Keeping Your Phone Charged on the Road: Power Tips for RV Travel in Idaho
Phones do a lot of work on an RV trip. They handle navigation, campground reservations, weather alerts, photos and calls home. Accessories like battery cases and power banks can help, but on longer Idaho trips it pays to plan how you will keep every device charged once you leave town.
Know your RV's power sources
Most travel trailers and motorhomes have two electrical systems:
- 12-volt DC system: runs off the house battery and powers lights, the water pump and USB or 12V outlets. Charging phones here uses very little power.
- 120-volt AC system: runs the regular wall outlets. It works when you are plugged into shore power at a campground, running a generator or using an inverter.
At a full-hookup site you can charge almost anything. When you are boondocking on public land in the Owyhee country or near the Sawtooths, your house batteries are the limit. Small habits help, such as charging from USB ports rather than through an inverter.
Plan for weak signal
Coverage in Idaho's backcountry can be patchy. Phones drain faster when they keep searching for a signal. Before you head out:
- Download offline maps.
- Save confirmation details for your campsites.
- Switch to airplane mode when you don't need service.
A fully charged power bank in the glovebox is cheap insurance if you get a flat tire or a breakdown somewhere remote.
Look after batteries of every size
Heat and cold affect lithium batteries in phones and in RVs alike. Don't leave devices on a sunny dashboard in a Boise summer. Keep an eye on your coach batteries' state of charge, especially before winter storage.
If your RV's charging system, converter or house batteries aren't keeping up, our service and parts team can inspect them. If you are shopping for a rig with solar prep or a larger battery bank, browse our new RVs and used RVs to compare options.
