newbie in Tigard, Oregon

Postby crowleymom8 » Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:54 pm

Joined back in February 2012 -
I am a mom of many (7) and will be working on my teardrop over time and with several "what do you need', family feedings and "honey, let me help you do that before you get hurt" breaks.
I am passionate about 'hobby' building and I enjoy the challenge of keeping the costs down. :thinking:
If anyone would please share their knowledge of the electrical process: what to do and when to get ready to put in the wiring and the electrical components - that would be very helpful. (volts, amps, wire gauge and type, etc. that I will need) :worship:
I started my teardrop on February 27th and am ready to put up the walls.
I did not enjoy bolting the flooring to the trailer frame - that was a contortionists challenge!
When my computer savvy daughter has time off from work I will ask her to add my step-by-step and picture journal that I have been keeping.
Until then I hope that this type of sharing will do.
I look forward to reading opinions, critics, advice and shared excitement.
respectfully, :)

Welcome! Sorry I can't help you wth any electrical questions as my tear is sort of a "boon docking" special, no frills (electricity) but have fun with your build. Teardroppers of Oregon and Washington puts together some good gatherings, so check it out if you're interested. You can find their most recent newsletter in the Northwest section of this forum.
