5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive
Comprehensive manual to learn electrical theory and maintenance of your RV.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great content, print is too small.
My original review is below, however I am revising this review:This book was printed nearly 20 years ago, but the content is still very relevant, I suppose that the reason for the small print. In order to read this book, I have excepted the fact that I must have a very bright light, and I am able to get the content.Now about the book and the materials. It is right on the mark to get a beginner up to par to understanding the RV electrical systems. I have a good mechanical knowledge and some electrical background but not a mechanic, nor a RV technician. From this books content I was able to determine the cause of a problem in my newly acquired RV and repair it That alone is worth far beyond the cost of this book. I believe I need to understand these systems so that I can diagnose problems when I am on the road.I highly recommend this book to be in every RV if you are the type who prefers to diagnose and fix items when possible. The only reason for 4 vs. 5 stars if the size of the print and the fact that I cannot get the companion copy on the Kindle at no additional cost.First look review (I was angry when this was written!):This book is printed in such a small font that I am unable to comfortably read the content. It is the same size font as the next smallest on my kindle. I normally read on my Kindle whenever possible. In this case I bought the hard copy because it has so many charts, tables and pictures, which are a major part of the content. I recently purchase another book in hard copy and to my surprise it then allowed me to down load the Kindle version at no additional cost. I found that to be great, and if that were the case with this book I could possibly re-access my rating after reading all of the content. In the the mean time, I refuse to buy the book twice, once in print then again on kindle in order to get the full content.

5.0 out of 5 stars More book than you bargained for!
I am an RV technician, and I LOVE this book. It truly goes into areas that a technician often doesn't have the time to explore. It exploits typical weaknesses within electrical systems and their mods to fix them. The section on alternators is top notch. It's a little bit like the gravy a technician only gets by talking shop with someone who's been at it for 35 years. For the average RV user... if you have any desire to learn the electrical system, rest assured - this is what you want. It's twice or three times the book I bargained for, and the knowledge within it goes above the calling of it's title. RV's are not always made with the end user in mind, and not only does this book help you learn (or confirm) the ins and outs of RV electrics, but it teaches you how to IMPROVE those systems, big time. I might add, as a technician speaking here... I'm also talking about very expensive RV's at times. They don't always build things like they should, at any price tag, and the author of this book is beyond expert in his understanding of that concept.
3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview but very dated
An great book for its time, but much of the info regarding products, manufacturers and even 'modern' techniques are from the mid-90's, when written... so the reference material is useless. But the discussions of electrical fundamentals is solid and well written - Ohms law is still the same, naturally. It has an extensive chapter on batteries, including their design, maintenance and types but doesnt even mention lithium (again its 25 years old material...).So worth reading to learn fundamentals but useless as a modern parts, suppliers, techniques reference.
5.0 out of 5 stars Clear information!
Would recommend!
4.0 out of 5 stars It was published in 1997
So I am new to RVs. And read half this book. I learned so much about electricity. Some was simple. Some is hard to grasp for me. For others will be easy. Great well written book. So as I am enjoying learning about new inverters and converters I decide to see when is was published. Wow. Its old. And IM old! I have a 1996 RV so in some ways its the perfect book. And from my research somethings have just not changed that much. But over 20 years a lot of technology has changed a lot.How ever for me personally I have been working as an audio engineer for 30 years, I have actually wired 3 basments and a few studios and still. Chapter one taught me so much it opened my world.I just feel that the hey almost should not sell a book that has not been updated and people should know. Unless I read it wrong.But i do love this book odly being a teck book. But im kind of a nerd like that.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pertinent to Now, Perfect For The Past
This book will help you understand the basics of RV electrical systems. That said, much has changed since the publication of this book. I specialize in classic and antique coaches, usually mid 90s for resale purposes and find this guide to be just what is needed from its release date back to the 70s in solving all manner of dilemmas. But with confidence.
Back to Basics
Great starting read for understanding your RV's electrics.
RV ELECTRICS
Another indispensable booklet if you own an American Motorhome, again despite the fact that we repair them, their is always something to be learnt from someone else's experience.
Great little practical guide
. When my pair of 6 volts discharged completely in the Yukon, I decided I needed more than just a faint recollection of undergrad physics. This book fits the bill.
très bien
bon livre, explication simple et pertinente.
