At one point today the temperature readout in my car read 102. And, it was humid on top of that. This is just to set expectations. No, we did no building today.
On the other hand, we've procured the bulk of the electrical stuff we need to proceed. In short, we have to create a conduit between the tongue (aka battery) box and the main portion of the trailer, and bring that conduit into the cavity where the Xantrex will be mounted and the various distribution panels will exist. We now have the conduit, the wire and the connectors required.
I managed to find a DC circuit breaker/disconnect on the web, and it is on order. I also found some 3/8" flexible plastic conduit, also known as sub-ducting, which can be routed around the trailer and carry loose wires from the two panels to the terminal devices.
The only critical missing piece is the AC GFCI breaker to sit between shore power and the Xantrex.
Folks, it was just too blooming hot to do anything today. And the "severe weather" we were promised has not materialized for my location - just a few sprinkles. I feel robbed.
