I'm on my 3th CTC (over 10 years) back when we called them race trailer with living features. Your designs and concept are ingenious. I working on my 4th build, a bit of off road capable. plan on using some your ideas. Thank you for sharing your get build.
Be EXTREMELY cautious about buying 'used' solar panels - typically the used ones on the market were removed because they were failing. Panels that are internally degrading can become a fire hazard; I've seen them catch fire on people's roofs! My company is getting ready to pull 82 panels off a home because they have moisture ingress and are failing Megger testing. He had the system installed in 2013, so they are still under warranty but are clearly a fire hazard. To the untrained eye, the panels look great! To the experienced, they showed signs of internal corrosion on the busbars, snail trails, and evidence of premature back sheet failure. We will tear them all off, give to a junkyard, and warn them not to resell. If you are buying used solar panels, insist that each panel has a "wet" insulation resistance test performed on each panel (ideally with results >500MOhm), i.e. an insulation resistance test done after the panel is sprayed with water top and bottom. It is often not worth the hassle and lack of warranty considering new panels are so inexpensive.
Did you make a video of the Bed install , Have been watching all your vid`s very Smart Built .. Just amazing. Thanks Randy and Shelly. Ttyl,, ,Marlon and Puppies. Thank you so much for sharing this. alittle bit of Tim The Tool Time "cool" closest/dresser cool. Bed is also Smart Working. And Fire Place Way Cool. 5*s Tour Smart People do Smart Life..it`s easy to train the Puppies to protect each Other. they can not get hurt that way like kid`s.
Just saw a video on another Chanel of a tour of your finished trailer. GREAT job. I was really impressed with your raising bed. Can you share the spring mechanism you used to assist the lift?
According to the spec sheet, they are 61.4" x 31.4" x 1.8". They weigh 33 lbs each. The Sun power model # is SPR-230-WHT-U if it helps. We bought them used.
This is better than watching a football game or shoveling out from 24” from our blizzard here on Long Island!🥶🌞

You lost me right at the start watching you drilling through your roof. I cried a little.
Yea, putting holes in the trailer was definitely a nerve-wracking moment for sure!

We don't have a video on the bed just quite yet, but coming soon! 😊
8 is a good start
We ended up finishing in 8 months, also knowing the build is never done. 😉

Hey, thanks! The next video on our channel will be all about the elevator bed system. Stay tuned. 😉
Where did you buy the bed hardware?
Hi! There were several places we bought hardware for the bed. We will be putting a video out about the elevator bed system shortly.
are you drinking a gallon of milk up on the hot roof? lol
Haha, it's water, in a milk container.
did you say 4 to 5-month build ???
Haha, yea, our original goal was 3-4 months.
What is the l x w x h and weight of those panels
According to the spec sheet, they are 61.4" x 31.4" x 1.8". They weigh 33 lbs each. The Sun power model # is SPR-230-WHT-U if it helps. We bought them used.
Thanks 🙏
What 3D software program did you utilize to plan the panels on the roof?
@@OldExodus I’m going to get something when I’m ready
What do you just
