I am a female that just plugged something in and if a fuse went screamed fix it. Spoiled most of my life and remained ignorant on how electrical power works. I am now 56 years old and homeless living in a travel trailer in Canada. I like how you teach I can understand and follow along. Thank you for your time and knowledge and your willingness to share.
I just started working around RVs. When customers ask about the different plugs, I tell them I don't know and I ask the manager. After watching your video, I now know the manager doesn't know either. Now I can give the customer the right information in an intelligent way. Thank you so much for breaking this down, I will watch this a couple of times but now I'm not in the dark. lol pardon the pun Please...MORE. You are great!
OMG!!!! THIS WAS SOO GOOD. JUST GOT MY RV. IM 64 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND TOTALLY BRAIN IMTIMADATION BLOCKAGE ABOUT THIS KIND OF THINGS. I WISH HE HAD ACTUAL CLASSES THAT COVERS EVERYTHING
Can this guy do every instructional video on youtube please. I'm just now seeing this 4 years later. Why is this guy not in every commercial representing every major company. He's like the Sam Elliot of tutorial, diy and walkthrough videos. Why are we not paying this man for simply being alive. My god some tutorials that are so long or blisteringly pointless that lead to dead ends or learning absolutely. This guy is gold. He's everybodys favorite mentor Somebody please make a movie about this guy. Or clone him for christs sake. Amazing video I'm an expert now seriously. He makes it so simple and easy. Thank you so much.
I dunno why, but the series/parallel battery configuration animation made more sense than two semesters of calc based physics and lab at university. Thanks! This video is great. I just had to look up “dry camping” is all 😅
This video should be required for everyone. I'm serious!!! I'm getting all my kids to watch this now. I appreciate your even toned explanations and the great content you put together. I have a friend who almost lost his life because he knew automotive power well and thought it would be the same with 220vAC, you can imagine what happened. Thanks for this, I'll be sharing as I hope others do as well. Regards...!
Wow, this is truly the first video I actually understood on my RV and electrical system. I was just about giving up until I saw the video. I’ll still use a professional but at least I don’t feel dumb. Excellent teaching skills, easy and very helpful analogies with a very “you can do it attitude”. Thank You so much!
Tim... Simply EXCELLENT! To the point, relevant and not a time-waster! Thanks for honoring your viewers by giving us the "skinny" without needless info!
What an excellent tutorial on RV power systems. Clear, concise, humorous, with diagrams. Made it so clear. I learned what blew my DC system too - the old circuit breaker that most likely has to be replaced. This saved me a major expense and many hours of head scratching. Very much appreciated, thank you!
This Man,his explanations and his knowledge of everything he talks about is to be Commended! I'm by no means a rookie with electrical, AC or DC but after two weeks of trying to explaining to my wife after we had a fire in our RV how electrical works and why we couldn't "JUST HOOK IT UP AND PLUG IT IN!" This Man made my life once again liveable! Thank You and keep up the good work.GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND STAY SAFE! THANKFULLY YOURS Roy& Suzzan Green Aransas Pass Texas
THANK YOU! my brother is a mechanic and tried to explain vehicle electricity to me and it was like trying to understand a foreign language. You saved me a lot of trouble.
This guy is a good teacher. I will still need to watch this a few more times and save it for reference when what I gather fades away but I appreciate the very clear explanations. I was tired of not knowing anything about this!
I know this video is 5 years old, (as of this comment) but the info is timeless. In just a few minutes it helped me grasp things like inverter/converter. Thanks so much. Subscribed!
Tim, can't tell you how much I appreciate this. We're going into a full-time living RV situation. I'm adequate with construction and most things that would fit under DIY projects, my one glaring weakness being electrical. Have gained alot just from this intro on the subject.
I watch lots of videos about how the electricityworks inRV but honesty this guy is the best one He explain very simple & right on point Thank u so much
just wanted to say thank you, you saved a camping trip for my family. My AC to DC converter went on my camper and I had a basic understanding of electricity and was able to problem solve this after watching your video. Thank you!
This is the most straight forward, concise and informative video on RV electricity I have encountered. I am grateful for all I learned and I thank you and congratulate you for producing this video. IT IS A MUST WATCH FOR ANYONE WITH AN RV.
Oh my goodness. This was so good. I thought I understood the electrical system and was going to skim through this video. I'm glad I set my ego aside and watched the entire video. Probably the best video on RV electricity I've watched. Kudos to you. Liked and subscribed.
By far, the best video explaining electric in RVs that I’ve ever seen super thorough explains everything like you’re in kindergarten, which is awesome. I will be subscribing to your channel. It is perfect.
I learnt more about electricity from your video than I have from searching the internet over many hours. Well done and I look forward to watching more video from you.
What a great summary!! Although familiar with both AC and DC power (conceptually) I did quite a bit of research when buying my travel trailer to better understand the electrical system. I wish I had found this first!! This summary covers most of the basics and could have kept me from having to watch multiple videos and reading multiple articles. They were still very helpful but this summary covers most of the basics all in one view. Well done!!
Wow. As a newcomer to electrical engineering and circuitry, this explanation was extremely valuable! I bought a 2001 winnebago 31ft and I have trying to figure out why my generator wasn't working. Without being too invasive, I wanted to put my electromagnetic knowledge to the test but without any prior hands on experience, I was as useless as someone without any knowledge of electricity. You really helped me see and see the relevance of my studies in a real world situation and also help me further my non-invasive investigation of the generator so thank you two times!
Wow. Best explanation ever. My wonderful electrician was over yesterday and explained about the extension cord length and not running too many amps while plugged into house power. But this demonstration tied all the pieces together and made it all make perfect sense. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the a/c d/c tutorial. I am an auto technician and am familiar with both types. This was as clear and concise as I've ever heard. Have saved it for reference to watch before I get started, so I don't get hurt because of forgetfulness.
Useful and straight to the point, in a friendly academic type of way, I miss these type of instruction videos ... , this is like something from the 80s no politics, no agendas, no crazy ads bizarre type of skits ... everything today is a clown show
Excellent vid. New operator to a RV and was wondering exactly what was using what kind of power and now i know. I am electrically inclined but this really helped. Thank you
You didn't tell me anything I didn't know, but I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed because...you said it so well! I'll be checking out what else you've put out.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video we have just bought an RV and had no idea that not just anyone can work on the wiring. So thank you-you saved me and my kid's life.
@Carolyn’s RV Life !I just started following you ! Lol and I agree he really makes it as simple as can be and understandable! Ty Steven of Rv set up ! Sadly I’ve watched so many videos and none have really broke it down to understand like this video and understanding basics makes learning other stuff so much faster cause you now can understand the main ways rvs are set up !
This is an excellent tutorial. This took a long time to perfect and I really appreciate having it to use for the RV forums I am on daily. I will be posting this video link often. There are so many rvers that just have no clue in the beginning
Excellent information. I am planning on moving into a trailer to be closer to job opportunities. The trailer I'm moving into has two 24V battery, being told that the system is only 12V. I was puzzled and a bit concerned so looking up electrical systems about trailers/rvs to be more informed. I've had some experience with electricity working on houses on and off throughout the years but when it came to the trailer, I felt like I couldn't really apply all of my previous knowledge to figure it out. The other part is that I didn't know about the power cord adapters going down in amps, that was super important. I'm going to be careful not to overload the system with too many things running. Thanks :) P.S. no worries on being long winded, its good to refresh and learn something new, still enjoyed and listened every second of it. That story of the neighbor hooking up that woman's trailer with 220v plug was a shock to hear but good to know. P.S.S. Never know if one day we might be able to see something to maybe help someone and save lives with this kind of information. This kind of information and knowledge awareness could potentially have one person save an entire family living in rv/trailer. Amazing
Always learning something new! Electricity and propane scare me on my RV. I'm still learning all the volts and what pulls what amount of power. Thanks for sharing the Ac/DC breakdown!
Thank you so much for making something that seems so complicated much more understandable!! First time RVer here. Good to know the 12v and DC system better!!
Never underestimate the power of the mustache. It has started wars’ brokered peace, and stolen hearts. This dude did the best at explaining this topic. I’m going to stop shaving my upper lip effective immediately.
I found this very helpful and will watching again I am sure. While I don't plan to work on the electrical I do want a good understanding of the principles so I can't be taken advantage of by unethical people. I think most people are basically honest but sometimes people have set notions and want to convince you to do something that is not necessary. I want to know enough to know what I need and what I don't. This video will help me in that area.
I had just bought an RV to restore.and parts of the electrical system had been damaged by the person attempting to restore it before me. Being very familiar with residential wiring but not RV wiring I found this video very helpful. Some might complain about him being too simplistic. But simple is easier to understand.
Excellent lecture and demonstration. Thank you very much for posting this. You have an EXCELLENT way of explaining technical topics. Well done! Much appreciated! Thank you!
My friend, I consider myself pretty well versed in the items you talked about but still learned several things and confirmed things I already knew. Your explanations, examples and pop ups were spot on. A friend of mi e just got an RV or rather , coach, as you call them and I started explaining things to him. He’s the first person Im sending this to. Great job, you have a new subscriber and Im betting many more. Best regards.
This is such an interesting and informative video! I learned a lot, even though a complete novice with electricity. I never could understand amps till you said it was like speed. Wow! Instantly got it! So grateful. I also thought I could run AC or fan system plugged into my house power. Was I wrong. I wish you would make another video explaining more. I need to do my own DIY Van build and would like to know how to lay down the electrical system. You are an excellent teacher and have a voice you can listen to for a long time. Also thanks for no background music. I have a 1997 Class C Tioga Montara that came with factory systems. There is a fuse box under hood for engine stuff. There is a fuse box under oven next to the converter. And there is a fuse box crammed into a TINY space next to two house batteries in a drop down box under the door entry way step. This is SO HARD to access it is ridiculous. I had to remove it once and redo whole thing due to a long story about buying wrong batteries, re-welding battery box to enlarge it, etc! Anyway, this fuse box needs to be relocated to a larger more accessible area close by. How to do it? No RV place seems to know or care. I need to modernize this whole area of fuses, and install a battery disconnect switch. Would love some guidance on who does this kind of work? I'm in California.
This was a very well-done video. You're very good at simplifying things. If you were anyone happens to catch this message soon, I could really use some help. I have an elderly lady who lives in a trailer park. She lives in a small camper unit. She recently had her AC, refrigerator, and all lighting go out. Her receptacles still work and her microwave works. I had a guy tell me that if the microwave is still working, The converter is not bad, but I wasn't registering anything where the converter ties in to the fuse panel. I'm speculating that I may have just been told wrong and that the microwave is just on a basic plug circuit. All the breakers are on and functioning and the receptacle that the refrigerator is plugged into is working, but at the refrigerators converter, I read no voltage at the 12 V terminal, so something had to fry it...
Fusionmatt20 yes. We're good. The converter went out and it drained her battery. I got the battery charged and am waiting on a new converter. Thanks, brother.
I have searched everywhere and nothing better than this UA-cam video for explaining in plain language about RV wiring.
In all my 77years I have never had this explained so simply. You are gifted!
Thank you Sir! This is probably the best dumbed-down and well explained tutorial I've ever watched.
I am a female that just plugged something in and if a fuse went screamed fix it. Spoiled most of my life and remained ignorant on how electrical power works. I am now 56 years old and homeless living in a travel trailer in Canada. I like how you teach I can understand and follow along. Thank you for your time and knowledge and your willingness to share.
My good Sir, you're the first person to finally explain all things electrical in my RV. You are the ⚡Power Guru! ⚡
I just started working around RVs. When customers ask about the different plugs, I tell them I don't know and I ask the manager. After watching your video, I now know the manager doesn't know either.

OMG!!!! THIS WAS SOO GOOD. JUST GOT MY RV. IM 64 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND TOTALLY BRAIN IMTIMADATION BLOCKAGE ABOUT THIS KIND OF THINGS. I WISH HE HAD ACTUAL CLASSES THAT COVERS EVERYTHING
im 62 guy, first rv, very confused but this guy answered some questions.
Can this guy do every instructional video on youtube please.
I'm just now seeing this 4 years later.
Why is this guy not in every commercial representing every major company.
He's like the Sam Elliot of tutorial, diy and walkthrough videos.
Why are we not paying this man for simply being alive.
My god some tutorials that are so long or blisteringly pointless that lead to dead ends or learning absolutely.
This guy is gold. He's everybodys favorite mentor
Somebody please make a movie about this guy.
Or clone him for christs sake.
Amazing video I'm an expert now seriously.
He makes it so simple and easy.
Thank you so much.
I dunno why, but the series/parallel battery configuration animation made more sense than two semesters of calc based physics and lab at university. Thanks! This video is great. I just had to look up “dry camping” is all 😅

I am SO glad you instructed this video. So many folks think 220 volt is the same as 110 when they see the strange plugs.
Tim... Simply EXCELLENT! To the point, relevant and not a time-waster! Thanks for honoring your viewers by giving us the "skinny" without needless info!
What an excellent tutorial on RV power systems. Clear, concise, humorous, with diagrams. Made it so clear.
I learned what blew my DC system too - the old circuit breaker that most likely has to be replaced. This saved me a major expense and many hours of head scratching. Very much appreciated, thank you!

Great explanation - from someone who has a healthy fear of electricity! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Wow, thanks so much for this simple video. As a single female who knows nothing about electrics but needs to, it's really helpful!
Thanks for the a/c d/c tutorial. I am an auto technician and am familiar with both types. This was as clear and concise as I've ever heard. Have saved it for reference to watch before I get started, so I don't get hurt because of forgetfulness.
Very informative. Thank you! Your explanation was thorough and slow enough to understand.
I wished Tim was my teachers throughout my education journey!
This guy is really smart, he knows what he's doing. I like the way he explained stuff, as well.
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You made this topic very simple and easy to understand!
Great tutorial.Yes, I'm a residential, commercial, industrial electrician.Very informative.
this is the first video thats actually helped me thank you soo much i was bumed when it ended
The best and easy to understand video on AC & DC I've seen in UA-cam.
Amazing video. So detailed that I literally have no questions.
The beginning drags on? To me, my life is worth a bit of extra time. Thanks for a great presentation ! ! !
I didn't want the video to end it was so good! Some quality education.
Useful and straight to the point, in a friendly academic type of way, I miss these type of instruction videos ... , this is like something from the 80s no politics, no agendas, no crazy ads bizarre type of skits ... everything today is a clown show
Excellent vid. New operator to a RV and was wondering exactly what was using what kind of power and now i know. I am electrically inclined but this really helped. Thank you
Thank you for the concise explanation of the RV electrical system.
This is so old school. Quality , like things used to be
One of the best instructors very high education info please post more videos
I have nothing but the utmost respect for electricity.
You didn't tell me anything I didn't know, but I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed because...you said it so well! I'll be checking out what else you've put out.
You, Sir, are my hero. Perfect Layman's terminology.
Best video I have seen very informative thank you very much I just got a RV for the first time and this give confidence how Everything works.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video we have just bought an RV and had no idea that not just anyone can work on the wiring. So thank you-you saved me and my kid's life.
This is the best explanation of my Class C electrical system I've ever seen or heard. Very well done. Thank you!

Literally the the best video regarding RVs. 💯
This is an excellent tutorial. This took a long time to perfect and I really appreciate having it to use for the RV forums I am on daily. I will be posting this video link often. There are so many rvers that just have no clue in the beginning
Thank you so much for solid information, with no intro or stupid background music.
Some very useful information! I learned much of this in school but a good refresher is always good, thanks!

I have watched many videos,your the first one that makes sense step by step thanks
Wow this is the first video i've seen that breaks it all the way down NICE!
Best presentation and easiest to understand, your a professional and a voice that's perfect, thanks
I used to have a master electrical license and still found your video very interesting
Well done. One of the best. Simple, straightforward, easycti fully understand.
great explanation....your delivery of the message was very good. thank you
Always learning something new! Electricity and propane scare me on my RV. I'm still learning all the volts and what pulls what amount of power. Thanks for sharing the Ac/DC breakdown!
An excellent example of a well-done tutorial. Clear as a mountain lake and almost as entertaining. ;)
Thank you, so much I found my GFCI problem and fixed it from this video.
You’re the “Joe Friday” of the RV electrical world. Thank you
Outstanding video! You solved some long standing mysteries for me very plainly in a matter of minutes. Great work, thank you.
WOW! Great video. Well done, Tim. (not sure why ANYONE would give this a thumbs down...regardless of your experience level) ...kudos!
Really enjoy your video’s. Lots to learn when it comes to RV systems. Cheers Rob
Thank you so much for making something that seems so complicated much more understandable!! First time RVer here. Good to know the 12v and DC system better!!
U R A Beast!!! Nobody could explain this any better!!! Excellent video 👍👍
What an utterly fantastic video! Thank you very much!
Just by the mustache, you can tell this guy means business.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Yup, that's the first thing I said in my best Ned Flanders' voice, 'check out the ole broomelee broom.'
Never underestimate the power of the mustache. It has started wars’ brokered peace, and stolen hearts. This dude did the best at explaining this topic. I’m going to stop shaving my upper lip effective immediately.
😂😂👋🤓💞
I found this very helpful and will watching again I am sure. While I don't plan to work on the electrical I do want a good understanding of the principles so I can't be taken advantage of by unethical people. I think most people are basically honest but sometimes people have set notions and want to convince you to do something that is not necessary. I want to know enough to know what I need and what I don't. This video will help me in that area.
👌
I had just bought an RV to restore.and parts of the electrical system had been damaged by the person attempting to restore it before me. Being very familiar with residential wiring but not RV wiring I found this video very helpful. Some might complain about him being too simplistic. But simple is easier to understand.
One of the most informative RV videos I've ever viewed. Thank you for sharing this information!
Thank you! That was a great video introduction to electricity and RVs. It's definitely one I'll watch again.
Excellent lecture and demonstration. Thank you very much for posting this. You have an EXCELLENT way of explaining technical topics. Well done! Much appreciated! Thank you!
This video was very knowledgeable. Both me and my son learned a lot about RV power today 👍
Best explanation ever. On anything. Strong work!
Amazing explanation GREAT JOB sir! How can anyone not like this video.
My friend, I consider myself pretty well versed in the items you talked about but still learned several things and confirmed things I already knew. Your explanations, examples and pop ups were spot on. A friend of mi e just got an RV or
rather , coach, as you call them and I started explaining things to him. He’s the first person Im sending this to. Great job, you have a new subscriber and Im betting many more. Best regards.
Thank you it is very useful every RV guys should watch and learn...
As an electrition this is really great, I will show it to Campers that have questions about power
An excellent video, now I can say I know the electrical system of my RV
This is such an interesting and informative video! I learned a lot, even though a complete novice with electricity. I never could understand amps till you said it was like speed. Wow! Instantly got it! So grateful. I also thought I could run AC or fan system plugged into my house power. Was I wrong. I wish you would make another video explaining more. I need to do my own DIY Van build and would like to know how to lay down the electrical system. You are an excellent teacher and have a voice you can listen to for a long time. Also thanks for no background music.
I have a 1997 Class C Tioga Montara that came with factory systems. There is a fuse box under hood for engine stuff. There is a fuse box under oven next to the converter. And there is a fuse box crammed into a TINY space next to two house batteries in a drop down box under the door entry way step. This is SO HARD to access it is ridiculous. I had to remove it once and redo whole thing due to a long story about buying wrong batteries, re-welding battery box to enlarge it, etc! Anyway, this fuse box needs to be relocated to a larger more accessible area close by. How to do it? No RV place seems to know or care. I need to modernize this whole area of fuses, and install a battery disconnect switch. Would love some guidance on who does this kind of work? I'm in California.
Was just getting into this at 14 minutes, then it ended. Was curious about transfer switches, how solar fits in, everything. Great start though
Wow first time i understand the difference in amps and volts. great job!!!!
Oh, thank you for this. Everything else I've seen leaves me feeling more confused than ever. This is something I can understand.
Ikes deneen electrical issue
This was a very well-done video. You're very good at simplifying things. If you were anyone happens to catch this message soon, I could really use some help.

have you checked the fuses?
Fusionmatt20 yes. We're good. The converter went out and it drained her battery. I got the battery charged and am waiting on a new converter. Thanks, brother.
Very helpful video. Clear and understandable. Great job explaining and giving safety warnings.
Great video! This is one of the more informative and professional videos I've seen. Thanks for the great info.
The very best video for me who knew nothing about electrical....Many thanks
