Before you choose
Is Crimp only for campervans?
No. You can also plan boat and off-grid systems. Choose the appropriate design profile and check its limits; Crimp offers marine ABYC-based sizing and a separate RV/camper DC-planning profile.
Planning tools do not approve an installation. Check the exact manuals and the calculation limits. See what Crimp checks.
