Question Aux Wiring Help

I am planning on adding a Viair constant duty onboard air system and a Pacbrake and wanted some help to simplify the wiring. I presently have 4 off road and 2 back-up lights installed thru 3 relays that are connected directly to the battery. I know the compressor will also be wired to the battery.

I would like to be able to have only one wire running to the battery. Do I need to install a power distribution block to do this? I would also like to add an auxiliary fuse block (Painless or something similar) to run power to the switches so that I don't have to tap into an existing ignition source. I used a fuse tap to run power for my light switches and would like to change this. I want to be able to add other accessories in the future.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. A wiring diagram would also be helpful since I'm not that electrically inclined.

I just posted a wiring diagram, but it needs to be approved...Probably tomorrow. I'll post the link when it is approved.

Thanks, Chris. I'll give you a call. By the way, you installed my Ravelco.
