RD Auto Electrics
Riley's off-grid installs have customers driving from Perth and across Australia to his Davenport workshop.
Riley is the only name in basically every one, so you are getting the actual installer, not a rotating crew. The strongest pattern is that customers plan trips around this workshop, driving from Perth or across the country for lithium systems in caravans and utes. A few reviews describe how the setup handled serious off-road travel, including an 8,000 kilometre Simpson Desert crossing. One review is a 1 star and says a system failed and had to be redone elsewhere. That concern appears once in the 50 we read, so it clears no bar, but it is fair to confirm every wiring spec on your quote before work starts. For a big off-grid build, ask what the waitlist looks like because multiple reviewers booked months ahead.

About RD Auto Electrics
Riley runs a workshop in Davenport that mostly builds off-grid 12 volt systems for caravans, utes, and touring four-wheel drives. Customers drive from Perth, Bunbury, and even Melbourne to have him do lithium installs, drawer systems, and Redarc or Enerdrive fit-outs. He works on the vehicle itself and the van or trailer, so the charging and towing side actually talks to the camping side. Reviews keep noting he finds and fixes factory wiring mistakes while he is in there. The work is described as neat enough that people post photos before they even test it. He explains the finished system before you leave, then stays reachable when you have questions later. Best suited to people planning serious off-grid travel rather than quick domestic callouts.
Best for: full off-grid lithium and solar builds for caravans, dual-cab utes and touring four-wheel drives, plus well-planned accessory fit-outs.

How far ahead do I need to book?+
Multiple reviewers say he was booked well in advance because the work is in demand. One customer said the wait was worth it for the quality. For a full off-grid system, start the conversation early and expect to lock in a future slot.

Does he explain the system after the install?+
Reviewers consistently say yes. He goes through the setup, shows how everything works, and answers follow-up questions later. One customer got a reply within about ten minutes on a night he sent a message.
Does RD Auto Electrics fix existing issues as well as do new installs?+
Several reviews say they found factory wiring problems or incorrect original installations and fixed them during the job. One customer also mentioned having a solar cable repaired promptly. The bulk of reviews centre on new off-grid builds rather than one-off repair work.
