So I have been working on Club member's coach sorting out some electrical issues. One was the spaghetti of power wires going to his add-on gauges panel. Most of the wires were power and back-lighting power wires for his add-on gauges, noting real high current. The wires were just tapped into existing wires over the years, you all know how that happens.
So I thought, why not Wago connectors? They come in 2,3,5 and 10 position connectors (i could only source 1,3 & 5 position locally off the shelf). The standard size accepts wire from 12 to 22 AWG. Each wire can be added or removed without disturbing the others. They are IEC rated for 32A and UL for 20A total per connector block. A pack of ten 5 conductor connectors works out to about $1. each retail.
So far they have worked out great. I can easily remove, change or add wires as I go along. Of course I am only using them internally to the coach as they are not water proof. On the 5 position connector there is a nice flat area on the opposite side of the levers where I can add a label (Batt 12V+, Ground, Ignition, Accessory, etc).

This bad boy can handle up to 10 separate wires. I need to order a couple to try out.
