Our Story


We are Morgan and Ira, the owners of Joule Adventures! While you will find us constantly collaborating on projects, Morgan leads our business operations and Ira leads our system design and installations.

We have been living on and off the road since 2015. We started traveling together in our 2000 Ford Econoline, Charlene. While Charlene had a battery and a small A/C inverter, it was a poorly put together system that caused us a lot of headaches. We have lost all of our food after a battery malfunction, dropped conference calls, and sat with our van dead at a trailhead. We wish these headaches on no one, ever! Every road traveler deserves to feel like their electrical system is reliable!

It is through constantly troubleshooting, updating, and designing camper electrical systems, along with becoming certified and trained installers for EXPLORIST.life and Victron Energy, that we have become experts in camper electrical systems. Because of our robust electrical system, we have been able to continue our adventures on the road while staying connected for work over the past many years. And now we work to bring fellow road travelers the joy of exploring with a reliable electrical system!

We reside in the beautiful town of Blue River, Oregon which is tucked along the McKenzie River in between Eugene and Bend. Our van adventures have shaped us in many ways including leading us to our beautiful property. The power of an adventure is always life changing.

We are looking forward to working with you and powering your next adventure.

Cheers!
Morgan and Ira
