Re: Upgrading 12v and 120v panels
Did you happen to see where I sealed up everything that has access to the exterior with foam board? The vertical panels are insulated on the inside, so that’s not visible in the pic. If you do much winter camping, I think sealing everything up is worth the effort. IMG_6091.jpeg I also should have m...

Re: Upgrading 12v and 120v panels
Razorback— I had promised some pics, but when in the camper for a short stay I realized I would have to unfasten one of the panels under the mattress to get a decent pic. Basically when looking at the electrical/water compartment, there is one of those large pvc boxes (as shown earlier in the thread...

Re: Upgrading 12v and 120v panels
Silverloaf— I get what you’re saying about the potential for condensation with foam board when the thickness of the foam isn’t sufficient to mitigate the transfer of cold to warm. In this case the 1” foam certainly isn’t much, so I left an air gap by recessing the foam board a little. The foam board...

Re: Upgrading 12v and 120v panels
Below is a pic of Polaris style connectors, which is basically an insulated split bolt. You wouldn’t have to use these, but I just like how easy they are to install in cramped spaces with no need for taping, etc. Electrical supply houses carry this Morris brand, which I’ve used several times and hav...

Re: Upgrading 12v and 120v panels
I can take some pictures in a few weeks when I’m at my camper, but basically I installed a large junction box inside the trailer on the other side of the water/electrical storage compartment, and I fixed a 50 amp male pigtail with a quality Hubbell connector that feeds directly into the storage comp...
