is the totally rewritten successor of the original globally selling
Motorhome Electrics.
The book's content now
also
covers every aspect of designing, installing and fault finding of the electrics in fifth wheel and conventional caravans and camper trailers.The book explains how things work, and what
they do
(not what vendors
claim
they do). It shows how to dramatically improve charging performance, successfully install solar, and reduce energy draw of electric (especially) three-way fridges.
Essentially it provides
solutions proven to work
, not suggestions that
may
work.
The author shows how the ongoing move fully voltage controlled alternators necessitates
dc-dc alternator charging. And that, post 2016, regulations are likely to limit or even preclude alternator charging with new vehicles. It covers the solutions in depth: i.e. solar, plus fuel cell's 24/7 power generation (light and compact yet silent and non-polluting (and now existing in LPG form), needing only a small battery for peak loads.As with all Collyn's books, the content is thoroughly researched, technically accurate, yet in plain English, plus explanatory illustrations, many of the author's own vehicles.The author's background includes automobile research, electronics and large scale magazine publishing (including founding the world's largest electronics magazine). He was technical editor of Australia's
The Bulletin
magazine in the 1980s - and has supplied Tech Notes to
The Wanderer
for a now 14 years.
