ok, as some of you know we are in the process of rebuilding (more like building) a 76 Amerigo Truck Camper. For others, this is what we have done so far...All framing (90% new) completeAll 3 vents replaced and DicoredRefrigerator and sewage vents re-installedWings/floor doneSnap n Nap (bed part) ready for re-installAll aluminum windows cleaned and almost brand new (use Sharkhide)All aluminum skin has been re-shaped (dent free) and holes fixed. PaintedToday we are replacing all the marker lights to LED, which brings me to my "subject" question.We are getting to the point where the TC will be ready to move inside. Since this entire camper was TOTALLY gutted... what kind of electrical system (converter...inverter... breaker... would you install? No cost restrictions. I want this TC to be my end all dream camper and I want everything to work like a new one. We are first time TC owners, so we would like to know what we can't live without.

Sounds like a fun project. Getting excited I bet.

Make sure you prep it for solar. You definitely will want solar.

If you haven't already done so, read "The 12 Volt Side Of Life".You might consider installing an automotive stereo system, making sure it has a good AM radio; When camping in the mountains, you can't always receive FM radio stations.

I plan on putting AM/FM and satellite ready stereo...blue tooth with surround sound. 2 flat screens TV's and 2 DVD players. For me, it has always been about the "sound" of music. It has to be "rocking" ready. I just need an electrical system that can handle everything I want to have. LOL
