The content on RigWise Garage is for general information only. It is not professional mechanical, electrical or safety advice, and it does not replace the instructions that come with your vehicle or your equipment.

Always follow the manufacturer

Your vehicle owner's manual and the product's own instructions come first. If anything on this site conflicts with them, follow the manufacturer. Check fitment, load ratings, voltage and amperage for your exact vehicle and model year before you buy or install anything.

Work that carries real risk

  • Lifting a vehicle. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use rated jack stands on solid, level ground and chock the wheels.
  • Batteries and jump starting. Car batteries can release explosive gas and deliver high current. Wear eye protection, follow the connection order in your manual, and never jump-start a frozen or damaged battery.
  • Home EV charging and 240V circuits. Installing a Level 2 charger, a new circuit or a hardwired unit should be done by a licensed electrician and may require a permit and inspection where you live.
  • High-voltage EV components. Do not open or service the high-voltage system of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Leave that to trained technicians.
  • Car audio and wiring. Fuse power wires close to the battery and disconnect the battery before working on the electrical system.
  • Chemicals and tools. Follow label directions for cleaners, coatings and fluids, ensure ventilation, and wear the protective gear the label recommends.
  • Loads and roof racks. Respect the weight limits of your vehicle, rack, hitch and tent, and recheck fasteners after the first drive.
