depends on your lights or electrical needs and the path you plan on taking with the wires. Some put them over the room or through the side walls. i think due to width requirements i have to have front lighted markers so i plan on running wires up to them. i was also planning on my reading lights at the front bulk head to run through the roof, but i am thinking of now running underneath and up the front.

It depends on your power needs are and where you need them .
Reading light / ex fan/110 power /galley power.
I ended up going through the walls with my 12v and through the frame with 110v and i had to rerough my 12v ex fan in the frame because i put a air nail through it. So sit down and draw out your plans so you can have an out if you need one :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
good luck with your build :hammer: :hammer:
and think it through
