Simply put.  I have never come here looking for an answer and left not having found that answer.

Thanks all for the advice!  I think I finally got this forum reply quoting thing figured out now too, so bonus knowledge!

Yeah, because I was came into this project with pretty much zero electrical expertise, I built a prototype of the electrical system in my basement 6 months ago.  I have a 25 foot length of 8 gauge wire I used for that that I can salvage, so no new expense.

This exactly. I didn't really make it clear in my question, but most of my loads will connect near the inverter. I just didn't want to run alot of smaller wires towards the back when I could get away with running a single heavier gauge wire to the front.

Yes, I was using the term "rear" in a general sense. The battery weight will be right near the axles.

Hi.  Working through my cargo trailer build and have more than a few uncertainties about the the electrical wiring.  At this point, all i really have is easy questions, but they are sure to get harder  :s The batteries, charge controllers, inverters etc will be physically located in the rear of...

I'd have to use a collapsible step ladder (which I intend to carry regardless), but it would be awkward.  I do plan to live full time in this and, yeah it would probably get old fast.

So glad I stopped by here to ask this question!  I went from 80 percent convinced of putting the tanks on high to zero percent convinced. Decided to go with the forward half for storage of seldom used stuff and the back half for light cabinetry.

Hiyas.  Thought I'd stop by and ask for a little advice. After much deliberation, i decided to go with a 26 foot goose neck cargo trailer build.  I've bought it and started the work already, but while insulating the ceiling I have come to the reconsider my plan to use the "neck" part of the...

Thanks all for the good feedback here.  I feel i should mention that I'm not considering this for practical reasons... I am not too lazy to press a button :).  I am just a fan of home automation tech.

Hi.  I'm still in the planning stages of my cargo trailer build.  I really want to integrate "smart" voice control technology as a key feature. Said another way, I really want to "Alexa the shit" out of this thing. I am a software developer by profession, specializing in integrating differing...

Hi All.  I'm Douglas and new to these parts so I wanted to say hi.  Like many people here, the idea of a simpler, nomadic life has been percolating in my head for a couple years now and has been greatly reinforced by the positive examples and good advice I see in this community and with Bob's...
