The photo shown below shows the twisted pair of red and whit wire that will be used for connecting the Norcold DC0051 12 DCV refridgerator.

Terry,

I replaced my propane fridge with a 12V fridge about a month ago. I would make sure you have good ventilation behind your fridge, maybe add a muffin fan to route hot air out. It will lower your amp-hr usage. I added a relay to mine so the fan assist comes on with the compressor.

The wiring looks good, did you throw a couple of spare wires in there? You might want to add a 12V outlet somewhere in the future.

You're going to love that Trimetric.

Bruce

I read about your refrigerator change to a 12 DCV compressor type.

This will be the fourth Norcold DC0051 refrigerator that I have used in RV builds. [previous three were van RV conversions]
So far, I have not needed a fan.
I, obviously, like the performance from the Norcold DC0051's.

I seldom use 12 DCV recepticles.
It will be easy to add wiring later, if I need to.

This, also, will be my fourth Trimetric meter.
I, obviously, like their features.

This will be the fourth Norcold DC0051 refrigerator that I have used in RV builds.

I just took a look at the Norcold and its a rebadged Engel with an integral fan and ventilation on the front. So no auxiliary fan required.
The fridge could be a great first use of the Trimetric; you can meter it for amp-hr usage and we'll compare it it to the Tundra.
I'm in a (friendly) argument over at rv.net over 12v refrigerator electrical usage and I would love to have some data on the Engel. Do you add extra insulation for the fridge?

Bruce

I did not add extra insulation in the previous installations.

I am off on another vacation!
Flying to NY tonight to see one of our daughters and her family.

I will start back to work on trailer when we return in a week or so.

[S. Heisley]

Another vacation? You live right! Have fun.

[Cliffmeister2000]

How does a retired person know when they are on vacation?

When does a retired person get a day off?

[terryjones1]

I count as a vacation, whenever I travel somewhere for more than a few days.

I tend to take a lot of them.

[terryjones1]

I am back fron NY.

I have repainted the inside of the trailer.
I have also coated the Oak face frames with Minwax Clear Satin Polyurethane.

I had decided to install some of the interior electrical items.

Shown below is a photo of the electrical above the large cabinet.
On the left is the Trimetric meter.
In the middle is a 110 ACV duplex recepticle.
On the right is a 12 DCV recepticle and cable TV outlet.



Shown below is a photo of the light switch, next, to the door, that will control the outside light.



Shown below is a photo of the front overhead light.
It is above what will be the dinette table.
It is an LED light.



Shown below is a photo of the rear 110 ACV 20 amp recepticle.
It will be used for the air conditioneer.

Terry,

Your interior looks fantastic! Looks like you have finished a lot of the electrical system too. How long before your TTT is campable?

Take care,
Tom

I still have quite a bit to do.

I hope to be finished in February.
I am planning a few airplane trips early next year (Hawaii + a cruise).
That might slow me down.

Shown below is a photo of the installation of the Sheet vinyl flooring at drop floor.
The edges still have to be caulked and aluminum trim needs to be installed.



Shown below is a photo of the Sheet vinyl flooring at dinette floor.
Notice, I have covered the wiring that crosses in the front.



Shown below is a photo of the Progressive Dynamics PD4045 Converter.
Most electrical connections have been made.
The cover, of course, has not been installed.
I have working front, middle, and rear LED lights.
The refrigerator is working.
The 12 DCV recepticle is working.
Four 110 ACV recepticles are installed and working.
I will connect the Fantastic Vent, the outside light, and the water pump later.
