1:34 I used to work on industrial power systems. You aren't really doing that properly? Correct on the dielectric grease, but a safety earth bond connection requires a bolt+star washer+nut (or welded bolt) connection to the chassis, then the earth crimp, then a star washer + locknut. The first star washer creates the solid earth connection. Combining this with a conduit P clip is inadvisable because it's just another fixture applying rotational vibration. Safety systems exist for a reason, they have one job, they are never combined with other systems because it always degrades safety. Yes in this application it's not an issue, but someone watching this may go on to touch something way more hazardous, and apply the same working methods to that system while not understanding why things are done in specific ways. There are still people who solder crimp connections for example. Congrats on actually using the correct crimp tool, almost nobody on RUclips gets that right 👍
At 1:17 flexible conduit should have tape underneath it. otherwise sand and road grit can work its way in and act like sand paper between the wire insulation and conduit. So you have three layers of protection to the copper stands... Going inner to outer... Layer 1: wire insulation Layer 2: anti abrasion tape Layer 3: conduit (i.e the corregated plastic tubing) Layer 4 (optional) overlap tape No need to redo, but that's oem automotive method.
I thought about putting conduit in but there’s no good way to rout it because the trailer has crossmembers in the way. If I were to drill them it would substantially weaken it
just got done with wiring my trailer. i used Deutsch DT connectors so that the next time i have to replace a light, i just crimp the wires from the lights and reuse the Deutsch plugs. also, disconnecting a light takes 2 seconds, and i don't need any tools to do it.
You have owned this trailer for a long long time and yet you haven't talked about the greatest problem of every trailer. BAD BEARING and bearing replacement/service/maintenance. I hope I've given enough fuel for your next series of clips that might be extremely useful to many.
@@hausplans Wow... As a poor owner of the trailer that hauls a boat, don't even ask me what is Bearing! Guess the reason for my frustration and your luck is one and the same and it has to be the salt in the water where mine goes in and out and yours never! Nevertheless please pay attention as I'm by no means a unique victim of bearing and in fact I know many times that when things went wrong, it really hurt the owner! Cheers and keep these coming.
Pretty helpful video, thanks. Not sure where all these effing people come off, with their harsh and judgy critique. Much more helpful to simply say: 'I might've done that a little differently...'
Hey guy help me out please. My dad hired some people to remove all the leaves from his 7 acre property and they turned out to be crackheads who took half his money and bounced but they left their trailer. It’s a weirdly modified boat trailer. I really want to build a pull behind room essentially. It’s only 8 feet I think. Could you do a video explaining how I would need to construct it and where to place the reinforcements?
Ive done this many times,easy.i need help now.either plugin connected to the truck (not the one going to the truck plugin),criss crossed wires or bulbs are bad.i cant make a connection.sos
Goood morning,which trailers is the best and size(gauge) 12,14,10. Please left me know I did my 16 ft trailer with 7 ways and my tail lights are poor and I instal side lithos and did not work,THOSE LIGTHS I INSTAL AT BATERY AND WORK PERFECT THE CABLE SIZE I USED IS 14 gauge and I am thing to do one more time but used 12 gauge. Please any point of view.please
I would've run the ground back to each light. Too many times, I've hooked up and no lights due to a coroded ground. Wired my 16ft up this way, and it's been solid for a year now.
Ya done f*cked up big time. You should've used a seven-pin setup. That way you could've installed back up lights which are a total game changer. Since it's pretty obvious you don't know what you're doing, you better hand that project of to The New Guy so he can redo it.

Not understanding some of these comments. I've seen tons of videos & this was concise & learned alot. So thx!!
Thanks

Good ideas! Good job! 👋🏻 👍🏻 👋🏻 👌🏻👋🏻

No joke, this trailer still has its original bearings. I’ve been waiting for them to go out for the past 10 years.😂

Never rip out the old wires though..... Use them to pull new ones thru
Good work dood
Appreciate it
I'm working on a snowmobile trailer for my project
Nice

Hi, where can I get the single to double wire connector ?
Amazon
why does no one show how to do the front connection? How long to dangle?

My trailer is a 6 x 12 and it works well for what I do
I’m surprised you were able to complete this being all jacked up on Mountain Dew
😂
I did an exact same thing and I still can't get the lights to work
Might be the electrical on your truck! I know I’ve had that issue with a few fords now
Check your ground wires three times. That’s all it took for me!
