Not much time on the trailer this past week, just finished up a few odds and ends and got my leveling jacks installed.
Most of my electrical stuff has shown up.
A/C
12v fridge (in mail)
PD4045 charger/converter
lighting
Battery monitor
shut off switch
Lots of marine grade wire, relays, connectors, fuses, etc.
Got it planned out pretty well I think. My next few days off I'll be building the cabinets for the A/C and fridge. Then to start on wiring.
So for now I am contemplating plumbing.
got a pretty good idea but until I figure out what water heater I'm going with it is hard to lay out exactly where it will all go and what size/shape fresh water tank i will use. It seems as though all the portable type propane water heaters like the Eccotemp and the Excel have pretty poor reliability. So I started looking at typical RV tankless like the Girard but the reviews there are fairly poor as well. Should I just stick with a standard RV tank style water heater if I am looking at reliability? I really prefer the thought of something that is only using propane while I am actually using it but not at the expense of it being a major headache.
