I have been thinking about what is next for the camper. I kind of don't mind the interior unfinished but figure it is time. Generally speaking I am thinking of an L-shaped counter with drawers underneath and also having a sing with running water. I also need to figure out the electrical and plumbing. Anyone think of anything I am missing. Not necessarily what you would want on your build but anything missing that would be on 90% of peoples build.
So, for electrical I pulled together all my notes and have come up with this info. @Dave in AZ 's post at the link below has inspired my list so far.

12V and 120V Power Storage
12V Generation
12V Consumption
120V Generation (if required)
120V Consumption (never needed but nice to have)
Parts
12 and 120 outlets, power distribution blocks, fuses
Battery on/off switch
Power switches: lights, pump, heater, etc
I need to add up all the power usage for these items.
