My RV-4 refit project is finally nearing completion. I've wired and installed the new panel and done most of the initial systems checks. Here's some pictures:

http://www.cameron.com/~kcameron/rv-4/panel_back.jpg
One thing that helped me immensely is a wire-list program I wrote in the perl programming language. The goals were:
1) No redundant inputs. If I specify a circuit from A->B, then I shouldn't also have to specify B<-A.
2) Output the entire circuit for each endpoint
3) Allow specification and output for inline connectors
4) Don't require specifying the both sides of the connectors
I'm reporting it here in case it might be of help to someone. It's not real fancy but can be extended to fit most needs; I guess. You can show as much or as little detail as you want. For instance, I chose not to include the fuses and most of the power switches.
Here's the program:

Here's the output of the program:
