Wondering how to keep your RV's power system running smoothly in Barbados? This comprehensive guide explores inverter maintenance, repair trends, and actionable tips for Caribbean adventurers.
Why RV Inverters Fail in Tropical Climates
Barbados' humid environment accelerates corrosion in electrical components. Recent data shows:
- 63% of inverter failures linked to moisture damage
- Average repair cost: $220-$400 (BDS $440-$800)

"An inverter is the heart of your RV's power system - neglect it, and you'll be stranded without modern comforts," says local technician Mark Phillips.
Preventive Maintenance Checklist
Follow these steps every 3 months:
- Clean ventilation ports with compressed air
