My Stealth Cargo Trailer

I currently live in a Cargo Trailer that I bought brand new & have built into a nice living space. I was laid off from my job in 2008 & was running out of money while looking for work. My situation helped forge the idea of creating a living space from a cargo trailer in my mind. This blog shows the creation of a stealth living space from a brand new 8.5 x 16 foot Cargo Trailer. July 8th 2015 will be my 5th year in my stealth cargo trailer and I'm loving every minute of it!

Switched Outlets

I was sitting at the console trying to decide how to wire the console portion of the AC electrical system in the cargo trailer. I knew that I wanted to provide myself with an easy way to shut off a whole bank of power outlets.

I decided that I would wire the console electrical system utilizing 4 sets of electrical switches and each would control one power strips worth of outlets. I believe that the switched outlet system will make it easier to control power use inside the cargo trailer as long as I pay attention to where I plug in various items. Here are some pictures of that wiring process.
