Recreational Vehicles and ES

Daphne Harrington
Does anyone have any information on RVs (motoerhomes) and EMF?

1 year ago I discovered my fiance and had been living with a net
current throughout our house due to an electricians error. I feel 100%
better since it was fixed. We are going to be doing a lot of
traveling and are considering purchasing an RV. Any info or
suggestions you may have are much appreciated.

Absolutely,
Disconnect the inverter or battery charger.

With a gauss meter, check for the field strength around the fuse box or
circuit breaker box. I have yet to find one that is quiet.
Although admittedly, I have not looked for many years now.

Also, watch out for the location of these boxes, as they are often under
the bed.

When plugged into 120V AC, the charger keeps your batteries topped off,
but the transformer is usually very noisy, it hums, and makes a field
just as big. 10 foot radius seemed common in my searches. If it is not
on a circuit breaker that you can turn off, then an electrician can
disconnect it. I hooked my batteries up to a 50' extension cord and put
a battery trickle charger in another shed nearby.

Measure the refrigerator too, I had the most success with a Norcold
ammonia type, on AC or LPG, and found the DC compressor freon type to be
annoying. Couldn't sleep in fact.

Also, the wiring to the furnace had to be modified (in my home for 8
years), it used the chassis as ground and negative return to the
battery. I added a new negative wire, direct to batteries, and added a
filter on the positive side, the same as is used in car stereo custom
speakers. I have one filter I can sell, as I don't need it anymore.

Theoretically, a DC system should be nice (with inverter off--solar panels
can
be great, then you just need to get a simple regulator that only does on and
off.

A diesel might be nice when driving? No spark plugs.
