I bought a rotary disconnect as part of the van's electrical equipment. Its large physical control is a different kind of component from the small cable fittings and splices shown in my roof-wiring photographs.

Where it fits my build
I brought the roof light wires and camera cables into a PVC conduit layout. That work included drilled enclosures, threaded fittings, cable glands, solder-seal splices and grouped wiring.
During the small-box stage, I drilled for a male PVC fitting and used a fitting inside as a retaining nut. I routed the camera cable through a gland into a tee and brought the light-wire groups toward the van entry.

My build notes
The wiring project was a sequence of individual connections and routes. The photographs show the intermediate stages, including open boxes and wrapped wire groups, before the remaining covers and conduit joints were finished.
I built the cable route a section at a time, bringing local connections into the larger conduit system.
