Electrical System
Many caravanners will probably take their electrics in their caravan for granted until something goes wrong. The electrical system supplies a standard household 230 Volts AC to sockets, some lights and other appliances like the fridge within the caravan. The biggest percentage of the caravan will be powered by a 12 Volts DC supply from your Leisure Battery. This is the side which usually requires some maintenance from the caravanner.
