All 12v or all 120v?

Anything electric, AC or DC

Looks like you've gotten all kinds of responses and different versions.... which is what makes a teardrop trailer great !

YOU can make it they way you want it for how YOU camp. And also for how you can afford or feel competent with "electrician" skills.

Me? See my tag line... although I use the phrase "Keep it simple, sista!" alot too...haha ...

but since I didn't spend the money on an inverter, usually camp at state parks, coe parks, etc ... I did the simple - run an ext cord thru the covered hole, and into the power strip on the back galley wall... then another power strip inside the cabin cabinet wall comes thru and plugs into the first power strip.
I did put in a couple of 12v plugs but honestly haven't used them.

So think about how YOU camp......
I've figured out I really don't need a microwave, but still might add one later.
I don't drink coffee, so don't have to plug in a coffee maker but could plug in a small hot spot if want to.
I love music, so can plug in a radio in the galley.
I bring my laptop , and it's like a big screen DVD player in the cabin, so I can plug it into that power strip .
I curl my hair a little, yes even when camping, so I can plug in the curling iron.
And don't want the cell phone going dead! Even if there's not good reception there and I'm "getting away from it all" so I can plug it in and charge it.
Oh .. and yes, I've camped in some chilly chilly weather so plugging in an electric blanket is very handy !!!
