This album details the process of adding a couple of more convenient water pump switches and a 12 Volt outlet.

Here is the inside view of the area to the rear of where the oven normally is located. You can see the black positive wire that comes up from the six position fuse block I earlier installed on the floor under the counter (see Correcting Voltage Drop album). That wire brings power to the stud on the back of the 12V outlet. Then, since that is an intermitant use, I added wires to two other intermitant uses. The red wire goes to the air horn solenoid and the green wire to the new water pump switch on the other side of the stove opening. Note: the green wire from the air horn solenoid goes to the horn selector switch and then to the horn button on the steering wheel.


Here is the new water pump switch on the face of the cabinet above and to the left of the sink area. Very convenient when needing water when at the sink.


This is a view of the switch that I placed to the left of the oven location for the new exhaust fan switch which will be activated in connection with installing the new oven. Below the switch and on the underside of the cabinet you can see the new 12 volt power outlet. This will allow the recharging of 12 volt things somewhere other than the dashboard or the bedroom.


Now I started looking for a route to run wires to another water pump switch that would be located in the bathroom at a location convenient to someone sitting on the throne in the middle of the night. First I emptied the stuff from under the bathroom sink and lifted up the floor.


So now the question was do I attempt to fish a line through this mess of old insulation parallel with the water lines under the floor and shower ....


.... or do I attempt do the same following the heater duct along the outside wall?


Neither option looked very good so I decided to just look around while I was under there.


Here are your sink drain and vent lines. The water goes to the left and down to the grey water tank and the vent line goes up to the ceiling and then forward to connect to the shower vent line. There is then one penetration through the roof to vent the grey tank and both drain traps.


The floor boards were then replaced under the sink. The floor consists of two plywood sections. Slip the one in to your left and then just drop the other one in place.


By this point I had decided that it would be much better to place the new switch down low on on the slender section of wall between the door and the shower for two reasons. One, it would be the best spot for the switch and, secondly, it would be relatively easy to run the wires to and from the switch. This was confirmed by removing the inspection panel in the hall outside of the shower. This is what you see.


First, I fished a line down from the light swich opening and then forward. You can see the line here.


By pulling the drawer out that is under the refer, easy access was achieved to pass the line forward.
