I bought Square D Homeline Six-Space Load Center as part of my camper van equipment.
The load center belongs to my purchased electrical equipment, a layout task that sits alongside the early decisions about the van's interior space.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.

The other Homeline enclosure uses a surface-mount cover. Siemens offers a four-space, eight-circuit enclosure from a different breaker family.

This indoor Homeline load center provides six spaces and a twelve-circuit designation. Its cover is arranged for a surface-mounted enclosure.
