Not Just a Winter Drive—It’s an Expedition

Cape Town’s winter isn’t just a season—it’s a proving ground. Fog creeps down mountain passes. Trails turn to slush. And if your rig isn’t ready, adventure becomes an inconvenience real fast.

But here’s the thing: when you’ve got the right gear, the cold is half the fun. That’s where Deltec and Front Runner come in. From dual-battery setups to rugged roof racks, we help turn ordinary 4x4s into winter-hardy explorers.

Let’s build your overland rig into a cold-weather beast.

Start With the Powerhouse—Your Battery Setup

Here’s the cold truth: batteries hate the cold. And yet, they’re what keeps your fridge humming, your lights glowing, and your gear charging.

That’s why we start with the Deltec 1250 High-Cycle Battery. It’s designed for deep cycling, which means you can run your accessories without stressing about draining your starter battery.

Now pair it with a proper dual battery installation at Deltec, and suddenly you’re powering your gear independently—with fuses, isolators, and solid wiring included. And to make that system smarter? Add a Victron DC-DC charger that safely transfers power while you drive, even on short trips in the rain.

Power equals freedom. And freedom tastes better with a hot cup of coffee and a charged GPS.

Gear That Handles the Cold—Meet Front Runner

Roof racks? They’re not just about carrying more stuff—they’re about doing more out there. As an authorised Front Runner dealer and installer, Deltec has everything you need to make your vehicle more capable, flexible, and camp-ready.

We’re talking:

• Roof-top tents that go up in minutes, rain or shine
• Rack-mounted prep tables for quick meals off the back
• Jerry can and gas bottle brackets for safe off-road storage
• Storage boxes that lock in, rattle-free

Whether you’re loading firewood, a surfboard, or your dog’s food bowl, Front Runner systems are modular, secure, and sleek.

Charging Off the Grid—Solar the Smart Way

Winter days are shorter, and power drains faster. That’s where Victron MPPT solar charge controllers come in.

MPPT tech pulls every usable watt from your panel—even on cloudy mornings. Pair this with your Deltec high-cycle battery, and you’ve got a solar-charged system that works whether you’re parked in Cederberg or off the R355.

Solar isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore. It’s your Plan B… and C.

Fitment Done Right—By Experts Who Get It

At Deltec, we don’t just sell the parts—we install them, too. Whether it’s a second battery system, a roof rack installation, or full 4×4 electrical wiring, our workshop is kitted out for the job.

Our technicians understand the difference between looking off-road ready and being off-road ready. Neat cable runs. Correct fuse ratings. Proper isolation. It all matters.

You bring the rig. We’ll bring the know-how.

Final Check—Are You Really Ready?

Before you take the backroads this winter, ask yourself: can your setup handle a flat battery, a frozen tent pole, or a surprise storm?

• Expert second battery fitment
• Deltec 1250 High-Cycle Batteries in stock
