It was kinda basic stuff. But there was still things to be learned. If you’re new to electricity and RVs, you’ll do well with this book. I’ve been around “juice” most of my life, and I should have read the description closer. Still good info!

Plain enough to understand without technical mumbo jumbo! I highly recommend this book for the beginner and the seasoned RVer.

Just a sample: "... the voltage (pressure) we use in the USA is rated at 120 volts, give or take 5% according to the National Electrical Code. That means it could vary from a low of 114 volts to a high of 126 volts, and still be within code. From a realistic standpoint though, it’s more likely to be as much as 8% low, so a 110-volt measurement is pretty common.""Electrical appliances are genereally designed to run perfectly fine on anything from 105 volts to 130 volts or so. And 99.9% of the time that’s what you’re feeding them from the power line. But you can have under-voltage (brownouts) or over-voltage (broken neutral) conditions at a campground where this sustained voltage can go below 90 volts or above 150 volts. These are not voltage “surges,” so a so-called surge strip will do nothing to stop them from getting into your coach."Who knew? I didn't, and I've found that most of my RVing friends know little or nothing about RV electrical issues either. :(I am very happy that I bought and studied this awesome book.Thank you very much J Michael Sokol!

With over 30 years of rvs, this book is a clearly written bible for every RV owner. Things I knew were clearly explained as well asThe things I was remotely aware remotely aware of.A must for your RV library.i

This book will be in my reference library for years. The knowledge you gain from what feels like a casual read is priceless. You'll find yourself testing every outlet in your house and RV. I found one in my RV with an open ground condition that's at the top of my fix it list.
