Nice refurbish I like the look of the wider boards on the outside, I used old motor oil to stain mine worked well plus free, if you use diesel oil it gives it a nice dark stain finish
Looks great, only thing id change is the safety chain quick links. They have a very low weight rating (probably 3500# or less each) and wont safely control the trailer if loaded to the trailer limit in an emergency. A shackle in that position would handle a much larger load. Otherwise great looking trailer and nice video.
There's two different wiring color diagrams for RV 7 pin and trailer 7 pin. It's a screwed up system and a piss off every time you try and color match. There's no standard, some RVs use trailer color code and some trailers use RV color code.
Those junction boxes are designed for seven round. Typically semi trailers with AirBrakes are the only things that use that. That’s why the colors don’t match the functions that are labeled in those boxes.
Nice job, only thing I noticed is those connecting links you used on the safety chains are not rated for high loads, I would replace them with something stronger.
We have gone to running carriage bolts through the decking next to the frame member and using a hd fender washer to grab the lip of the frame...no frame drilling required and you can use an impact.
Great work man, excited to join in on the channel early and see you grow. Trailer looks fantastic! My only advice would be to slow down your time lapses just a tad and mix in some more talking points during those like “Okay we’re about to paint … time lapse … okay painting is going well etc… time lapse.. I think that would help a lot. Good work man!
There is a kit that is available powered by a 12 volt dc motor that will wind your jack up and down and is relatively easy to mount ! CT3 added one to his equipment trailer and was pleased with it's operation !
This does not help you since you have fixed the wiring. But there is a difference between trailer wring and RV wiring. A lot of those junction boxes are wired RV style...
Helping my brother redo his 26 ft car hauler soon we are thinking of using expanded metal for the deck .. probably more expensive but will last longer and easier to keep clean .. Thoughts anyone ?
I was liking it till 8 saw yo7 only installed 1 carriage bolt per board, probably gonna see some cupping in the future. 2 per board would’ve been better. Great video tho
