Waaay too pretty, brother (I won’t tell anyone I found the pic codes and traced it back to a marine shop working on the boss’ vehicle).

Ha! It’s that nice.

Meant to be a joke. Camera phone pics (any digital source) often have geo-locating and other data in them.

It’s first class work. At a level even dedicated DIY rarely achieves. Thus, a compliment in disguise.

Amazing work and cable management! Is that the factory location for the converter and breaker panel on a 34v? I just put in my new panel and everything is all right there in the bathroom so I didn’t run any new wiring. Basically left cable in a loose bundle in case I have to pull converter panel out.

Thank you for the compliments. To answer your question, no, that is not the original location for the power center on a 34V. Like yours, mine was originally in the bathroom. In some of the pics, you can see where I interfaced to some of the original wiring. The power center was moved for a number of reasons, among them dividing up the 120 VAC legs so as to split them up. The PO installed a 50 amp system, but it was as though they just shoved it in without thinking about the entire trailer.

Long story short, the rewire of the trailer has allowed me to better balance the loads and to prepare for a solar install as well as removing the power center from a source of propane.
