 Blue Sea Systems ST Blade Fuse Block -- $42


    This was confusing, but I think my usage is low enough that I won't have to worry about burning down the van.  I doubt any of my devices could heat up wires or fuses much.


    You can probably skip everything I have to say about this topic and just watch this video:


Will Prouse:  DC Wire and Connectors


    Will is The Man.  Will knows.  In Will I trust.  Ha.  (True though.)


    I did not discover this video until I was a good bit into the Project, so I made a couple -- ok, a few -- missteps.  I bought solid wire, a spool of red and a spool of black.  I tried to connect those to the really thin (22AWG??) wire coming from the MaxxFan, and it was futile.
