Could you do a video on adding a USB outlet and a 12 volt outlet?

@loriw2661 3 года назад

That was explained very well. My brother is a Master electrician and I’ve wired tons of outlets and receptacles with him over the years. Your explanation and technique was perfect.

Umm, Romex must be protected! It's not rated to be exposed to physical damage. I'm pretty sure the low voltage wire cover you showed is not approved for that. MC cable would be just as easy and fully code compliant. You might also consult a master electrician on your wire nut technique. There's a lot more to wirenuts than twisting!

I was hoping that maybe you or someone in the comments would be able to help me out with figuring out how to wire up a solar power system into a pre-existing system, for example my water pump and lights all run on the electrical already set in the rv, and I would like to transfer those onto my new solar (batteries) power system, if you or anyone can help me figure this out I would very much appreciate it.

So my CO2 detector has a black and white, hot and neutral I presume. However when I put my tap tester to it it doesn't indicate that it's hot. Is this a low voltage issue?

@virtuuous6672 Год назад

Hello, I've recently started living in my rv full time and am frustrated with the lack of outlets. I have an idea of replacing one of the light fixtures with an outlet, so that I can have an outlet in a more convenient place near the couch to charge devices. I understand that the light is 12V so I can't plug anything into it that draws too much power. But would this be possible?

@EarlBalentine

I have one of those 15amp quick connect outlets that was cracked and I tried to replace it but could not get the back of receptacle back on. I finally gave up. Now I'm looking for a blue shallow box to use a regular household receptacle. I got the receptacle but not the box. The boxes are too deep and I don't have space in the ceiling. There's like may 2 to 2.5" depth in the ceiling. MY receptacle has 2 romex wires going to it. The wall out let is in the middle of a circuit. Where can you find these shallow boxes?

Where was the GFI?

@SawmonandNatalie 3 года назад

Shouldn’t we use stranded copper wires instead of solid ones in travel trailers and motorhomes ?

@alankawaratani1677 3 года назад

what you call cut in box the Real Name is (Old Job box or old work box) some box store may not know what you are take about (call it cut boxes) As electrician school in that romex is one wire in and wire out is One wire if second wire in is two wire. pigtail wire is one 2020 NEC code you only hook two on one side of receptacle I may look it up may change One wire hook to receptacle and pigtail wire is the same as the wire coming to box. Why only two wire two one side the jumper metal in receptacle was over heat jump Next time run romex in blue conduit . Keep you safe

I like the way you dry fit to show us a simpler explanation of what goes where. Thanks

@tomcooper920 3 года назад

I'm impressed how well you know the code. You were dead on with what you were teaching.

@bajaking9 3 года назад

I like these how to videos you make when you actually walk us through the install. You're so knowledgable, but i've been finding myself lost when I listen do your videos without seeing you actually install. Thanks for making this video.

@mondavou9408 3 года назад

I like your videos and have been watching and liking for years. I always know I'm going to get quality info. This one was especially good for me. I'm a do it yourself kind of guy with one exception, I don't do electrical (too much to know and the mistakes carry too much risk) That said, you sure made it look easy and thanks for the info on the boxes, I didn't know they had different capacity ratings. Also, plus one for liking the table top wiring example - that is how I think and picture it in my mind so it's really nice to have the clean confirmation. That's it! Safe and fulfilling travels to you. Cheers!

Nice to see someone knowing their stuff. Thanks for the tips!

@preachers4135 3 года назад

Excellent! Details are spot on and make all the difference.

@robertgilliam7668 3 года назад

I have a small RV and I am lucky enough to have outlets where I need them. Thanks for the tips in case that changes.

LOVE Jared's channel. I've learned so much from him.

@NormRidg 3 года назад

Thank you. Great to see. Did something similar in our kitchen/living. Everything was on one 15 amp breaker which made running toaster, microwave, and coffeemaker together and issue. I didn't think about adding a breaker, but I took over the breaker going to the washer/dryer combo which we don't use. I need to go back and see if I can do that double slim design if I need the breaker space in the future.
