Ground wire is a great technique but you should protect wires with wire loom or conduit. Don’t need full conduit. Even open end straight runs provide drainage and protection.

it's quite ridiculous, just because you cut a hole at an angle it doesn't mean the air will flow at that angle! Round holes cut with a stepped hole drill will do just as well, air gets sucked in the same way whatever shape the hole, even square and triangular. A boat builder here in England showed me 40 years ago how to burn waste, sawdust in particular and sawdust isn't the most combustible of product unless you know how, his barrel only had one 6 inch hole in the bottom and the barrel stood on 4 house bricks. I'm not giving away the sawdust method, it's so simple but roars like a jet engine! It's quite laughable looking at all the hard work some of you put into making one when all you need is one hole and 4 bricks....

i wanted so bad to see someone as anal as me in modifying a cheapo trailer into a rolls royce of trailers.... i was horrified almost immediately... first and foremost... FLIP FLOPS? REALLY? just smash your toes with a hammer and cut out the middleman. your wiring and attachment leaves much room for improvement, use some wire loom for a more professional look as well as protecting the wires. cuts down on the ability of chafing. spare tire under the bed? i bet thats great on a snowy or rainy day. lighting? LED LED LED. replace those terrible HF tail lights with 4 to 10 inch slim line stop tail turn mounted on the rear beam... removes the chance of smashing your leg and bending the bracket as well. marker lights front and rear.. top of fenders too.... LED LED LED. how about adding some ''e'' track and or eyelets? NOW... IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PIMP YOUR RIDE... add some under deck colored LED lighting. visibility.... 3M vinyl reflective tape... for the added HEY WATCH OUT for me look. next... and this is a just in case one... a old GM scissor jack and lug wrench for tire changes. next a nose box... old plastic milk crates are great for straps and that scissor jack. these are just a few of my improvements... im working on others... didnt mean to be a jerk... BUT SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY and overkill to make yours the best and be the best

Switch lights don’t use neutrals. Time stamp 21:22 where you connected a neutral to a switch. Im sorry my friend but there are no neutrals on switch lights, you just leave those alone and tuck it in the box. I understand you are re identifying the white as hot because that’s what the electrician used, that part is correct but the other wire is wrong. Just unscrew the neutral and tuck it back in the box and pigtail the other black wire to the switch.
@armedanddangerousdiy6096
@armedanddangerousdiy6096 2 ай бұрын
I appreciate the comment, and you’re right that standard two-way switches do not use a neutral. However, in this particular example, the white wire was one of the travelers for a three-way switch. The set up with the occupancy sensor is unusual and that it’s not wired in the way that a standard three-way is.

I’m curious with all the mods you’ve done, why not get some slim LED oval taillights that bolt right on the back frame? Nothing would sticking out anymore so they’d be nothing getting knocked around all the time…
@armedanddangerousdiy6096
@armedanddangerousdiy6096 3 ай бұрын
That’s a good idea. The main reason is I can’t put a hole bigger than 1/2” in the frame without compromising the integrity strength wise. If the taillight hung down it would interfere with the tilt function. It’s why the license plate folds up. You have me thinking now though. Expect a video in three months implementing a version of your idea. Thanks!
