Just found out about this book. It is not the full answer to all questions, but seems to answer a big majority of the questions we seem to see here on the forum. Looks like a good addition to any RVers library.

Just from looking at the book preview, I'd suggest that if you don't already know most of this stuff, then an RV is not the place to learn about it.

A picture is worth a thousand words, even if some are misspelled.

I grew up in a family whose Dad and Grand Dad were self employed electricians. I became an Industrial electrician for 21 1/2 years after a 20 year career in Aircraft Maintenance. I get great entertainment out of some of the comments on electrical problems.

The advantage of a book is it works day or night, INdoors or out, INTERNET or NO INternet.

Computers need proper lighting, internet and POWER.

Of course.......... Well expierence is even better cause you can't misplace it.
not much of my RV's electrical I have not had hands on at some point.
(And that will be fixed next week).
Home was where I park it. but alas the.
