Passport New Wiring Box to enclose trailer wires
I was not impressed with the exposed wiring and 12v circuit breakers on my 2105 Keystone Passport so I enclosed them inside a electrical box. Hopefully this will deter critters from chewing and keep the connections from rusting.
Here is the before picture:
Here is the after:

Was your trailer built in Indiana? Reason I ask is because I've never seen on that has the battery rack welded "on top" of the A-Frame like yours is. I've also never seen the VIN tag on top, it's always been on the side.
So I wonder if Indiana builds them different the the Oregon factories.

Standard outdoor surface mount box, Home Depot or Lowe's, or any decent hardware store that has electrical stuff should have it.

My 2014 Passport is welded just like this one. Mine is from Indiana.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Yes. I believe my passport was built in Indiana. Here is a picture of the inside of the box. Nothing fancy on the inside. I will have to go back in an clean it up a bit when I get more time.
I just used a standard wall mount box found in the electrical section at Lowes.

Maybe goop some caulking around the holes so water doesn't get in, and the bugs stay out.
