This is the best solution for a dash cam

 

Thanks for the breaking it down/ the advice/providing other sources/help everybody! Much appreciated! I totally came to the right place!

 

Yeah it is deceiving a #10 is good from 30 amps but how much of that stuff are you going to run at the same time? LED's draw very little current compared to incandescent lamps by a factor of 10. Have a look at your truck fuse panel what is it run by? you guessed it a #10.

 

If you're interested, set up a "deal alert" on slickdeals for it so they send you an email when it goes on sale. Every couple of months they have a "one day only" sale where they put it at about half off.
The last one was yesterday (it's what prompted me to post this thread).

 

In my world, the load centers that I build have to be capable of a Full Load Start. I know that logic doesn't really apply to DC automotive world. But I'm still going to get as close as feasible.

 

Thank You

 

Yep, still in the valley, you are AWESOME!
Actually, since you have experience with the BestBuy installs, I already have a question, haha! I was originally thinking of doing the lights/cam first, and then scheduling Best buy to do the install. Do you think I should instead have them do their install first (so there's less for them to touch) and THEN do my thing?

 

I’d do the lights, cam first and then let them do their thing. That way you’re not trying to work around their stuff and potentially moving something you shouldn’t.
