Mobile RV Electrical and Solar Repair Across Florida

Electrical is the one system that scares most RV owners more than it should - and the one most folks try to fix themselves before calling us. I get it. Twelve volts of DC seems harmless until you find out it's running through 4-gauge wire that can light a fire if you cross it wrong. We see a lot of "I tried to add an outlet and now nothing works" calls.

The flip side is that most RV electrical problems are simpler than they look. About 60% of the "my outlets aren't working" calls turn out to be a tripped GFCI in a place the owner forgot existed (the bathroom, behind the couch, in the bay). Another 25% are converter problems. The rest are real wiring issues that need a meter and a wiring diagram.

Why Electrical & Solar Fails Faster in Florida

RV electrical systems combine three different worlds: 110V AC from shore or generator, 12V DC from your battery bank, and (if you've got an inverter) 110V AC inverted from 12V DC. They share grounds and they share neutrals and the points where they meet are where most failures happen.

The most common failure point is the converter - that's the box that takes shore power and charges your batteries while running your 12V loads. Converters fail two ways: they stop charging (battery slowly dies even on shore power) or they overcharge (batteries cook). Either way, replace it. The second most common failure point is shore-power cord ends that have been pulled, twisted, and left in a wet bay long enough to corrode.

What We Fix - Electrical & Solar

What Our Electrical & Solar Service Includes

Electrical service calls start with a meter sweep. We check incoming shore voltage at the inlet, voltage at the panel, voltage on each breaker, converter output to the batteries, and battery voltage under load. That's our standard "is it producing" sweep and it tells us where the failure lives.

From there we dig into wiring, replace components, or scope the converter/inverter pair. Solar installs are scheduled separately - those run a half-day to two days depending on system size and whether we're trenching the bay for new cable runs.

Common Electrical & Solar Repairs and Pricing

Here's what most calls actually run. We give you a phone-quote range before scheduling, and an exact written quote at your site before any work starts.

Florida-Specific Electrical & Solar Considerations

Florida lightning is the #1 reason we replace surge protectors and converters. If you're staying in central Florida between June and September and you don't have a hardwired EMS (Progressive Industries HW50C or equivalent), get one. We install them in about an hour, and they pay for themselves the first time a campground pedestal kicks 200V at you in a thunderstorm.

Salt air is reason #2. Coastal storage corrodes shore-power cord ends, generator transfer switch contacts, and any exposed bolted lugs. If you're storing on the coast, plan on cleaning and dielectric-greasing those points annually.

Emergency Electrical & Solar Service Across Florida

If you're smelling burning plastic, seeing smoke, or hearing arcing - shut the breaker off, disconnect from shore power, and call (833) 465-8787. Don't try to find the source yourself unless you can do it from outside the rig. Electrical fires move fast and the wood paneling in most rigs goes up like kindling.

Less-urgent emergencies: total loss of 12V at a campsite, no shore power coming through, or an inverter that's tripping breakers. Call us and we'll work through it on the phone first. Sometimes it's a flipped breaker we can talk you through. If not, we'll roll a truck.
