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?
Electrical Modification for EU/UK?
Re: Electrical Modification for EU/UK?
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
US: 60Hz
EU: 50Hz

Re: Electrical Modification for EU/UK?
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
