While driving your RV the engine trickle charges the on-board 12V direct current (DC) deep cycle ‘house’ batteries.
With the engine off, the ‘house’ batteries require campsite plug-in alternating current (AC) electrical power, or generator plug-in (AC) electric power, to maintain a full charge.
The ‘house’ batteries are integral to the operation of onboard RV systems; providing 12V DC power for interior lights, fresh water pump, furnace blower fan motor, auto ignition for propane powered hot water tank & fridge.
If you carefully manage your battery levels, you may be okay for 2 to 3 evenings without campsite power, but beyond that you should consider renting a generator for your RV rental or moving to a full service site.
The biggest offender of drawing power is the use of the on-board furnace heater system without campsite power. Continued use of the furnace will discharge the ‘house’ batteries quickly, within 1 – 2 hours.
But don’t despair, RV Rent Vancouver Island rents light weight, ultra quiet, suitcase generators ranging from 10amps to 24amps.
Generators provide electrical plug-in (AC) power to charge the ‘house’ batteries. Provide power for your electronic cell phone chargers, and depending on which size generator you rent; may operate one small kitchen appliance, or hair dryer at a time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Air Conditioning ‘house’ ceiling mounted unit, and microwave, will only work off the 24amp generator BUT if running the house AC, you will not likely get sufficient power to run the microwave or any large appliance.
Don’t wish to rent a generator or we are sold out? Most RVs have dash air conditioning, so with the engine running, you can generate cool air to the RV. Not the most efficient way, but it works.
Generators can be selected at checkout.

These campfires are ideal for when an open fire ban exists on the west coast (this can be quite frequent during long dry spells). While not giving off the same heat as an open fire these campfires create a centre point for the campsite and a nice ambience. Comes with a 5lb propane bottle for ease of storage.
Note: Propane bottles are full when rented and are required to be refilled before returning to RVRVI.
