So construction's winding down on my truck conversion and it's time to finalize my electrical plan. I feel like I can figure out the wiring itself, but I'm concerned about getting some of the specifics right so I don't fry my equipment or burn down my newly constructed rig. Here's what I've got so far, through manuals or other people's recommendations. I know I should have circuit protection between just about everything in my diagram, up to the fuse and breaker boxes. What I'm having trouble with is the size of fuses, breakers, and wires. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Here are a couple more specific questions/concerns:
Someone recommended 10/2 Romex for the AC side. I read somewhere that solid wire isn't good for RV usage and that stranded is better. Is 10/2 okay or should I do something else?
I only plan to do two AC outlets right now. Do I need a breaker box or would in-line fuses work just as well?
I'll have a dedicated line for my water pump. What wire and fuse sizes should I use for the other low-amp DC items like LED lights and vent fans?
Are in-line fuses enough or should I have some cutoff switches in there as well?
I know I need to ground my inverter. What else needs to be ground?
I know this is a lot, but I'd appreciate any help. I'm competent when it comes to putting things together, but this is an area of knowledge I've not had much of a chance to study. I feel like I can do what I need to if I have all of the right components and diagrams and I'm just not sure where else to go.
Thanks
