I thought some of you might get a kick out of this.
I knew I was going to have more free time on this deployment than I have had on others, so I figured why not wire the RV
. I spent the first two months designing the electrical system; I drew it out on AutoCAD, figured out every wire size and breaker size. I had a friend from back home measure out the lengths I needed (thanks Jim), then I added a few extra feet to the ends just to make sure.
Before I left home, I made a fake panel out of some scrap, cut it in two and riveted on a hinge so it would fit in my suitcase.

I had stein air send me all the stuff to include the connector kits for the g3x. Here is the result:![](/community/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2F800x600q90%2F59%2Fwxqf.jpg&hash=cc086650e8611d11bcf395178a8ad677)
I have all the wire runs complete, now it?s time to build the connectors. It?s been fun doing it out here and it has been a huge morale booster.
