DC Marine Repair

Custom boat, RV, & trailer electrical installations & repair in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Ventura, & Channel Islands Harbor Area

RV & Trailer Electrical: Off-Grid Trailer Power Engineering

True independence on the road requires a balanced power ecosystem that you can trust in the middle of nowhere. As an RV Solar Power Specialist serving Montecito, Santa Barbara, and Ventura, I provide expert mobile services for travel trailers, overland rigs, and Camper Van Electrical Troubleshooting.

20 Years of AC/DC Experience

My passion for troubleshooting started nearly 20 years ago in the City College Automotive Program. Since then, I’ve mastered the intersection of vehicle mechanics and complex electrical systems. As a Journeyman Electrician and ASE Master Mechanic, I approach your rig with a focus on foundational safety. I don’t just install parts; I solve the “invisible” problems—like thermal bottlenecks and undersized charging lines—that factory builds often leave behind.

Marine-Grade Reliability & ABYC Standards

To ensure your rig stays operational in the harshest conditions, I utilize marine-grade components and ABYC safety standards. Marine hardware is built to resist corrosion and handle the constant vibration of the road far better than standard RV-grade parts. By applying these maritime protocols to your Off-Grid Trailer Power Engineering, I provide a level of safety and durability that goes well beyond the industry minimum.

Preventative Care & Circuit Health

I prioritize the safety of your rig and the longevity of your equipment. While I cannot foresee every internal component failure, I specialize in testing the overall health of your circuits to ensure they are safe and efficient:

  • Circuit Health Grading: I perform comprehensive health checks on your onboard circuits and campsite power. This ensure they are safe and capable of handling your specific loads.
  • Advanced Diagnostic Suite: To find what others miss, I utilize specialized gear including oscilloscopes, thermal imagery, and toners to trace faults hidden deep behind your interior panels.
  • Predictive Diagnostics: By performing live load tests, I calculate exact voltage drops to pinpoint weak links or high-resistance points before they leave you in the dark.

Trailer Battery Bank Balancing

I prioritize stacking connections to ABYC standards and balancing the Trailer Battery Bank. This ensures even power distribution across your entire bank—essential for Traditional wet cell/Lithium/LiFePO4 setups—making your batteries last longer and your entire system run at peak efficiency.

New Builds & Victron Integration

I am a specialist in new off-grid builds, designing and installing high-performance systems from the ground up. As a specialized Victron Energy installer, I leverage the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal to offer my clients real-time system visibility and remote troubleshooting support. If you have an issue at camp, I can often diagnose it remotely, saving your trip.

Mobile Service: Fully Stocked for the Road

I arrive at your location with a van stocked as a rolling warehouse. Once I find the “invisible” problem, I fix it. I carry a deep inventory of specialized wire, high-amp breakers, and Victron hardware. Therefore, usually i’ll have the parts to finish the job on the spot. My goal is a quick turnover—getting your rig back on the road in a single visit. Whether you need Camper Van Electrical Troubleshooting or an RV Solar Power Specialist in Montecito, Santa Barbara, or Ventura, I bring the shop to you.
