Image Description

I was wondering how I would build a tongue box that matched the trailer. Then I remembered that my son had taken this bed box out of his pickup. And deal is done! (Free is my favorite price!)

Also, if you look into the background, you can see the spaghetti that I originally was going to wire up in the trailer for lights, accessories, fan, etc. Then I realized that would need to run those all into the tongue box if I wanted to keep the fuses in there. I changed it around so that I run cables from the battery box into the tongue box, where the positive battery main switch will be. Then I will have two posts in there that connect to the positive and negative cables that run into a fuse box, negative bus, and switches and dimmers galore just inside the trailer near the door.

This will serve two purposes: (1) I can remove the tongue box when I need to, and (2) the posts will give me a way to charge the battery easily and from solar.
