AC and DC tested! Front and back Beds ready for Cushions.

The camping mat served its purpose when guests arrived.  Martha Cunningham is fearlessly sewing the covers for the memory foam mattresses.   Guests help attach the storage covers to the bed frames using piano style hinges.  They work well!

Jack came over and successfully cut individual pieces of cedar for the front and back fascia.  Awesome.  After the ends are sealed, I'll attach them for a final photo.

Lastly, John worked confirmed the AC and DC circuits are working.  We learned that when you have a subpanel the ground and neutral wires are NOT suppose to be together as you would in a primary fuse box.  I'm happy to know we have lights when I get a battery ordered. The DC plan has been evolving.  Separating DC and AC eliminates an inverter and converter.  I have a Vector battery charger that will charge the battery when plugged shore power is available.  You do need to push the start button, so it isn't entirely automatic.  All lighting is DC. There are a few more outlets and switches to install and test. 

One battery should be sufficient.  I am buying an Optima #8052-161 BlueTop Deep Cycle Marine Battery with 75 Amp hours.
