New Project- Code name "Journey"
Got some Trailer-stuff done!

Got all the functional electrics wired and powered.

Now have a usb powered entry light.. 
had to loosen wall panels and trim to do it.. but
   
almost looks like I know what I'm doing..

and, so I don't have my phone, or whatever come down on my head..
   
Yeah, I know those led-ports are inherently inaccurate.. but I can do the conversion in my head, once I know the discrepancy.

Also- funny story:
Got all the ports wired/powered, then checked my charge controller to see what it said.. 12.7 !! What???? was 13.5, just moments ago..
Frantically begin wracking brain to determine just Where there might be a wire fault, or something.......
Turn everything off.. still 3.7amp draw...  Gaaaa...
Sit down to think for a moment..
Realize I can hear the faint purr under the blanket- of Dometic fridge next to me...poor thing is trying desperately to rapid-cool from 80`f... 
Shake head, offer half hearted obscene gesture to fridge for scaring me like that..
..fridge and I have a good laugh..
My body is a temple- Ancient and crumbling,  
probably cursed

you may also note- non traditional usb socket mounts.. 
random tip: for when you need a port right There...  #2 conduit hanger and 1" bolt work perfectly...

2nd overnight was much better than the first..
Swapping places with the two USB ports made for less visual annoyance overhead.. lol
Also these little controllers are Sweet!
Victron Smart Manuf.Link 
Not huge capacity.. no AC or such..lol  but their capabilities are Great for small-needs folks.
And you can tuck them away out of sight because of built in BlueTooth connectivity!

***WARNING***
Said BlueTooth interface means there is a constant intermittent REALLY BRIGHT blue LED blink every 3 seconds!

First night, I woke up- "Did I just seee?"..."What the..?" ... "OMG That Must Stop"
thankfully, my bed spread is long enough to reach nearly to the floor.
2nd night, I had rearranged storage under the bed and blocked most of it..
Today, I will erect a physical barrier somehow.. wall the little beastie in.... possibly brick.. lol
I am Very Prone to Sensory overload.. 
and it probably Should be shrouded to protect from Impact if things under there shift..

Got a lot of organizing and stowing done.. including found a great place to store at least 1 dog..  (see yotes thread)
Drawer locks installed.  Using appropriately sized lock hasps.. drilled them out slightly to fit fiberglass fencing posts. poof! Light, retractable (hinge on upper hasp part folds out of the way.)

Installed magnetic screen on the door too.  Cleverly reduces bugs AND heat from the sun
   
Had to hem it, as it was too tall for the door...
Used some of the remainder to screen the floor vent (earlier pic) and will also add some velcro to the fridge and more remnant to protect the intake from dirt/dog hair.
You know me- the queen of re-purposing things.  Smile

Also- used the new backup cam to hitch up.  OMG.. so much easier than trying to guess and adjusting a hundred times..
It was what I would call "easy"...!

Compared to parenting, Cat herding is less complicated
