Our build plan

[tony.latham]

I have a question about solar. Should I be seeing any charge at all with the lights in my shop or is that not enough?

It’s not enough.

I bought a closed cell foam kit and foamed the bottom of my trailer. What a mess I made. That stuff sticks to skin real well.

I probably have enough foam left to do the bottom of a teardrop if somebody wants to come get it. West central Alabama…

I Updated the light’s in my shop with led UFO’s & they do show a charge.
If the light’s are high up, and you need to swap a ballast, that’s when I swapped from 8’ers
Step stool on top of my trailer!

I think what you are seeing is an increase in voltage but the amp output is so low it would be a challenge to to measure.

Or so I believe.

Voltage increases and your correct not enough to do dittly.
But when we are in and the lites are on +
I know it works a tiny bit! Not enough to try to measure yet.
My list gets longer not shorter, something about retirement I guess

[nsfr1206]

I think my list is getting shorter. On the trailer anyway. Sealed my windows and doors etc today. Wired in light switches for exterior and main interior lights too. We have a local trip planned for November 4 so gotta get it mostly done anyway. Mattress and beddy are being delivered today also.

I have a tongue scale and it’s showing around 650 lbs when I checked it yesterday. I hope that’s more than 10%.

I hope Everthing near the chains is approved for that weight.

A new bed is second on my list

[nsfr1206]

It’s a 7,000 lb gvwr trailer so probably going to be ok…

I need to go find a scale and roll across and see what the trailer itself weighs

Put a bunch of my slat ceiling up. Getting closer. Need to run over to Houston (around 8.5 hours) to pick up the doors and drawers from my uncle. He builds cabinets and I didn’t want to have to build the doors so… I will probably go over next weekend. I should have almost everything inside trailer completed other than that by then. My blinds may not be here by then yet.

nsfr1206, Howdy;

Any truck stop you pull into to refill the gas/fuel tank should have a scale you can weigh the whole rig on.
Get the hitch over the space between the front section and middle section and separate the trailer and
you can get a separate trailer only weight. Be sure you talk to the scale operator first to see if it's Okay to
do they may be going through a busy time and not be able to "work ya in".

Thanks Hank. There is one around 25 miles or so from here I can go weigh on.
