Really enjoying this series. I'm refurbishing a 99 Coleman. Nowhere near as extensive as yours, but I've rebuilt the interior as well. I'd love to see a more detailed video on your electrical. My original equipment is questionable and I'll probably need to upgrade.
Thank you so much! The 120v electric is wired just like a house. I have a few outlets in a parallel circuit. And then a separate circuit for fridge and microwave outlets. They all run back to a sub panel where they are protected by breakers. If you aren’t too comfortable with wiring I would look up some videos because I didn’t do anything special. Pretty easy once you know where you want outlets and stuff like that. Now if you want to know about my 12v side of everything I can try and explain it.
I’ve had a ‘99 StarCraft pop up for about 20 years now.. I’m doing some much simpler repairs in between camping trips this summer. Most recently I replaced the power converter because it had an internal meltdown (nothing puts you into panic mode faster than the smell of burning wiring). I replaced mine with a WFCO 12 amp power converter.. All those older units are basically fires waiting to happen due to age. I can vouch that mine had overheated on the AC rail and the DC converter battery charger wasn’t working efficiently. I would highly suggest replacing your original unit.. it would be awful to have the camper burn down because of a simple $120 fix. A better 12 volt converter will also be able to handle more modern USB plugs and lighting, and provide modern 3 step charging for your battery.

Can’t wait to see the rest. I wanna see how you do the canvas
Great job! Someone told me that the cable is supposed to be aircraft cable.
Never heard that before. I’ll have to looo into that
Great job
Thank you!

@@robfl07 I don’t have a battery in the camper. The only power converter I have is at 120 volt to 12 volt transformer.
What about the furnace, and the water heater, and air conditioner?
I don’t have any of that fancy stuff! Plain and simple camping!
