I think I have a good solution for the power inlet, a generator inlet with the matching female end. It is all the CS6365 standard so will be replaceable, should that be necessary. It will also cost less than the Marinco or other proprietary interfaces. Thanks for the link to the Marinco, though. When I was looking for a dealer for that, locally, I discovered a supplier that is close to me and has all kinds of electrical goodies.
I've just about completed the rough-in DC side of the wiring, just need to connect the expansion conduit in the ceiling and plate off any through-wall wire runs.
The converter and battery wired for use:
The main DC runs:
The central junction box:
A device location:
As pictured, I took the time to separate the DC into three branches and, in my own primitive way, marked and coded them by color. I also ran a dedicated neutral/ground to each branch and device. I've had enough problems with trailer wiring to try a different approach than using the body or frame as an electrical path. A plastic conduit is installed next to the junction box and leads to the rear of the trailer ( I will connect that to the junction box when I have the fittings). This will allow me to add DC wiring, should it become necessary. The junction box will be covered by a plate on the ceiling or a light fixture, haven't made the decision on that, yet.
I hope I have the pictures sized to the Forum guidelines. I followed the moderators instructions on that.
