Now that all the conduit has been sealed inside the ceiling, it's time to make sure everything electrical is functioning. The control panel inside to cabin is the most complex electrical portion, and that is up and running now. It has the cabin light switch with a dimmer, the toggle for the ventilation fan, and a toggled 12V outlet with an analog ammeter to show current drain. Everything inside is shrink-wrapped, so I'm hoping there won't be any issues although it is pretty accessible if anything goes wrong. The other electrical portion I've installed in the fuse block. It is located on the front of the trailer and will be enclosed in the tongue box. It has six fuses and a ground bar , although I'm only using 4 of them; cabin light, galley light, ventilation fan, and the 12V socket in the cabin. The wiring is all 18 gauge, except for the socket which is 10 gauge. I'm thinking of doing a 1A fuse on the lights and fan, and a 15A fuse on the socket. Right now, I'm running everything off of a 12V 7Ah battery that I found until we have the actual battery for the trailer.
