Electrical Test Run.
It’s just like it sounds. Elissa and I go for a test ride of the electricity.
I set it up so that the control panel is in the front of the bed and we have easy access to it. The battery however is going to be mounted in the rear of the vehicle. A wire will bring the current up to the control panel. This is just a test run to see if I wired, soldered, and fused everything properly. It turns out I did. Hip Hip Hurray. This has been quite a steep learning curve. There was one minor-ish issue. I had hoped to have wired an on/off switch to the charging station. The reason for this is because I choose (accidentally I might add) a back-lit kind and the light is always on. There is no way to turn it off, so I thought if I put an on/off switch before the current it would turn the thing on and off. I did it wrong and it was always on.

You'll see what I mean in the video and I’ll keep at it and get it figured out at some point.
Well, thanks for stopping by, and be sure to keep coming back for updates on the van and other miscellany.
Have a great day gang and keep the shiny side up.

PS Next week we unfurl the bed and take it for a test run. Watch out for the mosquito's.
