Guides
Solar, batteries, and road gear for people who'd rather camp than return things. Every pick says who it's for and what's wrong with it.
All guides
Ordered the way most owners tackle a power upgrade: size it, buy it, wire it, then keep it healthy.
Batteries
Lithium or AGM: which battery belongs in your coach
How much of the label you can actually use, what the Megawatt calculator picks for compact, mid-size, and luxury rigs, and where AGM still makes sense.
Power
How to size an RV inverter
Add up the watts that run at the same time, add a margin, and match the battery voltage. Worked numbers for compact, mid-size, and luxury coaches.
Camping
Boondocking power: make a weekend off grid last
The dry camping habits from the Fleetwood manual, the one load that ends a quiet night, and the battery and solar we'd pair for two or three nights out.
Fleetwood
Adding solar to a Fleetwood motorhome
Start with the official owner's manual, measure the roof, size it from your loads, and know what the warranty says before you drill.
Maintenance
RV battery maintenance: what the Fleetwood manual actually says
The two battery banks, the cutoff switch, the storage rules most owners skip, and how lithium care differs from lead-acid.
Road gear
Three things to buy before your first long RV trip
A tire pressure monitor, an RV GPS, and a weather radio. Why each one earns its spot on the dash, and what to check before you buy.
How we pick
We show the reasoning, not stars
We size every pick with the Megawatt calculators and cite the Fleetwood manual when a step comes from it. We haven't lab tested these products, so you won't see ratings or review counts here. Each pick says who it fits and what's wrong with it.
