Automatic inverter-to-mains switching – compact, smart, and reliable
Looking to automatically switch between mains power and your inverter in a camper, food truck, or mobile workshop? The Van Meenen relay is exactly what you need. This smart power selector automatically chooses the correct 230V power source, keeping your sockets active without manual switching or bulky equipment.
How does the Van Meenen relay work?
The Van Meenen relay is a compact automatic switch that instantly connects to shore power when you plug in. Disconnect the plug, and the inverter or generator automatically takes over. Your system stays online – without any interruption.
Perfect if you want your internal sockets to work on both mains and inverter power, with no need to manually toggle.
Main advantages:

Fully automatic – no manual operation required
-
Keeps your sockets working – no rewiring needed
-
Always prioritizes mains input – compliant with standards

Why choose the Van Meenen relay instead of an expensive transfer switch?
Many automatic transfer switches for motorhomes are expensive, bulky, and difficult to install. They often require complex wiring and take up a lot of space — while most users just want their sockets to automatically switch between shore power and inverter.
The Van Meenen switching relay offers a smarter solution:
-
Compact size – fits easily into any camper cupboard
-
Simple installation – no complex wiring required
-
Affordable price – does exactly what you need, without unnecessary extras
Perfect for anyone looking for a practical and budget-friendly solution with automatic shore power priority.
Ideal for people who ask:
-
“How can I power my sockets with mains and inverter?”
-
“I want automatic switchover without a manual switch.”
-
“Is there a compact priority relay for my camper?”
-
“My 230V system should switch between sources by itself.”
Use cases:
-
Campers with an inverter and external hookup
-
Food trucks needing to switch between generator and grid
-
Mobile workshops with automatic power switching
-
Solar installations with inverter backup
