A full-size tower is a poor fit for most campervans and motorhomes. Console Forge builds compact Windows gaming PCs designed for spaces where footprint matters, without giving up the flexibility of a real PC.
In a campervan or motorhome, desk space, storage and ventilation are all limited. A smaller PC is easier to position, easier to move and less intrusive in the living area than a conventional gaming tower.
Console Forge systems are full Windows PCs, so they can be used for Steam, other PC game stores, streaming, browsing, media playback and everyday computing. They can also be set up around a controller and television or compact monitor rather than requiring a traditional desk.
The Mini uses a Ryzen 7 5700G with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics inside the InWin Chopin MAX. It is suited to 1080p esports, indie games, emulation, older AAA titles and lighter modern games.
In our testing, Cyberpunk 2077 achieved approximately 33 FPS average at 720p using FSR 2.1 Performance.
The Ridge combines a Ryzen 7 5700X with a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB in the slim Fractal Ridge chassis. It is intended for high-frame-rate 1080p, 1440p AAA gaming, ray tracing and 4K gaming in esports and lighter competitive titles.
In our own testing, Cyberpunk 2077 has run at around 55–60 FPS at 1440p with Ray Tracing Ultra and quality upscaling enabled.
A desktop PC needs a stable AC supply appropriate for the machine and everything else connected at the same time. The correct inverter, mains or shore-power setup depends on the vehicle electrical system.
Compact does not mean sealed. Keep the PC's intake and exhaust areas clear and avoid enclosing it in cupboards or spaces where soft furnishings, luggage or bedding can obstruct airflow.
Any PC used in a vehicle should be securely positioned for travel. The system should not be left loose where braking, cornering or rough roads could cause it to move or fall.
Console Forge supplies the PC, not vehicle electrical installation. If you are unsure about inverter capacity, cabling, battery systems or fixed installation, use a suitably qualified auto-electric or leisure-vehicle installer.
For a campervan or motorhome, the same machine can cover gaming, media, web browsing, route planning, photo management and general Windows use. That can be more space-efficient than carrying several separate devices.
Both Console Forge systems include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and Steam Big Picture can be configured for controller-friendly use. This makes a TV or compact monitor setup practical without needing a permanent keyboard-and-mouse desk.
For drivers who spend nights away, a compact PC can provide gaming and media without taking over limited cab storage or desk space.
Compact dimensions can make installation easier in constrained interiors, provided the system has suitable power, ventilation and secure placement.
A smaller PC is easier to transport and leaves more usable desk space while still giving you a full Windows gaming environment.
Yes, provided the vehicle has a suitable AC power source, enough electrical capacity for the PC and display, good ventilation and a secure mounting position.
Do not assume a normal desktop PC can be connected directly to a vehicle DC supply. Ridge and Mini are supplied as conventional PCs and require an appropriate power arrangement for their PSU.
Mini is the smallest and simplest to accommodate. Ridge is still compact but is the better choice if you want dedicated-GPU performance for modern AAA gaming.
Yes. Standard UK delivery is included, purchases use secure Shopify checkout, and Ridge and Mini include a 2-year parts and labour warranty with direct UK technical support.
Choose Mini for maximum compactness or Ridge for stronger gaming performance in a still-small footprint.
