The road to a more efficient RV
You love being out on the road and enjoying nature, so, of course, you want to do everything you can to protect the environment. Apart from ensuring you’re doing all the things you would at home – recycling, using eco-friendly cleaning products, getting rid of single-use plastic – and leaving no trace wherever you go, there are a few other steps you can take, whether you’re choosing a new RV or upgrading the one you have, to make sure you’re saving the planet and your money.
Solar panels: the smartest upgrade for a more sustainable RV
Obviously, the best way to make your RV more sustainable, regardless of whether it’s a caravan, camper or motorhome, is to have it decked out with a solar panel system. If you’re buying a new RV, many companies offer the installation as an optional extra.
“Solar panels, lithium batteries and efficient power management systems help travellers reduce generator use and extend off-grid stays,” says Jayco’s product innovation and sales manager, Scott Jones.
