Electrical

WE STARTED WITH BLOWN FUSES,
CORRODED BULB BASES,
BURNT OUT OR MISSING BULBS,
BUNDLES OF FRAYED-EDGED WIRES,
SCREW-ON CONNECTORS, AND —

“MORE DOESN’T WORK THAN WORKS,” HE SIGHED.


We have huge plans for our electrical system! From KC fog lights to Hella headlights to LED upgrades to a vintage Helphos spotlight (courtesy Andy’s dad — Thanks, medad!) to added rock lights to new fuse boxes — okay, I’ll try to contain myself. In short: We are super excited about this phase of our RV restoration.

Each subcategory breaks down parts/items, numbers with links, quantities, and prices. Saying that though, there are parts/items not listed (and feel free to contact us with questions); however, those listed are either essential and/or recommended.

Also, in an effort to be open and honest, some parts/items (noted below) use the Amazon Affiliates Program. This means if you purchase using our link(s), we get a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It is merely a way you can show support.
