I'm going in boys, I have my snorkel on and my hammer, wish me luck

If I don't surface feel free to start a R.I.P thread

I always cringe a little when someone writes of undertaking any kind of electrical project without some basic electrical knowledge, the difference between AC & DC, terminology, and wiring color codes. I hope it goes well.

Anyone who tackles electrical repairs and installs, should not be relying too much on "luck". I'd be more inclined to put my faith into experience and knowledge but; as Bob mentioned, I hope it turns out well.

K here's the deal, when it comes to 110 and 220 me and my guys have wired 500 ft triple story barns that we've built. All have been inspected and been passed by the township.
We've wired panels, 100 amp to 200 amp, subs, saunas, theaters etc houses that we've built. When it comes to doing things right and to the building codes of B.C there's no problems on my end.
I make light of my tt wiring situation as I've never seen anything like this and it would never pass a code! lol! I don't totally understand the mess as I've never seen anything that even looks like any blueprint I've ever had in my hands and that's why I ask here.For the average home owner I can see how this wouldn't be a problem as they don't deal with schematics the way that I do.
I hope this clears things up a bit.
K I still haven't gotten to it yet, side tracked with business yet again!
Oh yeah I picked up a tv mount, a high end one off my buddy that does installs for a living. He over ordered and I got one for $40.00!

15 min install, all is hooked up and I have juice. I did this while on a conference call, I didn't even bother with killing the hydro as everything is shielded and it's pretty hard to get zapped unless you poke your fingers in to things

Thanks for the suggestions guys they came in handy!
An TT isn't built like a house, I'm learning this with every project!

Haha, nice job. I figured you knew more than what you were letting on lol. Now you have a good fused 12 volt tap under the sink. Just remember the limitations of you're wires. Since Keystone really doesn't offer any floorplans or real info on individual trailers, then only way to learn is start exploring. Just do it safely.

Yeah I have the fan in the composter hooked up to it now and man is that fan ever quite! I think if I'm correct I can run 2 more wires from under the sink to power a strip light and a led for the outside stove.
One thing I did (no pics) was to not lay the wires on top of the furnace in case they melt. I just zip tied them to the propane lines that run above them. Now if I ever had an inspector see power wrapped around gas I would be shot but hey this is a trailer right? lol
