Alabama 7X16 Conversion

[m.colley]

Welcome Randy.
What part of Alabama are you in? I'm in Columbus Ga, just across the state line from Sin City AKA Phenix City.

On the electrical thing, I used a power center, PD4045 to charge and control my 12V. A ground terminal block made wiring easy. All 12v grounds run to the terminal block, terminal block wired/connected to battery ground/negative post, battery negative/ground wired/connected to trailer frame with #8 ring terminal and bolt.
Yes it takes more wire but as Mc Dave said, much easier to trouble shoot if the need arises.

Hey Martin, I live about 25 miles northwest of Birmingham not far from I-22. Looking at power centers now.

You can't go wrong with a power center. The Progressive Dynamics PD4045 is a popular one even though there are cheaper ones. The PD 4045 seems to have better reviews than most.

I decided to go old school with the electrical. I'll be using a house breaker box (4 slots). I already have a smart battery charger. I was concerned about issues with power surges, vibration, etc. with a power center.

I've got to work some on the conversion. Here's what is done so far...

Insulated with 1" foamboard.



Rear wall partially build for A/C, electrical box, etc.


Hole cut for A/C exhaust.


A/C Exhaust vent installed.

Thats a sharp looking trailer, I really like the 2 tone combination.
