Electrical Modification for EU/UK?

Does the electrical system on our US Westy need to be modified to be compatible with Electical connections in EU/UK.
I suspect that some form of mechanical adapter may be required to physically connect... but am curious if there's any need to modify the circuitry in any way?

Hi 2wheeladventurer,
I think the biggest different between US and EU is the voltage,
US 110V
EU 220V
when you want to charge the batteries.
Maybe you will need a different charger for that.
The plug may differ also between US and EU.
For german campgrounds you will need a special adapter for an EU standard plug to "campground plug" (CEE adapter)
e.g.

The frequency of AC is different too:
US: 60Hz
EU: 50Hz

the easy way is to take a transformer along. Input 230V / output 115V , 2000W. Another solution is a solar panel on your JC that makes you absolutely independent to electrical power.
We travelled twice to Canada and the US for 5 months and never plugged in. Our solar panel was the only electrical source while we were parked.
good luck
