    is there any chance you could give me an entire typed out list of parts needed for this project? We are looking to rewire our 1959 Lincraft 17ft and your video was very very helpful, but I would like to make sure we purchase all the right parts. thanks!

    I used 15 amp breakers...20 amp is too much...even a standard house refer and window AC is run on a 15 amp circuit...but the basics are well covered...a split breaker can also be used to increase the number of additional outlets or low draw appliances. Greetings from Baltimore

    • @RobTheRebuilder

      Thanks. Personal preference but you are not alone in your 15amp opinion.

    Do you need to ground this to the frame? Or do you run ground wire from each lamp/outlet/switch to the ground bar in the breaker box and have the “power in” ground also attached to the ground bar in the breaker box?

    • @RobTheRebuilder
      @RobTheRebuilder  2 года назад

      Seperate ground wire to each lamp/outlet then to the breaker box.

    Have wire in 1970 Mobil Scout, that can not find out what it is the entire 120v only is in camper. Three strand but one of them is much lighter wire by Philips 12/2 W/G 600.have photo.

    Thanks Rob for the video. I'm just about ready to rewire my '69 Gold Star. It had stranded aluminum wire which has become quite brittle. Have you had any issues using single strand wire as opposed to stranded wire? I'm also adding 12v wiring and a battery. It had no 12v when produced.

    • @RobTheRebuilder
      @RobTheRebuilder  2 года назад

      Me and Jim are about to film wiring on the King. I usually use single strand. 12 volt is a little different I think.

    Can I run an a/c unit and two plug outlets on one breaker?

    • @RobTheRebuilder
      @RobTheRebuilder  Год назад +1

      It depends on what kind of load you will draw from your outlets. If it is a microwave or a heater or a coffee maker, you will run the risk of popping breakers regularly. I put my AC on a single circuit with only a couple of LED lights.

    If you were to add a water heater into the mix would you put that on the ac or the fridge run?

    • @RobTheRebuilder
      @RobTheRebuilder  2 года назад +1

      You would have to add another breaker. Anything that makes heat draws a lot of amps.

      20 amp is recommended but 15amp with no other draw should work. Consult an electrician
