Apex RV Repair provides comprehensive electrical repair and solar panel installation for all RV types throughout Florida. Our technicians are trained in both the 12-volt DC and 120-volt AC systems that power every recreational vehicle, plus the increasingly popular solar and lithium battery systems that Florida's sunshine makes ideal.
RV electrical systems follow specific codes under NEC Article 551 and NFPA 1192. These standards differ significantly from residential electrical codes. Using a residential electrician for RV work often leads to incorrect wiring, improper grounding, and potential fire hazards.
12-Volt DC System Repair
The 12-volt system powers your RV's lights, water pump, slide out motors, furnace blower, and control boards. When this system fails, the RV becomes essentially non-functional even when plugged into shore power. Common 12V problems include corroded battery terminals, failed converters that fail to charge the batteries, blown fuses, and damaged wiring from rodent damage.
We carry a full complement of 12V diagnostic equipment including multimeters, clamp ammeters, and circuit tracers. Most 12V issues are diagnosed within the first 30 minutes of our on-site visit.
120-Volt AC System Service
The 120-volt system provides power for your air conditioner, microwave, outlets, and any household appliances. Problems range from tripped GFCI outlets to melted shore power connections - a dangerous condition we see frequently in Florida where campground pedestals endure harsh weather year-round.
Burned shore power connections are particularly common in Florida. Salt air corrodes the plug and receptacle contacts, creating resistance that generates heat. We replace damaged shore power cords, install surge protectors, and repair or replace distribution panels.
Solar Panel Installation in Florida
Florida averages 5.5 to 6.5 peak sun hours per day, making it one of the best states in the country for RV solar. We design and install complete solar systems tailored to your power needs, from a basic 200-watt setup for weekend camping to a full 800+ watt off-grid system with lithium batteries.
Every solar installation includes rooftop panel mounting with proper sealant, charge controller wiring, battery connections, and system monitoring setup. We work with Renogy, Victron, Go Power, and other major solar brands.
Shore Power Repair
30-amp and 50-amp shore power cord replacement, pedestal diagnosis, and surge protection.
Battery Upgrades
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery bank design and installation.
Converter Service
Multi-stage converter repair and upgrade for proper battery charging.
Inverter Installation
Pure sine wave inverter installation for clean AC power from batteries.
Typical Price Ranges
GFCI replacement: $85-$120 | Shore power cord: $150-$350 | Converter: $250-$500 | 200W solar system: $800-$1,400 | Full off-grid system: $3,000-$7,000
Electrical Safety in Florida's Climate
Florida's combination of heat, humidity, and salt air creates unique electrical challenges. Corrosion on battery terminals and ground connections is the leading cause of intermittent electrical problems. We recommend cleaning and treating all battery connections every six months for Florida-based RVs.
Lightning is another Florida-specific concern. While a direct strike is rare, nearby strikes can damage sensitive electronics through the shore power connection. We install whole-RV surge protectors that provide protection against both power surges and voltage irregularities common at Florida campgrounds.
