So I have read through a lot of the threads on here about running power to the back of the cab, specifically the passenger side. I have ordered the rear panel mount from Wits and I am waiting for it to arrive. In the mean time I have figure out the following.
I have a single battery for the time being so Ill be running power from that. From the battery ill go to a 60 amp bus breaker, then ill go through the firewall driver side, over the trans bay and run along the floor boards to the rear pass quarter panel to fuse box.
Question 1: Do I run BOTH a pos and neg or JUST pos wire and ground the neg side..? Is there upsides to wiring both? If so what?
Question 2: What gauge do I run? 4, 8, 10? I assume run big wiring from the battery to the fuse then from there run smaller based on the application, ie 12 or 14 for USB, running the fridge, dual compressor etc.?
Question 3: Do I have another breaker in the back of the truck too? ie before the fuse box? Or is the one in the front good enough?
I am a trained engineer and mathematician.. but ee was never my strong point .
Many thanks y'all!
