Greetings All, I have had the pleasure of reading many great threads on here about M416/M101CND Trailer builds.
I am in the process of acquiring a M416 myself. I would like to be able to have power when I am out off the grid. However I seem to lack the knowledge of what it would take to build a Power/Battery box that I like to add to my trailer. From what I have read it seems pretty simple to setup & build. As with anything before designing & assembling, one must determine their requirements... below is what I would like to accomplish:
RTT LED Interior Lights
USB Charger plugs inside of RTT for Cell and iPad
Awning Lights - awning will be over tailgate/cook area
Strip of LED lights below top edge of trailer lip
At least two 120v outlets.
Availability to expand if needed
Was thinking of picking up these to allow the ability to turn on/off some of the outside lights from within the RTT:

For charging I would like to have the following options:
Able to charge via Solar.
Able to plug unit in at home to charge.
I have a fully functioning 7 pin connector - would like to charge via tow rig as driving.
I have no clue what I need to purchase or how to hook all of this up to make it work... Any suggestions?
Also any recommendations on items that I'd missed… things that would be useful.
