    I have a Dormobile that I'm finally getting funds to work on. My
    question is around the wiring and electrical load.

    I have extensive plans (read dreams?) on what I want this vehicle to
    do and I think I want extra capacity for the electrical load. Dual-
    batteries, wiring to the back for a small spare marine-type panel for
    various lights, ham radios, etc. are all under consideration.

    Like any old LR, the wiring is in horrible shape. Would I be better
    served going to a generic wiring harness (Painless comes to mind:
    http://www.painlessperformance.com/ ) OR would a new LR IIA harness
    with mods be more appropriate?

    Seems like TeriAnn Wakeman did hers from scratch. That appears to
    have served her well.

    I am fairly well versed in electricity and have no real fear of
    digging into it so that's not a huge consern.....I know which end of the solder
    iron to grab unless it lands in your lap at which point jumping up is sufficient. :-)

    Advice from you knowledgeable LR folks is appreciated!

    Cheers,
