Rocky5000100's 7x12 Toy Hauler Build

Good eye- the details you can see if your not on a small cellphone screen.

[Rocky5000100]

Thanks. I have since rerouted them through the stress clamps to the right of that hole.

Hi guys,

I have all the AC hooked up I believe, except ground. That is where I'm a little unclear. Do I need to run a ground from the ground bar in the PD4045 to the frame of the trailer?


I also started running DC til I ran out of wire. The DC will run to a separate ground bar which I purchased, which then connects to the battery negative, right?

Yes, a/c ground from the grounding buss bar to the frame. d/c ground to the battery negative.

[Rocky5000100]

Perfect, thanks! I may be able to test it today if I can find a power cord.

-Got the wiring mostly done. I just need to run a ground for the AC power. I'm also waiting on my twist lock power cable to show up.
-Sealed up the holes in my battery box
-Used shims to make the lower cabinet flush against the wall,and screwed it to the wall, so the countertop will then be flush against it.
-Installed my Pit Bull trailer restraint. For those who don't know what that is, it's a strapless motorcycle hold-down system. It's pretty much the best thing ever. I've had it for 2 years and I will never use straps again.

Guess what guys...I HAVE POWER! WOOOO!!!! And it all worked on the first try too! I didn't have to do anything except plug it in. I tested all the outlets. Also, my DC is working too! I have the lights working and the water pump.
I installed a rocker switch to turn off the water pump. I also sealed the battery box and vented it to the outside.

I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my chest. I was dreading something not working, but I guess months of research on this site really helped!



Charging at 14.39! Perfect!



The wires and the whole inside will be tidied up.

Here is a pic of the strip leds. It isn't as bright as I thought, but it's really simple to add more. I'm going to add 2 more strips to the right and left of this one.



I also got the countertop cut today and test fit it. I haven't screwed it in yet so I can easily work on the plumbing.


Got some of the plumbing done today:

Where did you get your plumbing fittings?

[Rocky5000100]

Where did you get your plumbing fittings?

Menards plumbing section. They are plastic PEX fittings. 1/2" thread to 1/2" tube. Here's a pic, the one in the middle.

Thanks! I wish they had a menards in VA. I'm originally from Ohio and I know menards always has better deals and prices then lowes or homedepot.

Nice job!

[Rocky5000100]

Got the sink in today and finished up the plumbing! I went with the straight pvc pipe into the tank because it would have been very hard to find a flexible water drain solution. The cabinet is going to get a nice thorough vacuuming tomorrow.

I do see one issue with your battery vent. Sulfuric acid fumes are heavier than air so your vent should be at the bottom of the battery box and vent down.

[bdosborn]

No he's got it right. You're trying to vent the explosive hydrogen gas, which is lighter than air.

You could also use this inline valve for your sink.
