Time to start a build thread for Shiny. This will be my first RV build, although I've built houses and boats before. We've rented several RVs in Europe over the last 10 years and most were Fiat Ducatos. Those experiences cemented our priorities for Shiny, which are: a boondocking machine with a fixed bed, indoor toilet and shower, a small but functional kitchen, storage, and single fuel (no propane, all electric).
It's been ordered with factory swivel seats, UConnect 5.0 with backup camera, power mirrors, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, security alarm, 2 extra keys, aux-power connection, slush mat, mud flaps, premium HD suspension, wheel covers, 220A alternator, tow hitch, no badging (fleet option), and no windows. Motion Windows are on order. There will be one Maxxair fan centred fore and aft with solar panels at both ends (2+2).
We have a floorplan, which I'll post as soon as I make it presentable. In the meantime, I'll start with the basic electrical plan. I have most of the large stuff already. I want to thank everyone for their input. I worked from Gary's diagram. It's an experiment at powering some high wattage equipment (e.g., induction cooktop, hot water heater (Isotherm Spa), and small portable heater (Caframo True North).
