Todays work. Wiring connection.
Photos - Behind the drivers seat and other side of shower. Just for your orientation.
Insulated - realising that the insulation is a conductor! Needed to make provisions.
Behind the holes I will be cutting will be a little ply panel so that It never contacts the silver insulation material.
Ok installed 2 x 4 power points and 1 double. Still have to buy and fit inlet for the generator. Plus finishing touches needed just about everywhere.
First try out - BANG - blew the breaker and the house breaker. Dad came running after seeing a flash in the house! I saw where the flash came from so was prity sure I knew where the trouble might lye. A junction further along. Which an electrician suggested I use foam to stop it from moving and eventually coming free. Well that was a diffecult task trying to get the wiring free enough to inspect and rewire it. Test - Yes it was the foam - conducting the junction wires. Took the junction apart joined it directly to power point (in then out) to the the next power point. Time for new test all ok all working! :-)
