How To Install RV Or Recreation Vehicle Power Electrical System?
Sep 16 2022

A recreational vehicle, often called as RV, is a motor vehicle or trailer. Types of RVs include motorhomes, campervans, coaches, caravans (also known as travel trailers and camper trailers), fifth-wheel trailers, popup campers, and truck campers. RV becomes a modern and trendy vehicle for travel.

 

One of the big perks of RVing is having power wherever you go, whether you’re at a luxury campsite or boondocking in the wilderness. From cooking tasty meals to illuminating your rig after the sun sets, electricity can enhance your camping experience.

 

For the freshman, it is big trouble for them to install the RV power system or camper electrical system and understand the RV electricity consumes per day. RECREEN will take an example of Class C recreation vehicle RV in China as an example to introduce it. (Kindly notice Class B and travel trailer RVs will be introduced in the next article)

 

Just like your cars, RVs, motorhomes and campervans have a complex electrical system. Before configuring the RV power system, it’s better to notice these two points.

1. What applications do you need in the RVs every day for long or short travel?

2. What’s the composition of the power system? How to select the right product specifications?

 

The size of most class C motorhome in China is around 22 feet long, 8.6 feet width, and 9.7 height. Compared with travel trailer RV, the Class C RVs enjoy more space and better thermal insulation, which is suitable for multi-person families and long-term sojourn or long-distance travel. In many places on long-distance travel, it’s not possible to charge the mains electricity frequently, so many RV travelers have a relatively large demand for electricity.

 

We simulate the usage scenario for Class C motorhomes. Based on the appliances you need and the consumption of these appliances per day, Recreen has made two RV power systems for consideration.


First, for most class C motorhomes, the basic appliances like microwave, refrigeration, lighting, air conditional... are needed. According to the following table, the electricity consumption per day is about 7.5 KWh. Of course, small appliances such as electric kettles need to choose low-power ones.

Some riders may feel that 7.5 kWh of electricity is not enough, some people like photography, and they may use drones to shoot in the prairie; An open-air movie; there are riders who have higher requirements for cooking, and may install an oven or air fryer in the car. Recreen simulated the power reference meter in the case of using more electrical appliances in a day around 10 KWh as the following case.
