Paul recently attended the Big Beard Battery DIY Solar Clinic—an immersive, hands-on training experience designed to teach RVers how to install their own solar and lithium battery systems. Like many, Paul came in with questions and uncertainty. But by the end of the clinic, he drove away with a fully functioning off-grid system and the confidence to take charge of his RV’s energy future.

In this video, we take you behind the scenes of our hands-on experience at the Big Beard Solar Clinic, where we BOTH installed our brand-new Big Beard Battery solar system in our 2025 Alliance Paradigm 375RD fifth wheel!

Learning to install a Solar system on my RV | My Experience at the Big Beard Battery Solar Clinic

RV solar installs: 12V or 24V battery system? Todd breaks down multiple options using DC-to-DC converters, backup battery systems, and when it makes sense to move from 12V to 24V (or even 48V) with Joe from @2KrazyKampers

In this episode of Todd's Two-Minute Tech Tip Tuesday, we answer a question that many RV owners face: "Why do my breakers keep tripping?" Todd explains how limited circuits in your RV—especially shared GFCI outlets—can easily overload and trip breakers, even if you're just making coffee while someone uses a hair dryer. Learn how a simple power monitor can help you understand your power usage and avoid those pesky trips.

This week, we’re diving into the Victron Autoformer (Autotransformer) and why it’s a game-changer for those running a dual inverter setup in a 50-amp RV. Todd explains how the Autoformer balances power across both legs, preventing overloads and optimizing your system for high-demand appliances like air conditioners and microwaves. If you're building or upgrading your RV power system, this one's for you.
