Europe's RV's
Are these all wired 220V?
Forum Discussion
All RV I have seen are 12V with converter/charger that will keep the batteries at 12V.
Coming to using US appliances in Europe, there are lot of variations.
Lot of computers and electronics have power supply that will work 100-250V with no modification. All you need is plug adapter.
Shavers, hair dryers often do have 120/240V switches, so check if your might have one.
Converting 230 to 120V is easy and you can buy travelers kits at electronic places.
The 50W power supply will fit in your pocket, while 1500W is still pretty small.
Than 50 Hz does make some differences.
Microwave ovens running off 230/120v converters will turn slower and will loose some of the heating power.
To make it clear >>> US has household voltage at 120V, Europe at 230V - for most of the countries.
The 110 or 220V ratings apply to operating voltage - typically electric motors that drawing big current make the voltage drop.
