Recommended gear

What we actually carry and commission in the field — not a random affiliate dump. Staging shows text recommendations only (no partner logo gallery here).

United Mobile RV specifies gear that survives real corridor use: mountain cold, wet seals, and multi-day off-grid power budgets. Ask us what fits your rig before you buy.

Victron power

Inverter/chargers, MPPT, shunt monitoring, and LiFePO4 architectures — installed as a Victron Professional Certified Installer, not a parts swap.

weBoost

Authorized installer work: antenna placement and signal optimization for cellular. We do not promise magic gain — outdoor RF and clear sightlines still win.

Peplink / multi-WAN

Certified Associate installs for bonding and failover when one carrier is not enough on the road.

Starlink

Mount, cable routing, power, and seal integrity — roof penetrations done right so the dish does not become a leak.

Dometic & appliances

Professional-certified diagnostics before parts roulette on refrigerators, A/C, and related systems.

Electrical hardware

Correct wire gauge, fusing, bus bars, and terminations sized for voltage drop — not whatever was in the last Amazon order.

Buyer's guide

What to look for, by category

Specific picks and links are coming as our affiliate accounts clear vendor review. Until then, here's what actually matters when you're shopping each category yourself.

Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries

Built-in BMS with low-temp charge cutoff, a real amp-hour rating (not a marketing number), and a form factor that fits your existing battery bay without custom fab.

Solar charge controllers

MPPT over PWM for anything beyond a trickle panel. Size it to your array's actual watts, not your battery bank — undersizing throttles harvest on short winter days.

Solar panels

Rigid panels outlast flexible ones on a roof that takes branches and hail; flexible only makes sense on curved or weight-sensitive mounts. Check the real STC wattage, not the "up to."

Inverters & inverter/chargers

Pure sine wave only if you're running anything with a motor or a sensitive charger. Combined inverter/chargers save wiring complexity over separate units.

Roof coatings

Match the coating chemistry to your existing roof membrane (EPDM, TPO, fiberglass) — the wrong pairing peels within a season. Clean and fully cure before a second coat.

LP & CO detectors

Replace on the manufacturer's stated service life, not when it starts chirping — sensors degrade silently before they fail loud. Combo LP/CO units simplify wiring on a retrofit.

Macerator pumps

Look at amp draw against your house battery budget and real gallons-per-minute under load, not the box number. Serviceable blade housings save a full replacement later.

Composting toilets

Bin capacity vs. how many people/days between empties is the real spec that matters — not the brand. Confirm your bathroom's ventilation can support one before buying.

12V fridges

Compressor-based (not absorption) for reliable off-grid cooling and functioning at an angle. Check actual continuous amp draw against your battery bank, not peak startup draw.
