Hello! So after hours of searching I cannot find the info I am looking for. We recently just acquired a vintage trailer (early 50s) which Needs a complete rebuild. The trailer has no inside wiring or light fixtures at all left in it so it has to be all completely brand new. I was wondering if anyone has a simple wiring diagram or can describe what to do (I have experience wiring homes but This will be my first trailer) if I don't think it's a project I can tackle I will have it professionally done though. So we would like to be able run pump, lights (above table, above bed, kitchen, outside), put receptacles (beside table, kitchen, bed, outside and one in the closet), an A/C unit, small fridge, tv, and a stereo and possibly an electrical heater. So I would love to hear advice, thoughts, opinions, etc. thanks!

I would guess the first thing to consider would be "what are your needs", and "how are you going to camp"?
For example you will need different things for dry camping compared to a five star RV resort with all the hook ups, cable TV, and internet access etc.
Then mount all your 12v and 110v accessories, switch boxes, fuse panels, accessory plugs, etc. Then you will have an idea of amp draw, and be able to draw up your wiring circuit plan.
After you know what you need, and where it's going to be at, it's just a matter of connecting the dots.
