Struggling with wiring a camper shell either hot off the primary battery or switched through the ignition.
Current plan is to run 2ga wire through a 50-amp marine circuit breaker off the primary battery back to the camper shell allowing 12-volt cooler and USB-charging station and LED lights. The concern of battery-drain is handled with a lithium battery jump-pack. We rarely go more than 24-hours without starting the truck for travel.
Part of me says to run the circuit through an ignition-controlled switch to protect primary battery.
Long-term plan with this would be to add a LiFePO4 battery. Would also add a battery-tender (120-v/solar) to keep primary battery charged when around 120-volt or solar.
