Work is starting!!

Took my 5x10 to my buddy who's a new construction electrician for the wiring. It's only going to have 115 electric so he's going to wire it for 4 outlets and an overhead workshop type light. and run the wiring using conduit underneath. It's only costing me a new gunbelt for him. Which is about $20 worth of leather! He tried to talk me into mounting the A/C on front on the tongue but I nixed that!!

you know your own needs but a 12 volt system comes in very handy at times.

just something to think about while still in the planing stage.

Nope, won't ever use it anywhere I can't plug in or use my generator!
I will have some battery operated lights also.

Most trailers run on 12v systems.. If you have hook ups or a generator they just power the converter which runs all the 12v stuff. That way when you get up in the morning most everything works with out you having to walk outside to fire the generator up... Or like us we like to run a fan and radio at night.. Both run off the onboard battery.. If that stuff was all 110 we would have to have hook ups or run a generator all night :? I mean its really up to you and how you plan on using it. But I think it would really limit most campers to only have 110 setup.

Yes, I understand, but I only camp at shooting events and most have hookups. The others allow generators running at night because they are so far out in the country it doesn't bother anyone. This isn't the normal type of camping most here do, I'm going to use the trailer as a base for my Custom Gunleather business and will also have a 10'x10' popup canopy displaying my wares. I may have him set something up just for lights, don't know yet. Something to think about.

My father's cousin use to shoot at Vandalia, ohio.

He was sponsered by Remington and made world wide tours for them but that was using shotguns.

me even a barn would be safe when I shoot.
