RV Electrical & Power System Upgrade // Full-Time Truck Camper Living
RV electrical and power systems can be complicated. If you've ever looked at your power center you've likely been overwhelmed by the number of various colored wires running in every direction.
We live full-time in our truck camper. And after 2 years of living and working from the road, we realized that we needed to make some upgrades to our RV electrical and power system.
Our current setup worked OK for us. But it did have its shortcomings. So we decided to tackle all of the wires and upgrade our batteries, inverter, and solar system.
We used all Renogy products for this upgrade because we love the products and customer and technical support. You can SAVE 10% off your Renogy purchase at the following link:
