Our build plan

No problem; have fun with it; think outside the box

If you wanted to make it 16" OC and had room to do it in your ceiling, perhaps something like this would work.
Hope it makes sense, ha! The zero to 96" is running down your wall nose to rear of trailer; like laying out ceiling joists in a house frame.

I got a quote today on 2” of closed cell sprayed on the bottom of trailer. Actually two different estimates. Which were both the same price.
Anybody had this done? I figured it would seal it up well… any drawbacks?

I put awning up today and the last window installed. The awning mounted low enough on wall that it didn’t go through the top steel channel so I put one mount on a stud and screwed it through channel, mastic, siding and into the stud. The front one I could still take ply off so took it off and foam out and added a square tubing top to bottom to mount to. Should be good I reckon. Waiting on my Amazon orders to do plumbing and electrical.

Sounds like you have been busy! Can't wait to see some pics.

I cannot see any drawbacks to the blown on insulation, but I am not very familiar with that. I can see it harder to run any wires or etc. after thoughts when that is on in any case.

I just cut 2in styrofoam insulation and used liquid nails and a tight fit to hold it. So far so good.

Can somebody advise me on wire gauge? From my fuse box to my 12v refrigerator is around 12’. On the back of the fridge it says the voltage range and 20 amp max. What size wire do I need?

[nsfr1206]

I’m close to done with pressure plumbing, tank and pump. Of course my sink isn’t in and my drains aren’t complete yet. Shower valve and head are in. I need to do a little more insulating and framing and so I’m getting close to electrical.

I used 10-gauge copper in my trailer for larger loads like my 5000 btu window a/c, fantastic fan, refrigerator, etc., and 14-guage for light loads like led lights, led tv, etc.

10ga is heavy duty for that application. 12ga would be fine, but when it comes to electrical installation, better to be larger than needed than too small. My 110VAC main is 20A breaker, so I have 10ga coming in, but circuits have 15A breakers, so 12ga is all that's needed.

Having said that, 12ga on the main and 14ga on circuits is probably good too. Rarely would see max loads if ever and the the wire has enough margin to handle max current in case of shorts.

In any case, whenever in doubt or close to margins, go up a size..

Thanks. Went out of state a few days to a wedding. Amazon sent some more things for trailer so hopefully can get back on it. I need to frame my bed platform in the front of camper soon, probably before I wire.

Things are happening over here! I’ve got more framing done. I also have both power inlets in and wired to the transfer switch and transfer switch wired to main panel. I have been working on my 12v electrical and have 100 amp lithium battery ordered. I am running that through a circuit breaker to a Blue Seas 12v panel. I have a couple questions…
What size wire do I need to run to the Blue Seas? It’s only a run of a foot or so…
I understand the circuit breaker is there to protect that wire. What size does it need to be? I will have a shunt in between there somewhere also to run a Renogy power meter.

I’ve got my 110 all ran except for the terminations on the far ends. Still wondering about circuit breaker and size of wires.

I ordered a 100 amp circuit breaker and some 6 gauge wire.

Hopefully that will work.

More progress today on wiring. Lithium battery also came!

Did some more wiring today and started on cabinet toe kick. Some of my wiring and my pex run through the toe kick area under cabinets.

Question- it seems like I’m going to have a lot of weight on the driver side of the trailer. My shower, battery, most of my cabinets, refrigerator and microwave are over there. How likely am I to cause the trailer to lean over?
