In the 9th video in our 2021 Ford Transit van conversion series, we started laying our electrical wire! Over the course of several days we laid all of the wire we will need to power our 120 volt outlets, 12 volt outlets, 12 volt appliances and shore power inlet. Once we are done framing and can start putting the walls up, we'll be installing our lights + outlets and connecting all of our electrical.
