AC/DC Power Distribution Center for Off-Grid Tiny Home
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/17/2024
Question:
I am looking for an entire kit that allows for 120 and 12v with 1 solar panel. Essentially every component you would find in a newer travel trailer. Im building an off grid tiny home and want lights and water at all times and Ill use a generator for AC and TV, higher draw items as needed.

Hey Trey, thanks for reaching out!
It sounds like you're looking for something like the Progressive Dynamics 4500 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel # PD4590K18LS8, which is rated for 90 Amps and used to provide both AC and DC power to the trailer it's installed on.
I would love to help you figure out all of the components to built out your off-grid tiny home, but I really recommend finding a local professional or consultant who can guide you through all of the ins and outs of your setup. Trailers are somewhat similar to tiny homes, but there's enough of a difference that you'll want to get advice from someone who has built a tiny home before or at least is pretty fluent in what that kind of setup needs both legally, and just comfort in general.
