RV Converters
Just when I thought we thoroughly covered RV electrical systems I get another good question about something I failed to discuss in my previous articles. I received one of these good questions the other day and thought there would be many other RVers who would like to hear the answer.
Question: In one of your previous articles you list the RV converter as drawing 5 amps. Since, I believe, the converter is operating any time you plug into a 120 volt AC system (30 Amp), does this mean that in reality you only have 25 amps to work with (30 minus 5 = 25, and not considering clock draws, etc.)? I am developing an electric amp chart to hang inside a cabinet and I need to resolve this question as this would make a significant difference.
First of all let's talk briefly about what your RV converter does. When you plug your RV into an electrical source, or when you use the onboard generator, the converters job is to reduce 120 volts AC down to 12 volt DC to supply power to all of the 12 volt appliances and accessories in the RV. If you weren't plugged into an electrical source your RV battery(s) would supply the power to all of the 12 volt appliances and accessories in the RV. The converter basically prevents your RV battery(s) from draining when you're plugged in.
There are two types of amperage draw concerning your RV. The AC amps we are using and the DC amps we are using. I'll try to explain. When you plug your RV into an electrical source and use 120 volt appliances like the roof air conditioner, the microwave and a TV you are drawing amps from the available supply at the campground, usually 30 or 50 amps depending on your RV electrical system and the electrical supply you are plugged into. When you're plugged into an electrical source and you use DC appliances and accessories like fans, lights, pumps or the TV antenna booster you are drawing amps from the converter. Are you more confused now than when we started? Let's try wording this a little different.
Let's say you plug your RV into a 30 amp electrical supply and you only use 120 volt appliances. You're using available amps from the 30 amp electrical supply for whatever 120 volt appliances are running, but the converter is drawing almost 0 amps because you're not using any DC accessories. It will use a small amount for items like the LP gas leak detector, clocks or maybe an aisle light, but not enough to really affect the amperage you are plugged into.
Your RV converter is rated for a certain amperage i.e. 30 amps, 45 amps, 55 amps. In other words a 45 amp converter is capable of running 45 amps worth of 12 volt appliances in the RV. When your RV converter is working at its maximum capacity, which in this case is producing 45 amps for 12 volt appliances and accessories, it is drawing around 5 amps out of the 30 amps available from the campground electrical supply.
Let's say you're plugged in and you're using a couple of 12 volt overhead lights (2 amps) and a ceiling fan (4 amps). In this case your converter is drawing very little from the campgrounds 30 amp electrical supply. In another scenario let's say you're using a lot of 12 volt overhead lights (8 amps), you're running the furnace fan (11 amps), water pump (4 amps), 12-volt television (5 amps), range hood fan (2.5 amps), and the battery is being charged by the converter charger (3 amps). Now, when the converter is running close to its full capacity it draws the full 5 amps from the campgrounds 30 amps, leaving you with 25 amps for other 120 volt appliances and accessories. As you can see it's unlikely that all of this would be happening at one time. The bottom line is the converter amperage draw will fluctuate depending on the 12 volt demand placed on it.
Another question I was asked was; I know my converter is also a battery charger so why won't it bring my discharged batteries back to a full charge? RV converters do provide a charge to your RV house batteries, but only a small portion of the converters amperage rating is used for this. Normally 3 to 5 amps, which are not nearly enough to charge batteries that are discharged.
The converter battery charger is designed to keep the house batteries topped off with this trickle charge. Another problem with older RV converters is they charge at a fixed voltage in the range of 13.5 volts. If your batteries are fully charged this can be too much for a float charge and over time it will deplete the water level in the batteries cells. This is why it's important to check the water level in your batteries on a regular basis, especially when you leave the RV plugged in for extended periods of time. You need a three stage charger that can provide a bulk charge then an absorption charge and finally a float charge. Newer RV converters on the market are capable of charging the batteries this way.
Now, to help you out with your amp chart I am including some typical amperage draws for appliances and accessories commonly used in RV's. Keep in mind I'm not an expert on electricity by any stretch of the imagination. This is just a basic guide to assist you in how many amps you are using at any given time. If you need to know exact amperage ratings you can check the data plate on any motors, appliances or electronic equipment you are using. If you can't locate a data plate with this information check the appliance or electronic equipment owner's manual. This information might provide wattage requirements rather than amps. Here are a couple of simple formulas to help you convert some common electrical terms.
Wattage % Volts = Amps
Amps X Volts = Wattage
One other thing to keep in mind is many RV appliances require more amps to start the appliance than they do to run the appliance. A roof air conditioner can draw 16 amps to start, but may only use 13 amps once it is running.
120 Volt AC Amp Ratings:
Appliance or Electronic Equipment Estimated Amps
Air Conditioner (X number of A/C) 12-16 Amps
Blender 5-6 Amps
Coffee Maker 5-8 Amps
Compact Disc Player 1 Amp
Computer (Laptop) 2-3 Amps
Converter 1-5 Amps
Crock Pot 1-2 Amps

A Portable Car Fridge - A Camping Necessity
A car fridge can prove to be very useful when you go camping. As these camping sites are usually away from stores and malls, this is a very handy addition to your camping gear. When you are completely equipped, your camping experience will be a pleasurable one to remember for a long time.
Recently I went on a trip with my son to a hot and dusty part of the country. Unfortunately, we were not equipped with a camping fridge, and we had warm water and juice for days. If we had had a fridge in the car, it would have been a lot more fun.
The type of car mini fridge available today plug into car 12 volt cigarette lighters. Also, it is advisable to carry an extension cord so the fridge can be placed outside of the car as well. A fridge in car was unheard of previously, but now it is becoming a necessity for people who love camping. With a fridge inside the car, you can have cold drinks and your food will be fresh during the days when you are camping, away from the comforts of your home.
If you look carefully on the internet, you will be able to learn what you need to know to decide which camping fridge meets your needs. You can find all the necessary details of a fridge in car like the power consumption, the voltage and the prices of all the different types of portable camping fridges.
When camping it seems everyone is perpetually hungry. The camping fridge is a boon. Unlike old fashioned coolers that rely on ice, the new generation uses 12 volt electricity to keep food fresh. Nobody will take the risk of falling ill after consuming stale food. The fridge for camping will ensure that everyone is hale and hearty.
Having a fridge for camping keeps you tension free. Your thirst will always be quenched with ready cold drinks. It's a new experience, not to be concerned about a scarcity of fresh food or cold drinks in the camp.
We really recommend using an extension cord as well - this will enable you to keep the fridge in the trunk area if you don't want it up front, and will also give you flexibility to access it outside of your vehicle.
It is an excellent idea to have camping fridges along with you while camping. You can stay happy and trouble free throughout the camp. It is a luxury, yet it is taking the shape of an item of absolute necessity. Camping fridges must feature in the checklist of items to prepare before setting off for a camp.

DC To AC Power Inverters
Inverters are the essential step between a battery's DC power and the AC power needed by standard household electrical systems. In a grid connected home, an inverter connected to a battery bank can provide an uninterruptible source of backup power in the event of power failures, or can be used to sell extra alternative energy power back to the utility company.
A "DC to AC" power inverter, also termed DC to AC converter, electronically converts DC power from a battery to 60 hertz AC power at 120 volts like in homes. Batteries produce power in direct current (DC) form, which run at very low voltages but cannot be used to run most modern household appliances. Inverters take the DC power supplied by a storage battery bank and electronically convert it to AC power. An inverter used for backup power in a grid connected home will use grid power to keep the batteries charged, and when grid power fails, it will switch to drawing power from the batteries and supplying it to the building electrical system.
Most modern inverters also include over voltage and under voltage protection, protecting sensitive equipment from dangerous power surges as well. All the DC to AC power inverters requires a 12-volt input, but there is a wide range of models available in the market depending on the output wattage that they supply. A few of the most widely used models are 150 watts, 325 watts, 600 watts, 1500 watts and 3000 watts. The lower wattage, models can be directly connected to a cars cigarette lighter socket, while the larger ones must be directly wired to bigger batteries.
Typical applications for a DC-AC power inverter include microwave ovens, televisions, video recorders, computer and power tools and monitoring/communications equipment.

Advantages Of Owning A Recreational Vehicle
Bonding with family and friends would mean having fun and these days having fun would normally mean being outside the comfort zone or going to a place that is cool and riding in a recreational vehicle. Years ago when our folks would say "let's go camping" we would rush into our closet and grab a tent but nowadays going on a camp would mean riding in a recreational vehicle and heading somewhere. Thank goodness for the creation of RVs and camping would not mean staying in a tent that is so small and unsafe.
The stressful lifestyle that we have and the polluted environment that we are living, all of these makes us crave to go out on a trip to a place away from the stressful city and polluted community. This is one of the reasons why RVs are becoming so popular to many countries. RVs are also known as motorhomes and travel trailers by most folks. People like to travel in a recreational vehicle rather than taking the car, bus or train because it offers comfort and security just like a home does. Depending on the style and the owner's decision, a motorhome can have amenities just like a home. It can have a cooking stove, oven, generator, refrigerator, bed, comfort room, furniture, cabinets, shower, television, computer, and yes even bath tub. This is also the big difference if you have an RV; you can cook your own meal, sleep in a comfortable bed, can take a bath anytime that you want and go anywhere that you want.
Another advantage of having an RV is that it can save you money. Believe it or not but yes RVs can actually help you save money. If you are the type of person who is constantly on the road or someone who loves the outdoors then you should get an RV. Not only will you be able to save hundreds of dollars annually from hotel bills and from dining out in a fancy restaurant but with RVs you do not have to worry where to spend the night if you are in an unfamiliar place.
If you do not have the money to buy a brand new recreational vehicle then buy a second-hand travel trailers. There are actually many used travel trailers that are in good running condition. Be diligent in choosing the best RVs and in the end you will get the best one. When shopping for used travel trailers it is best if you do a little research online about the company where you intend to buy. Know its reputation by joining forums and online discussion. Through here you will know if their vehicles are in top shape and if their price is reasonable.
