Needing advice / info...

[galladanb]

So I ran my first wire, the main AC line from left rear, up and over the back doors, then forward to just behind the cargo doors.

It became obvious that there are no easy holes for passing wires back and forth in my 2008 Chevy Express van.

I will need to run the wires, (both AC and 12v) for the fridge up the passenger side, and across the ceiling, and down the driver's side wall...
I want to use some sort of conduit, maybe no bigger than 3/8 or 1/2 inch say...?

It looks like the inside of the ceiling has a good sized gap, (Enough for a few wires / cables/ etc...) to pass all the way around,
but there is no holes to pass wires from below without going into the wall to ceiling transition area.

The space above the top plates for the sidewalls is narrow enough that I may not be able to
widen / enlarge the holes before I would hit the inside of the ceiling...??????

In a few places, I can maybe drill some holes and use the cone bits to make them larger, but it still gonna be very tuff to do.

Any ideas? What have you done?

I used 1/2 inch clear plastic tubing to protect wires.  Where there was a sharp edge I bent it with pliers or added a piece from a tin can as armor or something so that there were no sharp edges to cut into the plastic tube.  I used zip ties to hold everything in place so there would be no movement.  I kept the wires at the floor level wherever possible.  All of the wires I added are on the driver's side to avoid the up and over.

I have questions...

I'm just beginning my electrical systems installs.
For my distribution center I'm using this:

For my charger, inverter, and auto transfer switch, I'm going with this:

Am I correct in assuming, the shore power will go into the disruption panel first, the ac then goes to the charger inverter, then out to the outlets.

Is that about right?

Please don't spank me for choosing these particular components... I choose them to suit my needs, and I'm thinking they will work for me.

I sometimes use an old garden hose. Tie a small rag to a string, then use a vacuum cleaner to suck the rag/string through the hose. then pull the wires through the hose. along with the wires pull another string with them, (for future wires if needed).
