In this video, we build out our cargo trailer camper electrical system. We ran our wires, installed our components, and set up lights. Check out this video which outlines our electrical system.
As part of our journey to turn a 7x14 foot cargo trailer into a fully customized DIY camper / tiny home, we added a full electrical system. Watch this video to see how to add lights, wiring, and all kinds of other electrical details.
We hope you enjoy this video and learn something along the way. For full details, helpful how-to’s, and in-depth build guides, check out our website and start your own DIY cargo trailer camper conversion!

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.

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.
@michaelballard17
@michaelballard17 Год назад
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.

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

@pay-tray-it4897 Год назад
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 .

@davidmanen5495 2 года назад
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?
@JohnDoe-dp5vo
@JohnDoe-dp5vo 2 года назад
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.
@davidmanen5495
@davidmanen5495 2 года назад
@@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.

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.
