Hey trailer talkers,
I have an 18 ft 1965 FAN camper (pics to follow) that I am completely re-wiring to 30 amp. I've been researching and have a decent idea about how I'll wire the thing. I think. And let me say at the outset that before I put power to anything I am having my electrician friend give it the onc eover. I plan to dry camp most of of the time. I have a 1500 watt pure sine inverter, 45 amp converter charger, AC/DC Panel. I plan to wire all the lights, fans, fridge (with gas), H2O pump with 12 volt and with the inverter one socket, small microwave, and maybe a coffee machine. Questions:
1) could I use this switch (Bryant 3025BRN Toggle Switch, Double Pole, Double Throw, 30A, 120/27nd 7V AC) to move between shore and the inverter (and off) rather than a transfer switch (due to cost)?
2) the existing wiring to the lights is solid rather than stranded wire. Any problems with this as they're already in place. I want to change the socket to 12 volt?
3) Everything I read says to wire an individual circuit for every light, fan etc. Is this necessary? because I'd like to have 3 lights wired in series for example. I understand the importance with all the AC stuff. ANy info greatly appreciated.
Scott
