Feedback: “Thanks for your very informative webinar on electrical systems, battery options and how to calculate power requirements/usage. In todays world, Google is our friend and foe for things we don’t know or should know, however having someone like Kevin share his experience and knowledge will assist us greatly in making the right decisions as we embark on our camper build. Look forward to the next workshop!” – John, November 2020
