, you may not need one.
How do I choose the right 12V accessories?
Check the voltage, current requirements, mounting dimensions and intended use. Make sure the wiring and circuit protection are also suitable for the electrical load.
Should I consider vehicle weight when adding 4x4 accessories?
Yes. Accessories, batteries, camping equipment, passengers and cargo all contribute to vehicle weight. Keep the vehicle manufacturer's weight limits in mind when setting up your 4WD for touring.
Can I install 4x4 electrical accessories myself?
That depends on the product and your experience. Even 12V equipment needs suitable wiring, connections and circuit protection. For more involved installations, use someone with the appropriate knowledge and qualifications.
