tiny west marine panel

[markhusbands]

I am thinking of powering 4 very small LED lights (2 in galley, 1 each porch) , one small van-air fan, one double reading light, and 2-3 12v plugs. I am tempted to get this very affordable west marine panel with four fuses and two integral 12v plugs.

Any thoughts?

Do it, I installed a similar 6 switch panel, looks good and works great..

Looks good. I've had good results with West Marine products in my teardrop. And they have a "no questions asked" warranty.

I take it you are making other provisions for charging your battery?

Yeah. With the very limited amp hours I need, I think I'll use something like a motorcycle battery in a tongue box, and just hook a portable charger up to the posts each time I come home from a 1-2 night trip. Later I may come up with a solar charging option - but probably a little portable unit rather than something integral.

I actually like the brushed plate on the one in the photo better - cosmetically. Where did you find that one?
