Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of converting my catering trailer to run fully on batteries and could use some advice on how to set up the electrical system. I've done some research and believe it should be achievable given my low amp-hour needs, but I need guidance on how the system will come together.
Here's what I plan to run:
I'm planning to get advice from a qualified electrician, but in the meantime, I'd like to run cables to lights, sockets, etc., from where would be an inverter and batteries so I can start framing the inside out.
Any tips or advice on the wiring, inverter, and battery setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's what I plan to run:
- 6 12V spotlamps inside the trailer
- 12V water pump
- 150W toppings fridge
- 3000W hot water tap (used only to wash hands)
- Future additions: Actuator and LED sign on the roof
