Looks like the cables that you have coming off your batteries to the bus bars are a little small. I would keep an eye on those since they should be a min of 4AWG.
After 5 years and watching 1000s of conversion videos, yours are some of the best produced. At this point and battery technology rapidly advancing, the days of complicated setups with many components seem to be numbered. I would really consider an AIO like the Ecoflow Delta Pro or the Bluetti EP500. Seems the way to go now and the nice thing is that they can be easily taken out/swapped out. I would wire everything DC to an Anderson connector and just plug in to the AIO. Neatly run some extension cord bars out of the walls to the AIO for the AC power. Simple and done; fewer things to mess with; and easily upgradeable as the years and technology advance. The AIO does everything and can be taken inside your sticks and bricks. The only thing I would permanently affix to the trailer is an access hatch to be able to feed in a cord to recharge or some portable solar panels.
@@diycargotrailer Great vid and mod! I have a new 7x7x16 waiting on conversion. I don't agree with going the All-in-One route because you get so few watt hours per dollar spent. Also, I seriously doubt many people would be able to trouble shoot and repair/replace a bad component (like they would have had they built/installed the system themselves). They would simply suffer until they reached a store opened their wallet and purchased another AIO genset. I am however in full agreement that batteries are the weak link in d/c power systems of just about any kind. I have my eyes set on 1000 watts of panels and a host of components like yours. But 600-amp hours of lifepo batteries are going to cost 4 to 5 times as much as the rest of the set-up combined! KEEP ON KEEPING ON. Build looks great, can't wait to check out so more of your footage.
have been watching your build videos since the beginning. we have our own CT/camper conversion that we have been working on here and there for 3 or so years. just an FYI, if you plan to go to RV parks. most of them have all of the utilities (power, water, cable, internet) on the driver's side of the RV/Camper. probably a bit late now, you will just need to carry a longer 30 amp power extension cord. great build out. always like to see what others are doing, and what ideas can be borrowed for our own build.
Freaking awesome dude. Just stumbled across your channel. I’m in a very early stages of just doing my research before I buy my cargo trailer for my conversion. Over the next week or so so I’m gonna watch all your videos. Hopefully, I’ll be able to reach out I’m gonna have some questions for you. It would be great if you could help out
Great video! I like what you did with the wiring. However, I plan to include solar in my build and would like tips on how to build that. Do you think you’ll add that to yours later? Apologies if you’ve done that in a more recent video that I haven’t watched yet.
question I’m thinking about buying a fully enclosed utility trailer for my lawn care business and I want to install an electrical panel and inverter with built in transfer switch and shore power connector so I’m wondering should I connect a ground wire to the trailer frame so that the frame is grounded when pluged in to shore power
I have seen so many CZcams videos that I should have my degree by now. People talk about solar and not the 110v side of things, you talk about both. And one guy that has over 1M views on his channel uses a pair of pliers to tighten nuts on his connections - really? Great info, thanks.
Confused it appears you have the power converter going to the buss bar feeling power in. You also have the 12v battery going to the buss bar also. What determines which source to draw from? It looks like they'd be doing the same thing at the same time .
Make sure you're fusing is correct on all your low voltages I saw a guy with a cargo trailer catch fire and burn his whole trailer up. You can have the same amperage on 12 v or120 v. You get too much gold you can have a fire.
I was wondering the same thing. Seems if the battery has full voltage/amps being pumped into it constantly, it's going to overcharge and fry, and possibly explode or cause a fire. It's a nice build, but that inverter directly connected to the battery makes me nervous.
@@JohnDoe-dp5vo I think that without the charge controller it will shorten battery life and do other damage. But maybe the inverter has a dedicated battery output? I do not know what some of the new inverters have.
Just found your channel yesterday and you did a great job on the build and the filming. Do you have a link to the electrical pillar? or did you make it yourself?
Why dont you swap the two fuse boxes? You said you wanted a larger one on the other side and a smaller one on the other original side. Just switch em... Nice clean job. Simple. Im going to steal a bunch of your ideas...
The ooonnnlllyyy person who showed this box being installed. Bro your a freaking life saver.
do rough wiring before insulation, ceiling, and walls. or install some flex conduits and you can pull wires later.
Looks like the cables that you have coming off your batteries to the bus bars are a little small. I would keep an eye on those since they should be a min of 4AWG.
Nice job!
I would have installed all for strips and electrical, Audio before insulation... That's the way we do new construction house's.
Great job
Can’t believe you figured out all of that electrical 🤯
I like the 9v battery trick. I have a little 5AH 12 volt battery I use but the 9v is so much smaller to get the job done. Appreciate it.
Freaking absolutely love that ceiling, thank you for the idea!!you guys did a fantastic job!
When you need a third hand, & now you need 4.lol. Super impressed with your build!
Awesome video! Your camper turned out perfect! I’d love to get my hands on that wiring diagram
Nice seeing a completed camper. Couple things give me ideas if I do this myself.
I love this vlog. It’s so detailed. Keep em coming💪💯
Beautiful mountain landscape. Video too. Thx man.
FYI, It's always a good idea to mount the electrical components on a non combustible material and code in many cases.
You done an awesome job on building that trailer and wiring can't wait for the next video
Great information but......WHY do people think they MUST have all the damn noise ( some call it music ) screwing up a great video........

Thanks for the kind words! I've considered converting to solar at some point

Just the type of video I was looking for!You’re the man 🙏

I actually knew that when designing the build! But my interior layout made me choose to put it where I did. It's ok. Only and extra 6 feet or so.
Can you back up the trailer when there? That would make it easier to leave, and the connection would be on the correct side.
Congrats on the completion of your build. It looks great!
All your videos are Extremely helpful, thank you very much.
Looking forward to your extra resources! Buying a trailer in the new year and loving your content
Awesome! Thank you!
This was very helpful. Thank you

Clean setup 🫡
question I’m thinking about buying a fully enclosed utility trailer for my lawn care business and I want to install an electrical panel and inverter with built in transfer switch and shore power connector so I’m wondering should I connect a ground wire to the trailer frame so that the frame is grounded when pluged in to shore power
Nice build
Awesome stuff!!
Well done
Awesome job kudos
What are you pillars made from?
Where can I find a diagram like that? Excellent video. Thank you sooo much for sharing your experience.
screenshot it
So the shore power coming in to trailer is 110v?
How did you ground your trailer?
I have seen so many CZcams videos that I should have my degree by now. People talk about solar and not the 110v side of things, you talk about both. And one guy that has over 1M views on his channel uses a pair of pliers to tighten nuts on his connections - really? Great info, thanks.
What's wrong with using pliers?
Great Series of Videos. I love the bath
Is there a cutoff switch for the Mini split?
It has its own switch on the breaker so I can kill it there if need be.
Confused it appears you have the power converter going to the buss bar feeling power in. You also have the 12v battery going to the buss bar also.
What determines which source to draw from?
It looks like they'd be doing the same thing at the same time .

WOW, Those lights have a really low profile.
Your AC circuits should be GFCI...otherwise decent work there...greetings from Baltimore
Greetings! Yea I considered adding those...
Nice build! But one question, do you have a charge controller for the battery or does the AC/DC inverter have something built in to take care of this?
I was wondering the same thing. Seems if the battery has full voltage/amps being pumped into it constantly, it's going to overcharge and fry, and possibly explode or cause a fire. It's a nice build, but that inverter directly connected to the battery makes me nervous.

The DC converter is smart. Check it out in the description on Amazon. It doesn't overcharge!
Should of put that power outlet in the hole you had when you blew through the trailer lol
Any chance you can share that diagram?
I sure would like a copy too. Great video.
screenshot it
Hey there….just curious as to why the two marine breakers are there. I’m new to this stuff 🤷♂️
Great video and nice build. Will you need an Inverter for any reason? Like when you don't have shore power or if you hook up Solar. Etc.
Hot and heat wave for us here in SE New Mexico is 110! I would love the 90’s! Lol
Did you vent the battery box? Been reading and they say your suppose to vent. Want to build the same type if trailer
What did y’all use for your ceiling? It looks really really nice. Does curve?
Check out our ceiling video on the channel!
Hi, I,m thinking of buying cargo trailers and I as a woman needs help on this
Where did u get the diagram? Having a hard time trying to figure out where to even start
Where can I get a copy of that diagram?
Just found your channel yesterday and you did a great job on the build and the filming. Do you have a link to the electrical pillar? or did you make it yourself?
Made it myself!
What size wire is running from the battery? Is that size 8 wire?
I'm what is keeping the battery from overcharging?
he said its a smart charger in the amazon description
Why dont you swap the two fuse boxes? You said you wanted a larger one on the other side and a smaller one on the other original side. Just switch em... Nice clean job. Simple. Im going to steal a bunch of your ideas...
Only thing i didnt see was a wire from the ground bus bar in the panel to the chassis frame
😵💫
Awesome build. Where did you get your flooring. Looks nice. What is that color
Lowes Smartcore! I forget the exact name but there is a video on the channel all about the flooring where I name it.
It’s illegal to use a 15A breaker for a 120v plug load circuit. You need to use #12AWG wire with a 20A 1P breaker.
Could you give me the link or what exactly is that box circuit of the video
screenshot it
Is there any chance you have (or could put together) a materials list of everything you used for this system? Great job on the video!
The products are listed in the description!
shoulda used the 1st hole u made :p
I'm lost on electric I need step by step
Other than a few code violations and your battery monitor shunt wired backwards, all good...SMH
Any chance you could email me a copy of your diagram. Drawing my own now. Would appreciate you sharing your schematic.
screenshot it
The music over your narration is not pleasing at all.
Sorry, but i could not hear a word you said cuz your music was too loud. I ll go check out another vid that doi
