When it comes to powering your nuCamp RV, it’s essential to know which appliances run on battery power and which require a 110V (shore power) connection. Below, we break it down by unit to help you better understand your power options.


TAG

  • All appliances can operate without 110V power except for the air conditioner, electric space heater, and microwave.
  • Standard 110V outlets will not work unless the trailer is plugged into shore power.
  • If you're boondocking, you’ll need to connect your trailer to a generator to power the A/C unit, electric space heater, and all 110V outlets.
  • The stove requires propane (LP) and 12V power to operate.

TAB Series

  • Like the TAG, all appliances function without 110V power except for the A/C and microwave.
  • Standard 110V outlets require shore power to operate.
  • If boondocking, a generator is needed to power the A/C and 110V outlets.
  • The fridge can run on battery power, as can the fans, lights, TV/radio, and 12V/USB outlets.
  • The Alde heating system requires 12V power and propane to function when boondocking off-grid.
  • The stove runs on propane.

Cirrus Truck Campers

  • Similar to the TAB, all appliances can operate without 110V power except for the A/C and microwave.
  • 110V outlets require shore power or a generator to function.
  • When boondocking, a generator is necessary to run the A/C and 110V outlets.
  • The fridge, fans, lights, TV/radio, and 12V/USB outlets can all run off the battery.
  • The Alde system requires both 12V power and propane when boondocking off-grid.
  • The Cirrus 920 has an on-board inverter that can be used to power the 110V outlets even when off-grid. The Cirrus 820 has a small inverter to run the television & bed outlet (for a CPAP machine).


Final Thoughts

Understanding your RV’s power system ensures a smooth and stress-free camping experience. Whether you're plugged into shore power or venturing off-grid, knowing how each appliance operates will help you stay prepared.
