$1600 or anything close to that is crazy! It’ll take more than 2 hours! Nevertheless, it’s worth saving money where we can! Be safe and use jack stands!

​@endlessmilesrider6756 That's Colorado for you. Real expensive for no reason. If we were back in Illinois. Then I would have had it all done for nothing. Because my father is a mechanic. But, I don't see it all being more than a 2 hour job because I use an impact wrench so that takes the bolts off fast. And to pull the clips out they should just pop out like you said with a pick and the tubes should not be too hard. And my oil cooler line is right next to my filter in the open. I stick my head under there I can see it. I don't have mud flaps or a bar going across mine. It's all open access. And then the pan itself will be easy. And then the VVT solenoid is fast

@@livesinshadow4386 - nothing special. L brackets from Lowe’s.

The Simpson Strong Tie DJT14Z Deck Joist Tie is a stronger alternative to nailing for deck joists. It is made with 14 gauge Z-max galvanized steel and can be installed with eight 16d nails or 2-5/8 inch bolts. It can be used with a 2 x 4 joist and a 4x 4 post minimum.

@ thanks! 🙏

Some things are hard to let go when it’s still functional. 😂

@@PhillipPawelski - awesome! Thanks!

Thanks! 🤙🏼

Sucked for that moment, but all good as I properly trouble shooted, replaced the battery, and continued with the AdVenture Ride! 🤙🏼

Thanks! 🤙🏼

Sounds like maybe you’re not getting enough water pressure? If that’s the case, then it could be your water heater being clogged with many years of mineral deposits. Water heaters should be drained at least once per year or whatever the manufacturer recommends. The water valve has little to no impact on the pressure into the house when fully opened. The city/private company controls the water pressure as they have to meet minimum water pressure distribution to ensure safe drinking water from external pressure pushing contaminants through broken pipes. .

Good luck! Thanks!

Tough to tell without pictures/video. Buy an endoscope that attaches to the phone. Only about $30, but comes in handy to see things in tight spaces. Mine has a long reach to view. Good luck!

An 8’ x 16’ Continental. They could’ve done a better job with sealing all the way around, particularly the underside.

Thanks 👍

I’ve completed the linear actuator work, but I’ve considerably slowed down on any more fine refinements n the conversion due to weather and being recruited back to working in the corporate world taking on a mgt. position. I’ll get back on it on weekends and when weather gets better! Thanks!

Yup! I just a new panel lying around. So, I put it to use versus buying another smaller one.

About 9’2’.

Great idea!

@@WallyZ1950 - there’s enough space for the hood to open. But, you have a good idea! I guess could make the hatch with a stopper so that it can’t be stepped on and crack/crush the Maxxfan plastic hood. Then cover the hood with protective film to protect it when raising the hood to lift up the hatch.

Crazy stuff!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you!

It should stop at the upper end of the actuator, but I haven’t pushed it and tried it yet.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Greetings!

Thanks! Currently I only have 400 watt (4 - 100 watt PV panels).

24 volts is useless in small systems.. As everything is 12volts. Why I wish people would get an education in Electrical Theory..At least get a Commercial Electrical License...

Thanks! I just learned that and hooked it up in parallel as my inverter is only 12v.

Almost! Just hooking up my 12volt electrical system.

Glad to hear their batteries are working great for you! I hope that I have the same experience!

Thanks! Only one speed. Probably a good reason so as not to damage the motor or the mount.

At this time, no shore connection. But, maybe later to fill up the water jericans.

No.

Thanks for your input! If the panels are side wall mounted, a better chance of getting damaged by flying rocks, accidental bumps by others, and perhaps more appealing to thefts? When screwing and drilling on roofs of cargo trailers (and homes), we just need to make sure to carefully penetrate as straight as possible without making the hole bigger. And thorough sealing of the penetration (top and sides of the exposed screws). Use of butyl rubber (tape) on the surface (roof) of the trailer where the self tapping screw will penetrate. Then I’ll follow up caulking using DynaFlex 230 around gaps near the screws to create an air tight seal. I’ll caulk over the screws too to encapsulate. I’ll now and then do inspections initially and then do a quarterly inspection to ensure the integrity of the install and caulking.

@@endlessmilesrider6756 no, I would put solar on the roof on a rack, but the rack would be mounted on the sides of the trailer. I see them do it for all the ladder racks. Cheers

Awesome! I will share what I’ve learned researching across RUclips. I’m taking little bits here and there of what others have done and making it better, including my own original stuff where I can. I’ll be carrying two big bikes in my trailer. An Indian Chieftain and a BMW R1250 GSA. And maybe even a Vespa.

I bought two Maxxair fans to install. Thanks!

I’m not aware. I’ve installed Reflectix insulation on top of the 1/4” plywood which is over the foam board insulation.

Kewl!

@@endlessmilesrider6756- Being a newbie, I scoured hundreds of youtube videos for ideas and how-to's on everything... Arrange your murphybeds, cabinets, layout BEFORE cutting windows... I screwed up, put in windows 1st and then had to work around my mistake.

@@johnw65 - me too! Picking the best of the best and doing it my way.

@@endlessmilesrider6756 Have fun, I know I did...

@@johnw65 Thanks!
