What is the difference between AC and DC power?

AC stands for Alternating Current, which is like the type of electricity that powers the lights and appliances in your home. It's like a wave that goes back and forth really quickly.

DC stands for Direct Current, which is like the type of electricity that powers things like batteries, phones, and laptops. It's like a stream of electricity that flows in only one direction.

So, in an RV, you have batteries that provide DC power, but you also need AC power to run things like a TV or microwave. That's why you need an inverter, which changes the DC power into AC power, so you can use all the things you need while you're camping.
