Electric Box
My next modification in my camper van was to route the electrical connections to the outside. I used some heavy 12 gauge extension cord wire to connect my kitchen unit to the outside. Then ran it to the back and built a box with a camper type flip-lid cover. It came in white only so I spray painted it with special spray paint for plastic and mounted it in a wood box that I built to fit the contour of the back bumper. I also ran a coaxial TV cable from the kitchen unit to the black box on the bumper also. Some private campgrounds do provide cable TV connections. I spray painted the wood box flat black to match the black of the bumper and mounted it with automotive body molding tape so no holes were drilled into the van. I added a piece of rubber stair tread to the top of the box as my finishing touch.

I added an outside electric box outlet to each side of the frame near the front of the vehicle for use with my rope lights, battery float charger, and window air conditioner that we occasionally use during summer camping.
