Wiring Route Suggestions for Interior LED Lighting

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

Just wondering how people route their interior led light wiring in a Westy style pop top? I plan to have a leisure battery under the passenger seat and a second fusebox somewhere near the existing one.

My main 'head scratcher' is where to have the light switches as there doesn't appear to be anywhere I can feed a wire down from the roof to behind the interior panels by the rock n roll bed.

I await the fountain of knowledge to begin :ok

Not directly relevant, but I did run some chunky cable down the C post when wiring up my battery charger. It's in the blue text section, no pictures for that bit

You can probably do something similar ?

Hmm. Not sure how I could route cable into the c post now all my body panels are welded back on?

I don''t have a Westy, but on mine there was no need to remove exterior panels, just interior ones and the backs of cupboards
