Customer Reviews

Outstanding

I highly recommend this book. I purchased a used motorhome with an electrical system which had been "modified" by previous owner(s). This book tells you what a new RV or boat owner needs to know and does it in a very direct way.

If you like to camp, this book is for you!

Excellent source of information about your 12-volt system. Explains things in plain English, you don't have to be an electrician to understand the contents. If you have a trailer, toy hauler, or motorhome with a 12-volt system, get it and keep it in the RV. You'll be glad you did!

Solid basic guide for do-it-yourselfer

Ordered book to help me plan an RV electrical system upgrade. Found it easy to follow and it answered virtually all the questions I had about how to add a second battery to my RV, upgrade my battery charging capability, install an inverter, etc. Recommended.

It's already paid for itself.

I've used it,and it helped me solve my problem and it saved me the cost of having someone else do it.

great intro to auto electronics

for a long time now, i was looking for a "start from scratch" book in understanding auto electronics. a book with illustrations that actually explains how it works. this book is a great introduction, a must buy if you really want to know the fundamentals. even though it's about RV's too, it tells you all you need to know about autos. the more you read, the better you understand what you read. i now know how the battery really works, know what it really does, what the altenator does. i know about switches, sensor,actuators and solenoids now. at first you you need time to grasp the concept, but it gets easy to understand very quickly. 5 stars.
