I'm not a fan of switches or switch panel so I wanted to hide my switches out the way, so I fitted a bank of 4 on the left hand side fridge wall behind the driver's seat.
These were for fridge water pump light etc.... and 2 spare.
But I quickly moved these over to the cerbo GX,... And Done away with the fridge power switch as it can be turned off on its own panel ... That left me with just the water pump switch.
I fitted hidden switches for my lighting..
I have a 3way rocker (van/off/lb) switch on the B pillar for the main lights on the bottom of the bed board.
And I have a hidden switch up underneath the kitchen cabinet for those downlighters.
And a hidden switch on the back light pocket thing.
Apart from that I have the "USB battery powered Auto light" things that come on with movement same as
@Bigsidavies has.. which can be removed and thrown in the drawer when not needed.
So having said all of that this is my switch panel, I wanted to keep as much of the wood effect as possible without having it full up of switches that I didn't really need.
Fwiw .. I also looked at using Wi-Fi hidden switches that could be switched on and off by the app for example Shelley or Bluetooth switches or any of the above as I've got Wi-Fi in the van and these can be switched on and off remotely... I could do the same thing with a servo GX so didn't bother fit in them.
We also have twin high power USB charger sockets, these are 60 watt PD USB c with a USB A.... And I sticky magnet on the side that I can put my phone on.
The 240v power sockets was all pre-designed..(the inverter is switched on by a soft switch on the cerbo GX, you can also have a hard switch fitted if needed, which so far we don't need)
We wanted the coffee machine and kettle plugged in by the cerbo screen.. and also to be able to plug in the hair dryer etc.
But when the beds made the coffee machines in the middle of the bed so Lisa suggested having the coffee machine at the far left side so I added a double socket there as well, .. tucked in behind the driver's seat so it's hidden.
This actually works really well and how we're using 95% at a time the coffee machine sits in a try on an anti-slip mat, and just stays there..... then when we need power outside the van I just run an extension lead from the other point and then up and through the cracked drivers door window and out to the awning.
It works really well for us.
Aside from that I have a ehu point under the bonnet which leads to a double socket under the passenger seat where I can plug in my charger when needed.
And future plans I have an external ehu point to go underneath the back bumper which will come off of the inverter supply
And I have a flying twin socket under the sink that the microwave plugs into.
It's all detailed on my Dell massive campervan adventure thread.
The external RGB roof LEDs are permanently connected and switched on and off via the app, but when camping I just set a auto timer going.
I've also got USB chargers in the rear d pillars, which are leftover from when we had the ovano set up. I just left them in place, and they still work.
I also have a 12-v reading light at the top of the rear d pillar again left over from the ovano days..... And that has its own on and off switch on it.
....
We have a mini consumer unit that's connected to the inverter.... Which has twin rcbo's.... This is tucked into the side panel at the back of the cupboard. So to get to it you need to empty out the cupboard. ... So far the trip switches have never tripped out.. and to be fair they shouldn't ever trip out unless there is a fault or a problem, which so far there hasn't been.
