@Taylordrifts Год назад

I have one I bought for my old trailer, I just don't like the idea of self taping/drilling for wires through the roof. it may be silly, but the idea has bothered me too much to put it on.

@mouse7669 Год назад

@@Taylordrifts Try some brackets off the side of the roof to mount solar panels (where sides and roof meet). It avoids the holes in roof leaking scenario, plus might be a little more stable.

@patonb Год назад

@@Taylordrifts You could always have them detachable so that you can just have them sit on the tongue of the trailer or other sunny place when in use.

@Not_Ferrari Год назад

@@Taylordrifts That's a valid concern. You could always add some plug in leads coming out of the trailer somewhere down low and just use the panel with some legs on the ground for a day if the battery is starting to get low (but then you have to worry about carrying it around somewhere in the trailer and it getting in the way).

@@Taylordrifts would also be a "free" way to keep your tool batteries topped up. Get one of the Milwaukee vehicle chargers and cut the end off and wire it to the batteries

You might want to add a little switch to the usb charger/voltage indicator! Help to prevent battery drain for when the trailer is parked in between events.

2 years with that trailer!?!?! Where does the time go! Enjoy watching the upgrades. Ramps are genius. Cool idea would be to put solar panels on the roof of the trailer with the appropriate solar maintainer to keep the batteries topped up. We use it on our boat dock and it is super helpful!

@MMORPG87 Год назад

just put a sprocket on the tube connecting the jacks, then make a mount for the motor. put a chain on it and let it rip. the closer u put the sprocket to the jack the less flex/binding youll end up with.

@JeffSlover Год назад

On the voltage meter, you may want to consider putting it on the other side of the breakers so that it is only on when they are on. I know that it only uses a tiny trickle, but over months it could drain you down some. The whole setup looks great, the "electric jack" you have to be careful with, I have jacked up my wrists before with drills that jump around like that, but it is a great "good enough" solution.

@budlvr Год назад

A couple of suggestions; 1. Trailer legs going down - hold the drill trigger in your left hand, brace against the rotation with your right. 2. A more powerful drill/battery combo (or a high torque corded drill) will last a lot longer with the force required on the jacks. Love the upgrades.

@drifty_jacob7 Год назад

Hey Taylor…Milwaukee tool lab technician here. Slap a high output battery in that drill and you’ll have substantially more sustained torque for raising your trailer. Those batteries are designed for long duration high load applications. As always, love your videos and thanks for the constant entertainment!

@Taylordrifts Год назад

I was wondering if a high output battery would help or not! Is there an updated stronger M18 drill? Mine is model number 2806-20

@mickfbr Год назад

You could potentially weld in a bridging section between the inside edge of the ramps so that you can lift them up and back simultaneously and you could add a bonnet pin type situation or something similar to the deck in order to retain the ramps when stowed?

@gcmikey-720 Год назад

One thing I really think you should do to your trailer is have the guys who wrapped the Corvette do a matching wrap for the trailer 👍. But on the other hand it does match the truck as it is. One upgrade I would do is a really good awning, unless it already has one.

@zacjenkins1258 Год назад

I meant to say this on the last video of the trailer remodeling, but I had a thought about the tire situation. Could you buy/build some slide out tracks that sit in the loft and find a way to place the tires in upright, you can slide it out and grab the tires when you need them and have them out of your way. Just a thought I had.

@MartinRodriguez-yr4gf Год назад

On my prior RV, I had a back up cam that was blue tooth to a separate screen. I took power from the clearance lights. amazing how nice it is to see behind you going down the road

@donrabun315 Год назад

One more addition that will give you more peace of mind when towing. Add 1 camera in the front and 1 in the rear of the trailer on the inside. You could check for movement on the inside. Also, even more important fire inside the trailer. A friend had cameras inside and caught a fire starting and saved his toys. Just a thought. Enjoy the video

@rcmike09 Год назад

I welded a nut to my jack on my bumper trailer and use an impact. But I'm always afraid the impacting will shear the rod. For yours, I'd find a way to have the drill index to the trailer so you don't have to "break your wrist"

@Paios Год назад

I love trailer history stories. When I was in a band in high school we bought a home made steel strap and wooden enclosed trailer for our gear. Thing was tall as hell and was built all the way on the other end of the country and used to haul suits of chain and plate mail to renaissance festivals. When we were done with it and sold it, we ended up selling it to a dude who was just buying it temporarily to move back out to the west coast so in the end it got to go back home! lol just weird lil trailer stories~

@JackoTJK Год назад

You could have put the motor in between the 2 jacks on the shaft. If you make a new pipe that is 1" ID with a 3/4" ID bushing you can also keep the old pipe to reverse the mod if you have/ want to

@leehubbard2591 Год назад

If I were to keep that trailer for a long time I would build raised ramps like a dirt car set up. No more tight fit and emergency oil change area

@YotaakGFX Год назад

As a truck driver I always wondered if a drill could raise / lower landing gear. Interesting to know!

@DJasha Год назад

I'm a tractor mechanic. One day we had a new guy disconnect a trailer from a downed to truck to do a swap. kid left the landing legs up and dropped a 53ft loaded trailer . Luckily it was only a few inches below the fifth wheel but we were still cracking for like 20 minutes not going to lie I thought about trying my impact gun to see what it would do 😂

@dustydavis1333 Год назад

If your trailer doesn't have it...there is a pin in the rv 7 flat from the truck to trailer plug (big center pin i belive) that you can add reverse lights that will come on when you put your truck in reverse...game changer I put them on my trailers never fails to not have a good spotter in the dark..

@metalmike8457 Год назад

Maybe some slide out trays for your storage area that way you don’t have to climb up there to get tires and boxes.

@Mark_vanR Год назад

Looks like your battery boxes might fit in behind the front panel where the jacks are located. That way you can save room inside the trailer.

@J10on4ds Год назад

@ArskaPolarbear Год назад

Next step ideas. Solar panels to roof for offgrid power. Relocate batteries and electronics to the Jack enclosure and add air compressor there too. Add bigger inverter for power tools and maybe a fridge. AC to the roof for those hot days. Awning over the side door side and led lights.

@sr972 Год назад

Instead of a drill use a 1/2" impact. Weld a old socket to that tool.

The stow away winch is good future upgrade. Also maybe a small generator to charge the batteries. Possibly hide it where the jacks are or tuck it up underneath with the fifth wheel is

@RAMOakleyRN Год назад

I’m surprised he didn’t put the batteries down there by the jacks too

@doorgoo Год назад

Hey Taylor, Renogy is a trusted brand BUT I would highly recommend just going with a solar generator setup! You’ll have plenty of 12v on most setups, and you’ll have an inverter for who knows what! Then when you install those solar panels (I recommend mounting to the sides with a bracket and then running the cabling to the front with a drip loop that then goes into the trailer) you’ll have tons of power available! Would make it more feasible to use for camping at track when necessary too. Either way, love it!

@Azinmark Год назад

For the jacks, I'm sure you could rig something up with a higher torque drill and a handle with more leverage, for the same cost as that system. Think how they used to start Indy/F1 cars with an external motor. Or something with a winch and a chain drive, but that would be way more involved.

@kylecummins814 Год назад

Make sure when doing dual batteries to have the negative and positive leads going from the batteries, have once come off each battery so they deplete at the same rate. Meaning have the negative come off battery A and positive come off battery B. This will distribute the load across both batteries at the same time.

@Poizdrc Год назад

For the power assist look at go cart engine starters.

@robertaitken9930 Год назад

Taylor, convert the tool you made to be driven by your 1/2” Rattle Gun instead of a drill. Works a treat on the legs on our caravan and you won’t break your wrist either

@GeekyDad84 Год назад

Trailer tire monitor is a must and only 2nd to good quality trailer tires. In regards to trailer tires, the 1 weakness of pressure/temp sensors are cheap tires that de-tread and usually don't loose air fast enough or heat up fast enough to trip the monitoring system before the damage is already done. Trailer King tires, aka china bombs, are notorious for this. Tire age is also something to really keep an eye on. Many trailer tires age out well before you wear the tread down like a passenger vehicle typical does. We got our first travel trailer about 4 years ago and made the investment in the TST 507 system. Such a great piece of mind. No more guessing or wondering if everything is good. Now, were towing double the weight with our 5th wheel and the sensors are still working great.

@garrettkrieger6867 Год назад

I think a better solution to the drill is the Milwaukee mud mixer, it’s basically just a high torque drill.

@ColbyJohnson Год назад

The drill method for the jacks is exactly how we used to move the jacks on an old Jayco camper we used to have. Works well!

@RandomName100 Год назад

One thing where I question your decisions. Why not mount the two batteries in the compartment for the jacks? Make a shelf at the top, and mount them there out of the way, and then make a nice protective/hiding panel over the electronics inside and you get more space and less obstruction.

@minesbetter3504 Год назад

Taylor always comes up with solutions to problems that many people don't even know existed. I love it.

@austinconstant7681 Год назад

Just a thought for an add-on. Put a couple of the lifting beds in that tuck up against the ceiling.

@thebigfut Год назад

If you add some marine solar panels to the roof, the inverters needed to use with the batteries come with an internal off/on isolation switch. So you could isolate the trailer from the batteries when not in use. Also, no matter when you go after the trailer it'd be ready for use. The only other thing that would make this better is getting some LiFePo batteries instead of using AGMs that have a fraction of the life.

@GaryM-1985 Год назад

A buddy of mine bought a cheap 1000lbs harbor freight winch took some bike sprockets a bike chain made a mount and used that for his trailer jacks. I think he spent less then 50 bucks. He had all the scrap laying around to build it. then just ran the controller out right under the overhang. in/out became up/down. Or you could pick up one of those heavy duty Milwaukee drills with the extra handle.

@Gearheadcentral Год назад

Love the upgrades. Thanks for getting some paint on those rear panels. I would definitely look at an option for solar. Like some others have said, you could use a portable solution and just hook them up at the track. This would keep your batteries topped up, and remove the leak risk. Some sailers use flexible panels that are bonded to the surface rather than screwed in. Then you could go through the side, or if the wires are thin enough, run a small conduct down the side, and run the wire under the goose neck area. It's not as sexy, but it makes it easier to keep the water out.

@ZafiraSteve Год назад

When repairing the inner arch. Change the shape of them to give more clearance

@garagegnomes Год назад

That drill setup worked pretty well...look into a Milwaukee Hole Hawg. It's a larger right angle drill, much easier to hold and it will hold up to that much better than the cordless drill. Since you already have the m18 batteries, it's a great tool to have

@AnIdiotwithaSubaru Год назад

Hey Taylor, have you considered getting something like an EcoFlow Delta pro? Its 3.6KWh, Lithium Iron Phosphate, outputs up to 3600w, can generate 1600w of solar, it can charge off of 12v (at a low rate), hooks up to a generator that can auto start-stop if the battery is low, and a ton of other stuff.The battery is good for over 10 years of charge cycles I feel like you never having to worry about electricity when you're out filming would probably be beneficial. Do be warned, its not cheap (and no i don't work for ecoflow) :p

@davidjohnson8474 Год назад

Im not gonna beat a dead horse but a solar panel would be the smart especially since it sits for long periods of time by the garage and its easy to leave something on!

No need to grind back before you put the rivets in. You just risk rippling stuff when you pull the rivets up. If you’re worried about them being flush then get some countersunk ones - with the warning that they pull through way more easily.

@rccrazy5556 Год назад

Jack system. Inside the compartment weld a sproket to the bar that turns with a chain across to a mounted 12v motor on a switch.

@PTRRanger951 Год назад

That thing is badass. I second the suggestion to add a switch to the USB/Voltmeter. It is a constant drain on the batteries. I would also suggest putting a strap on those slot rails at the very back to catch the ramps if the screw was to back out. Wouldn’t create any extra work with loading and unloading since you can string it across the back before closing the ramp. If one of those screws backed out, you don’t want to drop it and find out one of the ramps were smacking into the rear of the car.

@zacharieulmer1012 Год назад

If you can figure out a way to remote mount the bulldog motor you can make a shaft with a sprocket to go on the motor and weld one to the Jack shaft and use a chain off a street bike to connect.

The drill system works on the jacks but it will trash your drill pretty quickly. Been there done it. Just ended up putting electric jacks on the trailers and if we had done it that way the first time we would have saved money after buying 2 drills not including the original drill and then the electric jacks. However the system works fine with 2 stage geared jacks on lighter trailers.

@mikeanderson3334 Год назад

Does the landing gear have a 2 speed? Ours, if you pull the "T" that you turn, it goes to low speed, high torque, and if you push it it goes high speed low torque. We welded an 11mm socket on the end, so the crank still slides on, but we can stick a 3/8 drive in the drill into it and it will spin it down quick. And using the low speed, hi torque setting, it will move the trailer without killing your arm. That said, on ours we used a hydraulic in the center, and the mechanical landing gear on the sides. So it is quick and easy to lift and drop the trailer, then if it will be sitting for more than a few minutes, we set the landing gear.

@rickyekenlow Год назад

@jtanner8060 Год назад

The only opportunity I see is keeping those beefy batteries charged. Maybe a portable 100W or 200W panel you could put on the ground and adjust with the sun. Then it wouldn’t be a permanent fixture on the roof. I would do a plug receptacle on the side of the trailer that hooks to the battery. Then if you don’t have solar ability you could hook up a trickle charger using the same plug type.
