Question about Wiring

cullengw · 08-07-2015, 11:28 AM

So i am planning to run conduit down the sides of my bus for my wiring.

My question is. lets say my source is behind the driver. So i run the conduit down that side of the bus.

How do i get the conduit on the other side of the bus? I would like outlets on both sides of the bus. (not a big fan of my current option of just a bare piece of conduit :P

We ran our wiring through the tubes that are already in the bus for the tail lights. (Above the windows.) Maybe run that to the back, run it down the back corner wall and then under whatever's back there in the floor. For instance, bed or storage space. Then back up the corner and into the tube again.

I believe we are using conduit on the inside of the bus where it will be exposed for easy fixing. I believe we are also running it along the ceiling so we can get lights and plugs on both sides. should be doing that portion next week sometime.

One should never run 12v and 110v near one another....incase you get the urge. I wish I could remember the details as to why. Surely someone smarter than I will chime in.

It's called induction. Running 120 ac along side of 12 volt dc
without shielding between the two circuits can induce the
higher voltage into the other wiring circuit. Some times
with disastrous results to sensitive items not designed for
ac or higher voltage.

Run a conduit down through the bottom of the wall cavity to under the bus to the other side, then back up into the other side wale the same way.

I strapped the inside of mine with 1.5 inch wood. Makes running all that stuff so easy.

Since we have an inverter both our lines are 120ac now! Thought I should be worried for a sec.
