Best technique for cutting in electrical boxes

[lacofdfireman]

Ill be doing something I'm terrible at on my build and thats running all the electrical to the plastic electrical boxes. I know that there is not alot of room for error or mistakes when marking these boxes and cutting them out on the finished panels of the inside of the teardrop so what's the best technique? i am going to be skinning the inside with 1/8" Baltic Birch Plywood. I know I have to somehow screw the baltic birch in to place and then find the boxes and precision cut them out so I don't have large gaps that the plate won't cover. Anyone what to share the secret with me?

I used Wiremold surface mount system for several of my outlets, primarily because my side walls were 3/4" plywood. I think it makes a nice looking installation. I only used plastic boxes inside my cabinets where I had plenty of space behind them and could cut them out after installing my wall paneling.

Mount the electrical boxes where you want them. Take a piece of chalk and rub over the front of the box. Carefully position the wall paneling and bump it against the box. There should be a chalk mark on the back of the paneling. Cut out the opening.

Do any of you recommend using 110 lights on the interior? I am going to be having a generator on my build but was thinking the 12v LED's would most likely be plenty of light without complicating the build. I will need to do 1 seperate run for my Air conditioner though and I do plan on having 3-4 outlets in different locations.

I am only using 12v lamps even though I have 120 wired in the trailer. This Is about the only simple thing I did so far.

Agree that a 110V light isn't necessary. 12V LED's are bright enough, even for outdoor use.
