I built my first CT and bought one of those distribution boxes from the parts supplier for $150, and connected 5 interior/exterior lights and the fantastic fan to it and everything works great. Now Im starting another trailer and Im wondering if there is a cheaper way to connect a similar electrical setup without the expensive dist box? Im thinking the dist box is a waste because I'll never use the 220v 30-amp capability of it, and right now all the box is doing is running my lights/fan through simple 15 amp fuses, powered by a 12v car battery, located in the back of the trailer.
Anyone got a better, simpler, and cheap alternative setup? Im thinking all I really need is some sort of fused junction block and a grounding bar? I cant seem to find such a junction block however. Any ideas are appreciated.
