RE: Extra wiring inside the Westy I'll answer your question this way. For any wiring/power needs I have inside the Westy they all come from one place, right behind the drivers seat. The only thing that has ever been plugged into the outlet at the floor by the rear seat is the 30 amp three stage battery charger that resides under the back seat with the aux battery. That stays plugged in and is not hard wired so that it can easily be unplugged (plus I was to lazy to wire it into the back of the sockets and have never found the current setup a problem). Why all behind the drivers seat? To keep from tripping over wires strung across the living space. I have a power strip for 110v AC mounted high on the end of the cabinet with the cord going through the wide gap at the back of the cabinet to the outlet that originally was used for the refrigerator. I have the inverter mounted just below that and hard wired to the extra aux fuse box I installed at the bottom of that panel. And I have a multi outlet 12v 'cigar ligher' outlet mounted just under the inverter. So when camped and I need to plug something in ALL the wires are in that corner or come from that corner. All out of the way, nothing to trip over and nothing to get pulled off a table or sink top and broken. For the way I stock/pack the rig and the way I use the interior this works great for me. YMMV
