Title: RV Electricity Instructor
Post by: jmsokol on January 22, 2020, 12:23:40 PM
Hey everybody. I'm Mike Sokol from RVelectricity and the No~Shock~Zone. I don't currently own a Livin' Lite Toyhauler, but I'll be looking for one soon to act as a test bed for a bunch of my RV Electricity seminar demonstrations. I think the all-aluminum construction and toyhauler layout will be perfect for my outdoor demonstrations. I'll post details later, but for now my wish list is a 6x15 or 7x20HJ toyhauler with a fried electrical system. That's because I need to put in my own inverter, lithium batteries, generator, fuel cell, air conditioner, swing compressor RV refrigerator, and 30/50-amp transfer switch. In short, I'll have to yank out the existing electrical components and install new ones I can test and demonstrate. In the meantime, let me know if you have any complex electrical problems as that's what I teach about in my articles, blogs, seminars and videos.

Hi Mike!
Are you going to post your results and/or articles here? Or maybe you have a blog (so I could follow your updates)? I'm really interested in electronic upgrades, since, well, there's always room for improvement.
Thanks in advance.

As I am a beginner so I didn't face any critical problems. Though I have a question about lithium batteries for RVs.
I can find 12 vt lithium batteries with about 100ah. but the cost is about 500 to 800 Bucs. I need at least 450 amps for my toy hauler to keep my fridge running all night without this (https://generatorpick.com/best-rv-generator/) generator.
I now have 4 Trojan 105's that come out to 450AH. The total cost of these batteries is 400. The Lithiums are much light sure and supposedly last a lot longer. My Trojans have always lasted me over 5 years. So why I should get a much more expensive lower AH battery.
