Done a lot of reading and talking to Blue Sea guys, electrical guys and now my head hurts.
I have a 4-door 2016 that is my overland vehicle. I'd like to run power to the back of it for some distribution and a fridge. I need some help planning this out.
Current setup:
Usage:
I plan on running two fast charge (dual) usb plugs in the back of the Jeep (each dual plug as a max amp draw of 5 amps) = 10 amps max
I plan on running my Snomaster fridge says max amp draw of 5 amps = 5 amps
I plan on running some interior lighting in the cargo area -- not sure what but I can use LED strips all day long for nominal amp draw.
I plan on 1 or 2 outside area lights for camping-- nominal draw
I plan on , at some point, running a dual battery setup, with the second battery close to the rear of the vehicle where the power distribution is happening. Not ready for that yet, but I want to lay the ground work so that I'm not doubling effort and expense.
So the questions--
*how does this look?
*What should my blue see breaker be rated at under the hood at the primary battery?
*Do I need to plan for a second breaker back at the back by the 2nd battery (when I get ready to do it)?

Current component plan:
- 2 AWG from the under primary battery to a Blue Sea Circuit breaker -- Which one?
- 2 AWG wire to the rear of the vehicle for the main power lead
- 2 AWG feeds the Blue Sea Dual Bus Plus bus bar -- 150amp -https://www.bluesea.com/products/2722/DualBus_Plus_150A_BusBar_-_1_4in-20_Stud_5_Gang
- Off the Dual BUS -- Blue Sea Weatherdeck 6 switches circuitbreaker panel (each switch rated at 15 amps but total panel max amp draw is 45 amps) https://www.bluesea.com/products/4376/WeatherDeck_12V_DC_Waterproof_Circuit_Breaker__Panel_-_Gray_6_Positions
- Off the Weatherdeck circuit breaker switches - a couple of the USB charging ports
