These book might help explain the workings of the electrics for cv and mh.
The books are by a well respected authority on the subject

You can also buy them through the CMCA or direct from Collyn.
http://www.caravanandmotorhomebooks.com/

There is also a book specifically for camper trailers.
There is a whole section of articles that are freely available on the web site covering many subjects about caravans and motorhomes too.

Cheers,
Peter
ps....Collyn is a friend of mine, so I am not without bias.....

I have the first book and can highly recommend it. It covers technical issues in a manner that a layperson can easily understand.  The author is a technical journalist and former editor of an electronics magazine.

I have no doubt that the second book mentioned would be just as useful for those who use, or plan to use, solar panels.

For a complete listing of his books, go to http://www.caravanandmotorhomebooks.com/books/index.htm

On that site you will also find a great list of technical articles that are of great benefit to us.
