What else do our readers need know about RV power solutions?

Eric Meadows, Lithionics, president: The shift to lithium power isn’t a trend — it’s a permanent evolution. RV buyers increasingly expect off-grid capability, fast charging, quiet operation and long-term reliability. Choosing the right power partner is more important than ever. At Lithionics, we design and assemble our systems in Clearwater, Florida, using best-in-class engineering, advanced safety features and a commitment to long-term product support. Whether you’re building Class B vans or luxury coaches, your power system should be a strength — not a compromise.

EcoFlow Technology Inc.: As RV enthusiasts seek greater freedom and flexibility, off-grid power solutions are becoming more desirable. Traditional gas-powered generators are being replaced by solar systems, batteries and hybrid solutions that allow RVers to remain self-sufficient in remote areas. The shift toward alternative power solutions in the RV industry is more than just a trend — it’s a response to changing environmental regulations, consumer demands for sustainability and meeting the demands of a mobile lifestyle. Battery-powered solutions, like those offered by EcoFlow, provide a wide range of advantages for RVers. They operate quietly and cleanly, without the noise, fumes or fuel consumption associated with traditional gas generators. They integrate seamlessly with solar panels, enabling longer off-grid stays. They can be recharged quickly and flexibly through multiple sources, including solar input or a vehicle’s alternator. They are modular and scalable, making it easy to customize a power system that suits any lifestyle.

Tony Yerman, RV Dealers Association, fixed operations consultant: RV electrical innovations are happening in most aspects of the RV: drivetrains, appliances, energy storage and power production. It can take considerable research to understand what’s new and how it will work with what is already in place.

Andrew Stiebler, RVMP, GM of aftermarket sales & marketing: RV power today is all about freedom, flexibility and control. At RVMP, we’re building solutions that meet that moment — quieter inverter generators, EFI models that boost efficiency and solar-ready systems designed for life off-grid. It’s not one-size-fits-all anymore. The right setup depends on how you travel.

Ellen Lee, BLUETTI POWER Inc., PR specialist: At BLUETTI, we believe it’s wise for RVers, and honestly anyone looking at power solutions, to think beyond just the initial cost. It’s more about making a thoughtful, longer-term decision. We’d gently encourage people to ask themselves: How durable is this? We strive to build our products to last, and we hope users consider the lifespan of their investment. What are the less obvious expenses? Things like ongoing maintenance for generators can really add up over time. How will this impact their overall experience? The peace and quiet of battery power is something many people really value. Can their power setup adapt if their needs change? Having some flexibility can be really beneficial down the road. And, if it’s something they care about, what’s the environmental side of things? Ultimately, we hope people see choosing a power solution as a bit of a journey, focusing on what will provide reliable value and a positive experience for years to come.

Matthew Bondie, Revatek, director of sales: It’s exciting! It can be intimidating to dive into something that you’re unfamiliar with, but I encourage you to start doing the research. You’ll find the excitement and that there are many different opportunities to learn about the power solutions that would benefit you or your customers’ RVing lifestyle.

Rohini Raghunathan, Xponent Power, CEO and founder: Especially with solar solutions, products are becoming more sophisticated and intelligent that empower OEMs, dealers and end users with the ability to have more control over their energy generation and use. More control means less dependence on solutions that restrict travel because of refueling requirements or pollute the environment and are toxic to people’s health. Solar has now become an undeniable viable option that gives people the freedom to explore, adventure, and figuratively and literally recharge as never before.
