I have a little day trip over Medano Pass to the Sand Dunes coming up with a few friends which was the motivation I needed to wire up 12V power in the back of the Burb for the National Luna refrigerator borrowed from the Phoenix camper on the K10. I've gotten spoiled having cold pop and food in the K10 so I had to make accommodations for the fridge in the Suburban too because you know, you can't go on a day trip without cold pop.
You would think stringing 12V power to the back of the Burb would be a short project….nope, not at this garage. 3 night's worth of project :snorkel:
I am a junction block junkie! I love these junction blocks GM used on the firewall of 73-91 square body trucks as they are so useful to use everywhere. I added one of these junction blocks to the RH fender to carry the power to the rear of the burb. For this location I removed the cross bar and added a fuse.
Pinch mount stand-off bracket just forward of the RH wheel well as the power lead goes up into the cargo area. All the wiring is 10 gauge wire slid inside 7/32 vacuum hose. I like to run single power leads inside vacuum hose for added chaff protection.
Gave the pass through a good soaking of undercoating
Added another junction block in the right rear quarter panel just forward of the wheel well. I was able to gain access to this spot by way of a speaker hole. It was a tight hole to conduct business!
All that work for 3 damn sockets!
Hella plug for the National Luna refrigerator, 2 port USB outlet and regular 12V outlet
Also added some tied downs to the floor while I was at it. Can't have that refrigerator bouncing around bonking people on the head
With that, I think we can properly go on a day trip now once I borrow the tires and wheels off the K10 as well.
