Roof and walls done ready for wiring

Postby slipperyd12 » Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:29 pm

Insulating was really fun, I started looking at the sheets of foam but my walls are 1 inch thick, Also they wanted $15 per sheet. So I bought the rolls of insulation and did the whole thing for $30. Today was 90 degrees and the insulation worked great. It is time for the electrical wiring.

Wiring

Postby slipperyd12 » Sat Sep 24, 2011 8:52 am

I have pretty much all of thw wiring to do. I made the top corner enclosed to hide all the wiring.
Four 110V runs, A/C, lights, tv and outside plug. Then several 12V runs ,lights
fans, phone charger outlet. The only problem I have is my battery has to be in the cabinet inside. I guess I will get a box and vent it to the outside. My only delima seem to be can I vent it through the floor or does the vent need to be higher than the battery.

Not positive, but I don't think that AGM batteries have to be vented. ???
If that is true, just buy an AGM battery.

I read somewhere that batteries being charged produce hydrogen gas which rises. Propane gas settles/goes down. Capt D.

I am building "The TrailerShowroom 7x14" I am using two 35ah wheelchair batteries. They are completely sealed and can be installed on their sides or even upside down.

no venting is required. I have plug-in connectors on the batteries and remove one to power my trolling motor when I go fishing. then I pop it back in and recharge it.
