Nicely done!

[SpringerPop]

Quite nice, indeed!

Don't regurgitate into your battery box, 'cause THAT will get hydrochloric acid on the aluminum!

Zinc chromate goes a long ways to prevent aluminum from feeling the effects of its environment, if that should ever become an issue at all.

I'm actually thinking of doing the interior in bedliner. I'm in aviation (well, almost out now) , getting some zinc chromate is no problem. I thought about it, might spray the interior with it. Boesheild works great, but not really something you want to use in an application like this and total overkill.

Nice enough, but I've only go 60 bucks into the project so far (having my own ming and access to metal shop helps!). 53 Bucks USD a piece would more than quadruple what I've already spent!

LOL!

I was also looking for a double battery box and found the perfect one at a battery store for around 70 bucks heavy duty plastic perfect.

Nice job.

I'm trying to figure out how to get 2 batteries on the tongue of my RV. I've been all over the internet looking for boxes. Your box looks a lot like the $300 ones! Nice job.

Next project: same box with insulation=beer cooler

Very well documented and well executed.

Got some work done today. First was an easy shower head install:

Video speaks for itself I think. Well worth the time, money and effort to bring it over from the UK.

Then I installed the Progressive Industries surge protector. My power comes in at the side rear of the trailer and there's a box/end table to hide it all in:



All wired up an attached to the floor:



All back together:



I'm going to mount the controller/display to the front of the cabinet, I just didn't have a proper drill to make the hole for the wire. I feel much better with a good surge protector installed and this ones the "Cadillac" of protectors.

I also installed the Wineguard Wingman (easy as pie) and the Wineguard Sensar Pro. I have to bring a panel cutting with me when we head back to the trailer as the Sensar Pro needs a bigger hole than the original antenna booster. Otherwise, easy install.

I also installed the Progressive Dynamics convertor with the wiz pro. It was the "upgrade" kit that slides right into the WFCO housing. Not even 10 mins to do the swap out and it will look after my golf cart batteries far better than the WFCO ever would have. Again, the "Cadillac" of convertors.

Things are coming alone nicely.
