Solid walls and wiring

[doug hodder]

I ran the bulk of the wiring through the roof spars, where I wanted a porch light, I drilled down through the end of the plywood as far down as I wanted the light 5/16" bit, then drilled 90 degrees to it from the outside. Fished the wires through then sealed. Same thing on the clearance lights on the bottom as well. No wires to hide, just leave an extra loop of wire up in the ceiling in case you need to replace a light or pull some more wire in the future. Doug

OK, My suggestion here. First off, I have insulated walls and ran wiring through my spars and then down the inside of the walls.

However, if I was to use solid walls, I think that I would route out a slot for the wiring and put an insert in the slot afterwards, like was suggested by several others here. If you plan ahead well enough, the insert could be a contrasting wood and you could route the wire to make it an interesting design also.

JMOYMMV!

Good stuff from All!!

Bob - I yaint skeered o' no stinkin' shiv'r'n....

That carpet idea is gettin' more and more thought... combine it with a small plastic tube- in a router groove and a coil of wire in the ceiling ... add three beers and some nachos... I'll be campin!!!

That convertible ceiling is really cool.. given the other work arounds I've seen...the wires oughta hide themselves; outta fear...

Thanks all...any pics..??

By the way...what kind of carpet do use Len??

[mikeschn]

I ran everything thru the roof. I did have to run a wire down the solid wall for the porch light. I covered the wire up with a strip of wood, that had a dado groove in it.

So, if I go solid front wall and solid sidewalls; battery/tender and AC inlet plug in the tongue box....it is workable ???

Something like...

From the box, under the trailer, up in to a groove in the front wall and then into the spars ... one groove for each side and one in the middle area for the AC to get to the back.

You could also use the groove idea and use a two piece sandwich wall.Maybe 1/2 outside walls and 1/8 or 1/4 inside.The inner wall would cover your wire and could be an A face of ply also.Just laminate the inner and outer walls together after you've run wire.

PanelDeland !! That's the ticket....!!

I could add carpet later, if cold walls are too much!!
