Marine & RV house power
Prepare a house-power brief for a vessel or RV. Begin with time away from shore power, the devices in use and the charging equipment already on board.
What happens between charging stops?
Describe a typical day and overnight stop. Lighting, refrigeration and auxiliary equipment draw power at different times; the installation team needs the actual usage pattern.
- 01Trace the tripRecord how long the boat or RV is away from shore power.
- 02Map charging sourcesList shore charger, alternator and solar interfaces.
- 03Describe the spaceIdentify the compartment and the installer reviewing it.
What to bring to the review
| Decision | Project context | Evidence to share |
|---|---|---|
| Which circuit? | House services, propulsion or vehicle starting | Intended circuit and platform identification |
| When can it recharge? | At a berth, on the road or at a powered pitch | Charging equipment, access and travel schedule |
| Where will it fit? | A new compartment or an existing auxiliary space | Available envelope, mounting and exposure conditions |
Documents and questions
Name the vehicle or vessel and describe the compartment, exposure, normal charging sources and the installer responsible for the conversion.
Can a house battery be specified for engine starting?
Request a separate written assessment for the exact starting duty and model. House-load documentation alone does not establish that capability.
