Favorite wire and crimp ends?

[chrisstratton]

I just purchased a van and wish to run the wiring first, before insulating, etc. I think I'll use glue on guides to center the wires, then cover with spray foam.

That being said - does anyone have a favorite 14guage 2 wire, and favorite crimp ends? I'm thinking to use blade style to prewire, then put up the walls.

Been wondering this myself but learned to buy an actual hand crimper like this as they crimp so much better than the strippers that have spots to crimp.

My default for van use are panduit non insulated 10 awg terminals with heat shrink that has the hot melt inside.

For heavier wires I tend to fab up a test piece with 10 awg and then have them built by a supplier. ( in my case - there is a really good supplier in KY that can make the heavy wires better, faster and cheaper than I can)
