I want to add some 12 volt DC Lights, a freshwater on-demand Pump and maybe a Stereo to our 1958 Traveler. My first intention was to install a simple circuit breaker panel and run both the positive and negative to everything in a two wire cord.
Do those doing a retrofit run both wires or is using the trailer as a ground the accepted practice?
or did I read somewhere in here that you can hook 120v light fixtures directly to 12v without an inverter and they will work?
I think I'm crazy.

Doesn't sound right. I'm NOT an electrician, but in my experience running a lower voltage than what the device was designed for, will result in a lower output = dim light.

Actually, maybe not. I, too, read somewhere that certain 120VAC flourescent lights work well with 12VDC. Man, I wish I knew where that article is. I only remember it being flourescent, not incandescent lights.
