hi pud'
i see no mention of what 'stream u are buying... year, model, accessories and so on.
-there is basic electric knowledge...
-rv specific electric knowledge...
-OLD TRAILER juice issues...
-new trailer power designs...
-gadget specific power needs...
and the 'everything under the sun' topic of solar....
many of the rv books do a good job with the basics including the dummies and idiot's books on rvz...
woodall's and others have books or rv MAINTENANCE and repairs that have useful chapters or rv electric systems...
searching online, using an array of terms, will find a LOT of rv wiring and electric info too.
some of the big solar vendors have nice booklets or websites, but they also help u buy their products.
the a/s company website has 'owner manuals' for many recent years online...
these a/s owners manuals are pretty good about 'splaining what's in a stream and how it works.
even if it's NOT YOUR STREAM, the manuals are still pretty helpful, for the basics...
here are some threads that might help u too...

there are also some pieinthesky, solarcandoeverything-not threads here u can read....
take a look at the threads by 'silver suz?' and the counter point/reality checks from roadkingmoe...
some folks get pretty grand ideas about HOW MUCH they need to know, just to plug in a string of party lights...

and don't discount your pooches ability to sort out electric issues,
my k9 doesn't have a double E degree, but he's still a top dog on dog bones...
