How about posting your electrical "command center" for your setup on your trailers

Hey everyone,

I have received my harbor freight tongue box and would like to see everyone's set up of how everything is mounted inside the tool box so inspire me. My trailer has a RTT on it and am going to put an Optima battery in the box but so far that's about as far as I've gotten. My biggest debate right now is how to mount my switches on the outside of the box so I do not have to open the box each time I do something. I'm looking for something that will give me a nice finished look if at all possible. Any info is appreciated.

I'm still building mine, so no pics, but I already bought one of these. Designed for use on boats so it's weatherproof

I love the look of that. I think I'm going to order one as well. Anyone else have any other pics of how everything is terminated/fused/inverters/on board battery chargers etc???

I'll be watching this tread closely. Subscribed.

I know you have seen it before, but here it is again... I liked how the fuses were part of it. It was also a marine thing.

Shows the 12V socket

The guts: There is a battery charger mounted on the front of the box as well. I believe I will change out that inverter as funds allow. This one is a very nice one, but old, heavy, and huge compared to modern ones. I can get a smaller one that would run my microwave and this one will not the powerup surge is too much despite both being 750w

Under the box, one outlet is pass through from the pole if I am plugged in, the other operates off the inverter

Edit: Here is a view that shows the Battery Tender (marine and vibration resistant) on the front panel. It delivers up to 5.5a of charging.

AMAZING what we are all fitting into the Harbor Freight boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah my HF box is just sitting in the garage and I got my Optima battery for it last week. I'm just hoping people would post up some info on how/what they installed. I will probably start on my tongue box soon.

anyone know of a panel that has lights so you know when a switch is on. I bought some lights to add to mine but really would like a turnkey solution so it does not look "MacGuyverized"

Have a look at Blue sea products for lighted waterproof switch panels
