Anybody want to check out what's become an absolute monster of a page on RV electrical upgrades? http://www.equalccw.com/hardcore.html I'm looking for critiques/suggestions/complaints/etc. from people of every skill and experience level. When done it's going to be on the site for RV Doctor George in Sacramento (http://www.rvdoctorgeorge.com/) and will be part of their start towards supporting and installing such setups. But the info will be good regardless of whether or not you're George's customer. Here's the index: INDEX: INTRODUCTION Sample alternative energy supply vendors THE CONCEPT IN GENERAL BATTERIES AC-POWERED BATTERY CHARGERS INVERTERS SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLERS SOLAR PANELS GENERATORS Propane Conventional Gas Inverter Gas Diesel WIRING, METERS, FUSES/BREAKERS AND SAFETY APPENDIX A: ENERGY CONSERVATION Air conditioning Refrigeration Lighting Insulation --------------- One note: right now I don't have a map of a system whereby a 50amp connection is supplemented on just one side with an inverter doing 110v-only output. I know a LOT of people here on BNO are doing such things and since that's one type of critter I haven't looked at, input would be appreciated. I also realize that my views on larger diesel gennies is purely "book learning" and may be off a bit, criticism there in particular very welcome. I'm also not satisfied yet with the "insulation" section of the energy savings appendix. |
