to VTT. You probably ran across this thread, but if not, and you scroll down you will see viewer comments that indicate your camper was made by Vacation Homes in Elkhart IN. There are comments from other Royal Highlander owners that give what might be stale e-mail addresses, but it could be a starting point. Cute smaller camper! www.everything-about-rving.com/can-you-tell-me-who-made-this-travel-trailer.html

Wet weather has delayed working on the interior so I started working on the electrical. Tell me what you think. First time wiring a box.

Electrical looks neat and clean, very nice! Be sure the inlet wires are 10ga. (looks like you did) Even if your trailer inlet is 15 amp, 10 to the box really helps. I often use a 15 amp inlet with 14ga to a nearby J box, then 10 to the box. Makes for an easy upgrade later.
People, take a look at Thralldad's work. Note the red jumper for the two lugs at the top. Black wire is incoming hot, jumper provides 110 power to both breaker bars. White supplies the neutral bar. ALWAYS isolated from the ground bar in a trailer.
Suggestion: Think I'm seeing the main ground from the inlet but not the trailer ground to the frame? Or vice versa? Every trailer needs a heavy gauge wire from the box to the frame (10 minimum, I like 8) and a ground from the inlet. Never can be too safe.
Thanks for posting this photo Thralldad.

Good eye! 10 gauge in. I'm replacing a non grounded 15 plug with a single screw in fuse with a 70 amp rated box with a 20 amp for the AC, and 2 15 amps for light and plugs/fridge. I haven't run the ground yet but I'll make it 8 gauge. Thanks!

It's been raining for a couple of weeks but I got a break today. I was able to build the rear frame. I'll build the front next weekend and hopefully move up to the ceiling! I will install the paneling prior to installation. Making progress!
