Wiring A Tear

[Classic Finn]

Has anyone here routed out a groove on the outside of the walls to run elctrical wiring through before skinning?

Well Gday Mate.. Ok your picked How are you Paul? Long time no see.

The reason I ask is that Id like to do so on the Kits except I dont know exactly where to begin to do so..

Paul or anyone, if you or anyone have pics Id sure love to see them to get some ideas.

For some reason or another Bubbas Garage, Lindner did this .. just cant remember for certain.

Aha so I thought it looked thinner than 20mm Ive been thinking along the lines of 17mm or thinner but again have to be careful with the router so not to go too deep if ya know what I mean Ive got a freind of mine here that says to go with the sandwich build since it will be lighter and he could do the wiring areas at the same time. Ive got alufibre ordered as well instead of the aluminum or Ive also got 0.06mm stainless here which is real nice for the outer roof and or sides. But I need to get the elctrical groove done before that..

Ive got some nice looking classic lighting for the Kit also which will look quite impressive. I,ll take a couple of pics for you shortly.

Heikki, That pic is part of my No5 build. The wiring on this one is actually on the inside. The glue is for the veneer that I place over it. Same principle for the outside but you use aluminium.

Youve been a busy man Paul at number 5 Thank you for the info

[PaulC]

I bury my wires on the inside in 2 inches of foam extruded insultaion. I have like 3 inch thick walls on my teardrop. Slowcowboy. you live in wyoming heat is more of use to you on a teardrop in the summer than airconsdioning or a just plywood for walls on a teardrop.

The R rating (insulating efficiency) of 17mm plywood is better than, or at least equal to, your ridiculously thick walls, Slowcowboy.

HUH ?

17 mm [5/8] plywood has an R value of .78

a sandwiched wall with 1/2 ply each side and 2" of foam is 8.14 according to this info.

http://www.sizes.com/units/rvalue.htm

Ridiculious is in the mind of someone who may not fully understand -17 degrees.

Our winter/summer barn has OVER 2" of insulation in our riduclious walls and somewhere
in that foam we found a path for the 12-3 romax I used in the build.



These 2 1/4 cavities were filled with 3/4 blue foam



Floor has 3/4" of foam under a finished floor and here is a shot of the side walls insulated and ready for paneling.
