A toyhauler cargo conversion

pvangel, Howdy;

The shower was only a suggestion,...

Where are you going to vent the hydrogen fumes from
your battery while it's charging ???

hank

[pvangel]

I made a vent in the battery box, and will seal up the bigger holes.



This will go through the wall,

I was able to clean up the rest of the wiring tonight except the water pump which I have to mount first so did a quick layout check.

16 gallon water tank in place and my Honda EU 1000.



I did reinforce the floor of the cabinet before installing to make sure it held the weight I was planning on putting in there, cooler just fits!



And I wanted to be able to put the boots in there as well.





Now I can mount the tank and pump.

[pvangel]

So...back to the floor, cut in the first piece of Etrack so it ends up flush to the floor tile.



Looks good!



I cut in the wheel chock holders, have to clean up the wholes but should work well.

For those of you waiting for waiting for my daily update....It's friggen Valentines day and Sister Mary Margaret (my lovely wife of 30 years(at this point it is a life sentence)) deserves some attention too!
I think she might be jealous of the time spent on the trailer so I have to be good tonight.
Stay tuned tomorrow...same bat time and same bat channel

[pvangel]

Hank, Just didn't want you guys to think I was slacking....
No work this weekend so gonna get a bunch done!

[dudleydoright]

hey pvangel,

I'm married to her sister (sister Margaret Mary and we've been married 48 years)

Mike

[pvangel]

Mike, I drink to you as well! and share your pain...
Just kidding... my wife is the most wonderful person in the world and I have had 30 years of marital bliss!!!!

I have come a long way!



I wanted the holes to be cleaner for the wheel chocks and found I could drill by hand and get a nice clean cut.



and then flipped it over to trim the hole,



And found this, I LIKE IT!!!



Pain in the butttt fitting it all but everything will line up nicely I think. Have to stop because each piece needs to be bolted down before I can do final installation.

[pvangel]

Floor is in and DONE! All the wheel chocks and etrack are bolted down.

[pvangel]

Even though it was cold and we had 30 mph winds here today I manned up and mounted the battery vent, power cord, water fill doors, and 120 outlet on the exterior so I could tie everything into the trailer.



I tried to hook up the battery vent( and water fill) but the 1-1/4" tubing I bought was way too stiff even after heating it up it just won't bend.



I mounted the water pump above the tank to save space but it vibrated like a coin operated bed in Reno because it was centered between the studs.



So I moved it down and close to the stud, seemed much better.

[pvangel]

I have to say this is the best $99 I have spent on the trailer so far, I love it!

[pvangel]

Also.... I was able to test the converter with everything running at once, 8 lights, Fantastic fan, water pump all at the same time. According to the manual a alarm will sound if you exceed the DC output of the unit, which I did not calculate but guessed....I guess right?

pvangel, Howdy;

Have ya thought about turning your battery 90*, with the vent opening ....
