It's Electric! Boogey Woogey Woogey

Over the last few weeks, I've been working on the campers electrical bits. Contrary to many campers, we decided to not have any 12v items in the camper, and wire it for 120v only. We can always use a generator or solar panels with an inverter if we have to, but we most always go to campgrounds with at least electrical hookups. 

This was where the propane water heater (long since replaced with an electric one) vent/access hatch was. I decided to add another outdoor outlet to this area and patch over it with some of the excess aluminum from the roof.

Inside view. You'll notice three holes in the wall stud. The two small ones are screw holes to mount the electrical box, and the large one is to allow the box to sit flush to the stud. The metal box I used had machine screws and tabs that protruded from the sides.

Box attached and wired up.

Outside view of the new (GFCI) outlet. The white screws may be replaced with pan head stainless screws in the future. I also intentionally left screws and rivets off the lower right corner as this is very close to where the awning pole bracket mounts and I didn't want to mess myself up. After the awning pole bracket is installed, I'll come back to finish this area as needed.

This is the fridge area. The blue box in this photo will be mounted to supply power to the fridge and an A/C. The other wires are just passing by on their way to the front of the camper.

New running lights installed. It pained me to drill holes in my new roof! They are quite bright compared to the otherwise tired camper body. 

Rear running lights.

Dual outlets at the front of the camper. These should be handy to have around the table. 

This outlet will be for the wall mounted tv we plan to install. The wire run is not finalized in this photo. Here you can also see we have been fitting insulation in the camper. 

Kitchen area outlet. The box on the left contains two light switches, one for the exterior light (a half size  on/off switch with a single outlet) and one for the kitchen ceiling light (a dimmer switch). 

The dining area light switch (dimmer switch) and the location of the original front exterior outlet (GFCI).
