Intro and title, “motobox that my wife would camp in”

[BigDave_185]

A thousand apologies but... I’ll try and speak electric speak


I took the factory wall switch and pulled power for over head lights from it. I pulled one wire and left loops hanging down every six feet and ended at my reverse light on the outside of the trailer.
I made a ground with an eye crimp and screw direct to frame. Then hung that down in bundle with the daisy chain


The back up light has power when daisy chain is complete, I added one ceiling light to the loop and it all still works.
I went to wire in a second light inside into the loop and that light one turn on.


What now?

Even more comedy

When the truck lights are on the back up light won’t turn on. Unless I turn the lights off

Ok fellas

Successful bed, it rode about 400 miles yesterday with zero hiccups.

Today I cut plywood to fit the frame and now to put the mattress on.

I have about 32” before the mattress goes on in the middle position. With 4’ on the bottom, enough for bikes to be loaded and the bed down to sleep on, no sitting up in bed for sure. But doable


At the lowest position it gives me 2’ enough to slide all of our gear bags under to keep out of the way.

Need to look into a screen for the back or something similar, open to suggestions

I hate storing things in my garage. I like it open for all the activities, so I washed the bikes from yesterday’s trip and decided back in the trailer they aught to go.


Looks it fits

That is one nice elevator bed! Nice job. I should have the rest of my steel this week and I am going to rebuild mine. Should be interesting as this will be my first real project welding something...

Wow.. that is a nice looking motor. Love those 2 stroke pipes. You prefer the 4 wheeler or your 2 wheeler? Different animals I know.. but if you could only haul one or the other.

Bike all day long!!! More suspension travel, more nimble, power to weight ratio is great

However that Yamaha banshee twin has always had a soft spot in my heart. Love these things.

It’s hard to duplicate the power band and WOT in a big sand bowl
