RV Help – Avoiding dangerous electrical issues in your RV
We all have different motivations to pack up the RV and hit the road. One of the most common reasons is the freedom to explore our beautiful country. Another common reason is just to get away from the daily grid. Many RVers seek beauty and isolation. We accomplish this through boondocking. To boondock, your RV needs to be 100% self-sufficient. You need to generate your own power, have plenty of fresh water in your tanks and plenty of space in your holding tanks. Back in 2017, my wife Tracey and I discovered the pure joy of boondocking in august at an altitude over 9000’ overlooking Laramie, Wyoming. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We were instantly hooked. We had a very capable generator on our motorhome and every morning I needed to start the generator to run our power-hungry coffee machine……what a buzz kill. From peace and quiet to the constant drone of the generator. That’s when we decided we needed to get a solar setup with more capable batteries and a large inverter. Today’s dose of RV help is our second segment on RV electrical issues. This confession relates specifically to the generation of off grid solar power, but the actual problem applies to ALL RVs of any configuration. In this episode, I'll talk about ✔️ When DIY makes sense (and when it’s a money pit)✔️ Why a certified tech might save you more✔️ What you need to know before grabbing your tools✔️ How one bad board became a hot mess (pun intended)
