Scanstrut is bringing marine-grade durability and design to the RV market with the launch of the Ventura Series, a range of compact, weatherproof exterior utility sockets built for RVs, caravans, motorhomes, van conversions and overland vehicles.

Designed for life on the move, Ventura provides quick, reliable access to 12-volt power, USB-C, solar inputs, cold water, satellite TV and 125-volt AC mains, all from a low-profile, unified platform that saves panel space. Each socket features a spring-loaded, click-to-close lid, corrosion-resistant materials and marine-grade 316 stainless steel hardware. Rated IP68/IP69K, Ventura withstands rain, dust, mud and extreme conditions.

“Ventura Series is for RV owners, vanlifers and professional upfitters who demand tough, reliable exterior access without compromise,” said Fergus Brady, Ventura Series designer. “Charging, solar, wash down or powering camp equipment, Ventura keeps outdoor living simple, clean and connected.”

Compact & Easy to Install

With standard holesaw sizes, integrated gaskets and shallow installation depths, Ventura fits tight RV sidewalls and panels. Features like a 90° lid-hold, fully sprung opening and click-shut closure make daily use effortless.

8 Uniform Models

The Ventura Series launches with eight models, all sharing a uniform, professional look:

  • Dual USB-C Socket – high-power charging for phones, tablets and laptops
  • 12V Power Outlet – for compressors, fridges and accessories
  • Anderson 50A Solar Connection – for high-draw solar systems
  • SAE Solar Connection – compact solar input
  • XT60 Solar Connection – higher-voltage solar input
  • Dual 125V AC Outlet – outdoor mains power
  • Cold Water Outlet with Wash Down Kit – coiled hose and spray head included
  • Satellite / TV Connection – external aerial input

From beach camps to mountain trails, Ventura expands outdoor living while keeping cables and dirt outside.

Marine-Grade Engineering for the Road

With over 40 years of marine heritage, Scanstrut is known for products that survive water, vibration, UV, salt and extreme weather conditions far harsher than most land-based environments. That expertise now transfers directly to life on the road.

Post-2020, van-lifers and RV builders discovered Scanstrut marine-grade cable seals and waterproof USB chargers, quickly making them the solution of choice for roof-mounted solar panels, antennas, lighting and satellite systems. This momentum led to partnerships with leading RV manufacturers including THOR Industries, Winnebago and Erwin Hymer Group.

The Ventura Series, developed over two years, marks Scanstrut’s first purpose-built RV range. Each product is tested to marine standards for waterproofing, UV resistance and long-term durability, delivering fit-and-forget reliability.
