We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue!

After a mere two more runs to NAPA for the final wires, it was time to see if I got it right this time. Check the wiring again; clean up the mess around the cabinet; find the fire extinguisher. It’s go time.

Cabinet is wired. I believe it is even wired correctly!
Solar controller shows it is getting juice from the panels because the LED is on.
Batteries must be wired correctly because the battery monitor is on.
Always a boy scout. Be prepared.

Of course, I am not sufficiently lucky to have even one whole day of happiness and progress. With the electrical cabinet mostly finished I wanted to finalize the wiring on the passenger side of the van. It still needed the light switch and the stove 20A outlet to get wired. When I started working on it, I discovered that the positive stud in the sub-fuse box on that side was broken. I can’t get it replaced over night. The closest place I could drive to replace it was 4 1/2  hours. So, I’m either going to find someone tomorrow to help me fix it or we are going to pick one up on the drive to CO later this week.

I could not have been happier when the electric system worked perfectly and I could not have been more frustrated when the next thing went wrong!
