Adding power outlets to the bed?

6AWG from battery to the bed, with a BlueSea 60A circuit breaker at the battery.
From there, it goes to the Renogy DC-DC Charger w/ MPPT. A 14awg wire goes from the Renogy charger back to the hood, where it is joint to the LP9 background light that is set to automatically turn on with IGN on via Switch-Pros 9100. The Renogy charges the 100AH LiFEPO4 in the battery box, as well as trickle charges the starting battery when the truck is off via 2x 200w Bouge RV Yuma Solar Panels.

I got 5 switched outputs, controlled via a cheap chinese Nilight switch system. Reason is if the switch goes, I can bypass the switch and simply reroute the power to the always on fuse block. That'd only take like 30 seconds to do. And yes, Nilight and my system built with BlueSea components are still far more superior and reliable than those Auxbeam junk.

Impressive system, wouldn't work long in my truck and how and were it gets used.

with an open bed the only thing i'd be worried about is gettign them stolen lol
else everything else is pretty weatherproof and can handle most things... unless you're welding with it then definitely not gonna happen.
we threw an inverter on it once just for laughs and giggles and it ran hairdryers and even full on household microwave just fine hahaha
