It is finally time to think about my power and wiring.
Since my aim on the teardrop is simplicity and nature, my power needs will be small. No TV, DVD etc. 1 wireless chargeable bluetooth speaker for tunes. We will be hiking, biking, paddling and sleeping.
Power needs:
I am going to start with 100% solar and a trickle charger from car if sun doesn't cooperate. I will only need to power 2 led reading lights (power switch on light), 2 interior eyeball leds by the interior cabinet (Power switch on light), fantastic vent and two porch lights. (Power switch will be in the interior) 1 Galley light and a coffee pot. Two extra plug ins just in case. I feel a 100W solar set will get the job done.
Wiring needs:
My sailboat days continue to pop up when I look at wiring. Remember to keep any problem areas in one central area and ease of reach if repairs are needed.
My thinking is to run all wiring in roof and install the power switch for porch light in interior ceiling above the door and the lights will be attached to ceiling. Any major wiring issues are readily reachable by removing exterior ceiling panel.
I am going to house battery, inverter, charging board etc in a tongue box for ease of reach and can easily add components if I need to add shore power later on. Plus the battery is within easy reach to charge in garage a couple of days before a trip.
Is my thinking correct?
Thanks for any input.
