<==========king of cheap, I cleared out a closing library of about 30 power supplies, they work well on the bench as testers and great in the campers.
I use one larger one for the motor driven parts and one for lighting, etc, I can flip a switch and run them all off just the larger one as well if I haven't turned on everything at the same time.

pirate a power supply from an old desktop computer, now I have more than enough power for the stock goodies and extras..no cost and take up less space.

Very good advise!!!

Props go out to you for thinking outside the box..

Ok I am rebuilding the electrical now and on this camper there are the seperate ac and dc with the dc being a battery no converter.I have installed all new outlets ceiling lights and breakers.All ac systems are working great now except the range hood.I am wondering could it be that the vent a hood is dc power? If not guess it may be time for a new range hood.the battery system is in a bad way and I may just disconnect it as the old glass fuse type systems make me nervous anyway and I dont plan to dry camp.

Is this TT going to be towed anywhere?
If so then you need a 12 volt battery for the breakaway switch on the trailer brakes. This is the law in most if not all jurisdictions, and a good idea reguardless.
If you are needing a battery for towing anyway, then you wouldn't need to convert the appliances over.
