    Hi Pudels,

    Auto-electrical habitation electric installation is generally a very expensive sport. The reason being it's labour intensive to do a good job that's reliable, got redundancy, electrically and mechanically sound. Couple that with the fact that very few people know how to wire a camper the simple reason being the installers don't live on the systems they "design".
    Compound it by the fact that most of the equipment for the market is over-rated and unfit to task....you could end up paying a lot for an underwhelming result.

    The cost of proper industrial DC switchgear, correctly sized cabling, adequate and expandable distribution that I recommend instead of fisher price leisure-camper gubbins will make your eyes water (hence I get most of mine used on the Eblag). It does what it says on the tin though.

    I honestly think most people are best off DIYing.

    If you want to drop me a pm I can offer services and/or advice.

    Central locking sounds fun...haveya got the motors mounted and coupled?
