About Truck & RV Electronics

Our Story

Truck & RV Electronics started as a passion project among engineers and lifelong travellers who love the open road. We’ve spent years living and working from our vehicles, converting vans into off‑grid homes and helping friends upgrade their rigs. Along the way we discovered how confusing and unreliable information about truck and RV electronics can be. Reviews were thin, installation guides glossed over critical details and manufacturers rarely agreed on what “best” actually meant.

We believe visitors come to this page to learn who is behind Truck & RV Electronics and why we exist. We founded this site to demystify vehicle electrics. Our team is a mix of electrical engineers, digital nomads and DIY enthusiasts based in Rome, Italy, but our community spans the globe. When we’re not writing, you’ll find us camping in the Italian Alps, installing solar panels in the American Southwest or testing inverters on cross‑country road trips.

Mission

Our mission is to empower truck and RV owners to travel safely, comfortably and sustainably by providing reliable information on modern electronics. We answer four core questions every day:

• What do we do? We research, test and review electrical products—from batteries and solar panels to inverters and appliances—and translate complex specifications into plain‑language guides.
• Who do we serve? Full‑time nomads, weekend campers and professional drivers who want to upgrade or maintain their vehicles’ electrical systems.
• What are we trying to accomplish? Help readers make informed purchases, avoid costly mistakes and feel confident installing or troubleshooting their own equipment.
• What impact do we want to achieve? Safer roads, happier travellers and a lower environmental footprint through efficient, off‑grid power systems.

Our Values

Here are the principles that guide everything we do:

• Reliability: We publish honest reviews and only recommend products after hands‑on testing. If something fails on the road, we tell you.
• Safety: Proper wiring, fusing and installation save lives. We emphasise safety in every tutorial and never cut corners.
• Sustainability: Off‑grid energy systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels and help preserve the beautiful places we travel.
• Independence: Knowledge is freedom. We empower readers to build and maintain their own systems instead of relying solely on commercial installers.
• Community: Our readers aren’t customers; they’re fellow travellers. We learn from your stories and incorporate feedback into our articles.

What We Do

Here are the types of content you’ll find on our site:

• Reviews: In‑depth evaluations of batteries, inverters, solar panels, chargers, lighting, navigation equipment, appliances, entertainment systems and more. Each review includes pros and cons, technical specifications and real‑world performance comparisons.
• Buyer’s Guides: Roundups comparing the best electronics in various categories—such as “Best Lithium Batteries” or “Top Solar Kits for 2026”—with guidance on choosing the right product for your needs and budget.
• How‑To & Installation: Step‑by‑step tutorials for installing and maintaining gear: wiring inverters, mounting solar panels, upgrading alternators, troubleshooting electrical gremlins and optimising energy management systems.
• Power & Energy Systems: Educational articles about off‑grid power setups, battery chemistry, charging strategies and energy efficiency. We explain the theory behind the systems so you can design your own.
• RV & Travel Tips: Practical advice for road trips, boondocking, safety checklists, campground etiquette and living on the road. We connect our story to the problems we solve.
• News & Industry Updates: Coverage of new product releases, technology innovations, recalls, regulatory changes and trends in mobile living.

We organise our content into clear categories to make navigation intuitive.

Our Vision

We look beyond the past and share a vision for the future. We believe the next decade will bring smarter, safer and more sustainable mobile power systems. Vehicles will integrate renewables, advanced battery chemistries and connected diagnostics.

At Truck & RV Electronics we’re committed to leading this transition by staying on top of emerging technologies, testing innovative products and advocating for safe installation standards. We also envision building a global community of travellers who share knowledge, experiences and a respect for nature.

Meet the Team

You’ll find bios and photos of our founders, engineers and contributors on the team page. Each of us has a unique story—like Luca, our electrical engineer who once powered an entire music festival from a modified van, or Sara, our content editor who has lived off‑grid in five different countries. Their quotes and personal experiences shape our voice and credibility.
