The Nohma Ventura Series Guide!

Wanting to see the perfect installation of the Ventura series? Look no further than Nohma for the perfect set-up inspiration!

We catch-up with Charlie and Dale, co-founders of Nohma, formerly known as Climbingvan, and authors of The Van Conversion Bible, as they have been early adopters of the Ventura Series.

Charlie & Dale: "If you’ve ever wrestled with clunky connectors and awkward inputs, you’ll know how hard it is to find something that works and looks good. That’s where the Scanstrut Ventura Series comes in. This beautifully designed range of utility sockets was created specifically for life on the road – whether that’s a few weekends a year, a long off-grid adventure, or a full-time rolling home setup.

With a background in marine innovation, Scanstrut knows what it means to build gear that lasts. Their Ventura Series takes the best of that know-how – waterproofing, corrosion resistance, and clean installation – and brings it into the world of campervans, RVs, and overlanders. So if you’re after something sleek, simple to install, and built for real-world conditions, here’s everything you need to know about the Scanstrut Ventura Series."


The Nohma breakdown of Scanstrut Ventura Series:
The real strength of the Scanstrut Ventura Series is how many different utility needs it covers – all with the same smart design and weatherproof reliability. 

12V power outlet (cigarette lighter) Ideal for inflating paddleboards, powering cool boxes, or running lights and fans. Works with standard car-style V plugs.
Dual USB-C charging socket (60W) High-speed charging for laptops, phones, tablets, and more. Great for digital nomads who need a fast, reliable top-up between work sessions.
SAE solar connector
XT60 solar connector
Anderson solar connector (50A)

Three options for a plug-and-play portable solar panel connection. Designed for people who want solid electrical connection with minimal hassle. Offers a quick disconnect for flexible setups.

Freshwater outlet An easy way to connect a shower head, for showers under the stars. Perfect for anyone with limited internal space (see our campervan shower article for ideas of how to incorporate this into your build).
SAT/TV connector Provides a sealed cable entry point for satellite dishes or external antennas. Perfect for temporary connections, without the need to mount a permanent antenna to your roof.

 

 

Waterproof and built to last:

"Every product in the Scanstrut Ventura range is durable, designed for use in tough environments. From muddy forest tracks to salty sea air, these sockets and inlets are designed to keep working no matter where you go.

Each unit is rated IP68 and IP69K, which means they’re both dust-tight and protected against powerful jets of water. In real-world terms, you can wash down your van with a pressure washer or park through a week of sideways rain without worrying about water ingress. It’s the kind of durability that’s standard in the marine world – and now available for your van build.

The use of stainless steel means that exterior lids and bezels are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for coastal use. Even the internal gaskets and seals are carefully engineered to deliver a tight, long-lasting seal. So, you can focus on the journey, not the maintenance."


Who is the Scanstrut Ventra Series for, according to Charlie and Dale:

The beauty of the Scanstrut Ventura Series is its broad appeal. Whether you’re living full-time in a long-wheelbase camper or just heading off for weekend escapes in a micro-camper, there’s real value in having well-built, good-looking systems that just work.

  • DIY adventurers will love the flexibility, ease of installation, and solar-ready options. No unnecessary features – just practical, smart solutions that fit the way you travel.

  • Lux trippers who might be newer to van life will appreciate the stylish, premium feel of the Ventura range. It adds polish to a build and ensures you’re not cutting corners on something as vital as power and water connections.

  • Long-term travellers can trust that Ventura is made to last. It’s marine-grade for a reason – designed to handle movement, moisture, temperature changes, and heavy use without wearing out or rusting over time.
