RV power services
Build the power system your camping style actually needs.
Start small, upgrade an existing system, or build a complete off-grid electrical package from the battery bank forward.
Lithium Battery Upgrades
LiFePO₄ conversions, larger battery banks, cable upgrades, battery protection, and charging-system compatibility.
Inverters & Inverter/Chargers
Pure-sine inverter systems designed around the loads you want to operate—from outlets and microwaves to air conditioning.
Complete Off-Grid Systems
Integrated solar, batteries, charging, inverter power, monitoring, and distribution for extended camping without hookups.
System Upgrades & Troubleshooting
Evaluate existing installations, improve weak links, expand capacity, and correct charging or performance problems.
Power-System Consultation
Tell us what you want to run and for how long. We can size the system around realistic loads, runtime, and recharge needs.
Designed from the load backward
Solar panels are only one part of an off-grid RV.
A reliable system has to balance battery capacity, inverter demand, solar recovery, charging sources, cable sizing, protection, and the equipment you actually want to use.
Rather than starting with a prepackaged kit, Utah RV Power starts with your goals: how long you camp, whether you use hookups, what appliances matter, whether you want to run A/C, and how quickly the system needs to recharge.
That gives us a practical design target instead of simply adding more panels and hoping the rest of the system keeps up.
Energy Storage
Battery-bank capacity is sized around usable watt-hours, expected loads, discharge limits, and the amount of reserve you want.
AC Power
Inverter capacity, surge demand, BMS capability, DC cabling, and protection all have to work together when operating high-draw appliances.
Recharge Strategy
Solar, shore power, generator charging, and available alternator/DC-DC charging can be combined around how and where you travel.
How it works
Start with the goal. Then build the system around it.
You do not need to know which controller, battery, inverter, or cable size you need before contacting us.
- 1
Tell Us About Your RV
Share the year, make, model, current electrical equipment, where you camp, and what you want to power.
- 2
Define the Loads
We look at the appliances that matter to you, expected runtime, peak demand, and how much reserve makes sense.
- 3
Design the System
Solar, batteries, inverter power, charging, conductors, protection, monitoring, and expansion are planned together.
- 4
Install, Test & Explain
The finished system is commissioned and tested, and you receive a practical explanation of how to use and monitor it.
Off-grid trailer system
Featured system
800W solar • 600Ah lithium • 2,500W inverter
This trailer system was designed and built to support normal RV electrical use from battery power, including microwave and air-conditioning operation within the system's limits.
The purpose of a project like this is not simply to install the biggest components that will fit. Battery discharge capability, inverter demand, wire size, fusing, solar recovery, charging speed, and real-world runtime all need to work together.
Build a system around your RV →Hands-on experience
Built by someone who actually uses off-grid RV power.
RV solar sits at the intersection of several things owner Glenn Pearson has spent more than two decades doing: RV and trailer systems, 12V electrical, fabrication, mechanical work, construction, troubleshooting, and technology.
Glenn and his wife spent six years managing and renting travel trailers while he handled their maintenance, repairs, modifications, electrical work, solar upgrades, fabrication, and major projects. He later worked professionally in the RV industry and has also worked building, wiring, repairing, and modifying utility trailers.
His solar experience ranges from simple battery-maintenance systems to complete off-grid RV builds, along with hands-on residential solar installation experience. That broad technical background helps Utah RV Power design the whole system, troubleshoot problems methodically, and explain the choices in practical terms.
More about Utah RV Power →The Utah RV Power approach
- Design around real loads and realistic runtime
- Match batteries, inverter, charging, wiring, and protection
- Use clear system documentation and labeling
- Explain what the system can—and cannot—reasonably power
- Build systems that can be serviced and expanded later
- Focus on safe, practical installation rather than gadget count

Frequently asked questions
Start with what you want the RV to do.
System size can vary dramatically depending on the RV, appliances, camping style, available roof space, and how quickly you need to recharge.
View all FAQs →Can an RV solar and battery system run the air conditioner?
Yes, when the battery bank, BMS, inverter, cabling, protection, and charging system are all designed for the load. Runtime depends on the specific A/C, weather, battery capacity, and other loads.
How much solar do I need?
Solar is sized around how much energy you use and how quickly you need to replace it. Available roof area, shading, battery capacity, season, and travel style all affect the answer.
Can you upgrade an existing factory solar system?
Often, yes. Existing panels, wiring, controller limits, battery type, and charging equipment should be evaluated before deciding what can be reused.
Do I need to know exactly what equipment I want?
No. In many cases it is better to start with the appliances you want to run, how long you camp off-grid, and your current setup before selecting hardware.
