Systems

Systems

The Systems section provides a complete overview of every major technical infrastructure in the CTC build.
Each system—electrical, plumbing, HVAC, propane, hot water, and supporting subsystems—has its own dedicated documentation set, including master plans, diagrams, routing strategies, and installation plans.
This page serves as the central hub for understanding how all systems work individually and how they interconnect to form a unified, functional build.


How the Systems Work Together

The CTC is designed like a small, efficient home. Each system is independent, but all of them interact:

  • Electrical powers pumps, fans, appliances, and HVAC equipment
  • Plumbing supplies fresh water and manages grey water
  • Hot Water System integrates with both plumbing and electrical/propane
  • HVAC requires electrical power and proper ventilation paths
  • Propane supports cooking and potentially hot water
  • Tanks store fresh and grey water and tie into plumbing and weight distribution

This Systems hub allows you to explore each subsystem in detail while keeping the big picture in view.


Electrical System

The electrical system powers all 12V and 120V components in the trailer.
It includes master plans, room‑specific wiring diagrams, and detailed load charts for every area.


HVAC System

The HVAC system uses a Blueridge mini‑split with multiple indoor air handlers and a single outdoor condenser.
This section includes ventilation plans for each room and the overall HVAC strategy.


Plumbing System

The plumbing system manages fresh water, hot water distribution, and grey water handling.
It includes diagrams for each area, side‑specific routing, and a full plumbing master plan.


Propane System

The propane system supports cooking and may support hot water depending on final heater selection.
This section includes routing diagrams, master plans, and area‑specific propane plans.


Hot Water System

The hot water system integrates with both the plumbing and electrical/propane systems.
This section documents heater selection, routing, and installation.


Supporting Systems

These systems provide essential reference data for planning, balancing, and maintaining the trailer.


How This Section Evolves

As the build progresses, the Systems section will expand with updated diagrams, installation photos, routing refinements, and new subsystem pages.
This page is designed to serve as the long‑term navigation hub for all technical systems in the trailer.
