About CamperVolts

CamperVolts is made by a small crew for people wiring their own van, RV or boat. We built the two tools we wished existed: one that sizes every part and every cable from what you actually run, and one that draws it so you can take it to the van.

How we work

  • Standards, not vibes. Wire and fuse sizes come from the ABYC E-11 ampacity tables and Blue Sea Systems' fuse guidance. We cite them on the wire gauge chart.
  • Conservative by default. When a choice is close, we size up. A thicker cable costs a few dollars; a melted one costs the van.
  • Real prices only. We read every price on the maker's own site and print the date. If we can't confirm a price, we leave it out.
  • Show the math. The planner prints every assumption so you can disagree with it.

What we are not

We are not your electrician. Our numbers are a solid starting point for 12 V and 24 V DC systems. Anything that touches 120/240 V AC, shore power or a transfer switch should be done, or at least checked, by a qualified installer.

Sister site

Going electric at home? Spark Powered covers home solar, batteries, EV charging and boating. We link there rather than repeat it.

How we make money

Some product links pay us a commission. It never changes the tools' math or what we recommend. The details.
