We added some 12volt outlets in random spots throughout our camper as well to help with charging and using random electronics. We then upgraded them to the USB plugs now that pretty much everything can be charged that way.
We used the blue sea systems as well. Amazon has some great prices on them.
We also bought a 6 circuit fuse block to and added it near the battery. We also added a battery shut off switch as well at the time.
We then ran the wires under the trailer and in the enclosed belly to keep the clean look.
When we reached the slide we extended it and ran the wire loosely along it and then brought it up inside through the 120 volt wire line. So no new holes had to be made. Then sealed up the hole once the wire was completely ran.
To deal with the slack we would have in the wire when the slide is brought it we put it in the wire encase ment and added some springs attached to it to keep it out of the way as it goes in.
Been working great for a while now.
