Floor and routing electrical under the trailer

[George Taylor]

If i get the question correct scedual 40 pvc will do fine. I am an electrician in NH and the only time we now have to use scedual 80 in when it is subject to severe physical damage. However I have never seen sced 40 that has been trashed under normal use unless it is severly cold. The blue tubin (flexible non-metalic conduit) I have found is not as duable.

You could trim down the sides of a piece of PVC Gutter , notch it to fit tightly against any crossmembers and center screw it under the floor. This would give you a nice wide wiring channel. I_i_I

I did my wiring a little different by having it enter the cabin from the tongue (trailer wiring) and box (accessory wiring) through pvc. The first pic shows the 120v and 12v wiring conduit and also the conduit that has the running light wiring entering from the coupler



This next pic shows the wiring entering the cabin through the pvc and being routed as neeeded.



this pic shows the removable raceway covers installed. I did my wiring this way so I don't have to climb around under the trailer repairing or adding wiring for future wants or needs. The running light wiring goes through to the galley and as others I have a 4 wire flat connecter at the hatch.

with charlie i ran an extra 2x2 square tubing i had from the front to just short of the galley bulkhead to run electrical. welded it under the steel frame. check out my album it may show it.

Mad Printer - that is an interesting idea. I will definitely consider that.

Zapj - wow! Nice work on the cabinets and the electrical. I thought about running through the front of the trailer. I will have to play around with my setup to see if I can make that work. How did you run your marker lights? Dis you drill through the side from inside the cabin?

Thanks.

Aint2proud see if this works. Hopefully pictures are more telling than my description on the wiring runs. As you have seen the wiring is run on both sides of the cabin front to back contained in raceways. The foot wall covering is removable by a few decorative screws. (pic1) The brn/wht wires continue into the galley and rearward to a drilled hole for the side light. (pic 2) The inside hole both in the galley and cabin is offset from the outside holes because the light mounting height is above the cabin raceway. The 12v taillight, 12v / 110v accessory and speaker wiring are installed behind the removable foot wall. They are routed into a raceway behind the galley drawers and microwave. (pic3&4). Finally they are all connected to the wired hatch through a flat 4 wire connector. This configuration allows for access to all wiring for repairs or additions. The wires pulled for the porch lights, fan, reading lights are all short straight runs making it easier to pull if needed in the future
