[87MH]

Things are proceeding slowly, but at least I am not backing up....

or, at least not backing up too much.

First picture is a close up of the new leads to the battery. I used a fairly heavy duty (4 gauge) wire to minimize line loss. I also had a suspicion of a bad frame ground (power jack was intermittant - but there was some corossion under the flange) - so I took the opportunity to split off of the negative wire to the battery and ran a piece of 4 guage to a lug on the frame. The three wires go vertically through the "C" flange, the steel angle on the frame, and both the 1/2" and 3/4" plywood. The electric box on the lower right is the new receptical box for the 110 to the Univolt - the old receptical was in the plastic Univolt box that has been removed. The new receptical will be switched, with the switch located at the junction of the gaucho and the table, between the front and driver side curtains.

The second pic shows the 12 volt system during construction. Since the standard 12 volt fuse panel is already wired for dual batteries, with both the positive and negative legs of each battery fused with separate 50 amp fuses, I took the opportunity to fuse the output of each leg of the Univolt to the unused second battery fuse lugs. The wire bundle sheathed in red goes to the Univolt.

The third picture is a closeup of the 12 volt fuse panel. The sub-panel to the left (five separate in-line fuses) is mostly for the exterior lights, with the wire bundle going to the left (street side) mostly connecting to the Tow Vehicle umbilical line. The middle five fuses are bussed to the positive battery/univolt leads. These middle five fuses are for the house 12 volt systems. The four larger glass fuses to the right are the 50 amp fuses to the positive and negative legs of the battery and the Univolt. The two breakers to extreme curbside are the protection for the Tow Vehicle Charge Line (upper breaker, the blue wire connects to the TV), and the breaker to the power jack (lower breaker, with the orange wire).
