About CC
Cruising Customs provides high quality dual battery systems in vehicles. Owned by electrician, James Hancock, CC was started from a passion for life on the road. Hancock has many years experience in the electrical field and expert knowledge from spending years fitting out emergency vehicles. Now Cruising Customs operates from a workshop in Fairy Meadow, alongside skilled builder, Ellis Baker from Dogged Campers providing comfortable and stylish setups for people to get out and explore our beautiful country.
A reliable, well-thought out electrical system that performs is an essential part of any camper build. The beers have to be cold, the speaker has to be charged and the lighting perfect. But most of all, the electrical system needs to be safe. Our builds use only high-quality gear, with all the proper protection and safety measures in place, designed to perform day in and day out, whether that’s just for your everyday electrical needs in your vehicle or for your longer off-grid camping adventures.
No two electrical systems will be the same, Cruising Customs will work with you and your budget to provide whatever dual battery system you need. When you’re ready to get started, visit our Get Cruising page.

Early Days.
An electrical apprenticeship as a teenager was the start of many years to come in the electrical industry. Beginning in the mechanical-electrical field, as well as domestic environments, then moving on to a position fitting out emergency vehicles for a leading NSW company. This role showed the ropes on many facets of electrical setups in vehicles - and vehicles where reliability was incredibly important: ambulances, fire and rescue trucks to name a few.

Home on the Road.
Years in this position provided extensive knowledge in dual battery systems, which was then applied to build a van and take it travelling around Australia. Time on the road showed a lot about what electrical setups perform well off-grid and the essentials for living out of a vehicle

OFF-GRID TRAVELLING.
Returning home and diving back into emergency vehicle work, with a new drive for refining skills and expanding experience, I then got a Landcruiser Troopcarrier. This meant a whole new setup with even greater capabilities since the Troopy would go on to take me all around Australia again, this time to even more remote locations. The electrical system never let me down - ice cold fridge, charged up tools and devices, various interior and exterior lighting, emergency battery jump starter, solar power, DC-DC charger, inverter and much more.

Cruising Customs.
Then, Cruising Custom was launched. A company founded on a shared passion of beautiful vehicles, unforgettable camping experiences and creating a home on the road. Now we get to work on diverse builds, crafting custom dual battery systems to suit every need.
