I bought a new car stereo and want to wire it up with 2 speakers and power it with a generator. What materials will I need and how do I go about hooking it all up? BTW, The trailer camper does not have any previous sound system wiring in place, just electrical wiring.
 
If the camper is set up with 12 volt lighting (most of them are) then it should be as simple as bringing leads from the source, usually a transformer or deep cycle batteries to your stereo. If your camper doesnt have any low voltage lighting you will need a transformer to drop the voltage to 12 volts. Be sure to use an in line fuse on your positive side, most car radios use 10 amps.
