Quote from: TexasRedNeck on April 06, 2020, 08:31:01 PMDo I know we’ve covered this but keep an eye on those wheel bearings with that much offset. They are designed for 0 offset Sent from my iPad using TapatalkGot a winner!I said to myself, someone right away is going to point out the offset thing!Couple of points Texfirst of all the wheels are negative offset and the 2" spacer probably brought them to near their CGSecondly with the bearing actually subjected to 2" positive offset, remember these are the much larger 8,000 pound 8-lug brakes/spindles/bearings and not the light or even medium duty stuffFinally with all that bearing in there, the camper is not all that heavyMy concern is more to do with unwanted loosening of all those lug nuts.

I definitely got a bit of overspray on the floor!
If you wet the floor the paint wont stick to it. Spray it down with a garden hose. When it all dries sweep up the paint.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Don, are those true 2 piece spacers or just two spacers bolted together? Reason I ask is my guy makes legit 2 piece spacers that lock together.

Looks good chief. What’s the story with the final tune on the burb?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks great. Looks professionally done.

So I missed the junction box at the front. I’d run a separate two conductor from there for the brakes. Keep the sealed bundle sealed under the trailer. I’m not a fan of splitting a perfectly sealed cable open unnecessarily. That’s what I was getting at. And yeah on the jack too. But it works.
Yeah electrically speaking the shortest run is best. The rest is about weatherproofing. You aren’t building a Hilton. Jacks may be sub optimal but it’s not a 42ft fifth wheel with a wife that complains she has to have a king size bed....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chief,I went back and did a rough over view of how you got to where camper is.... That being said, I did not see a canvas solution (roof to body connection). I did see you ordered some marmi tent material, but that is all I saw. Good chance I missed your plan in my quick read through, but if you don't have a full solution yet, please give me a call we would like to try and help if we are able. Of course if I missed your solution just ignore this and continue mission. -T
I like the second jbox idea back near the wheels. I also like to keep the wiring to each brake equal length so that the voltage drop is equal so one brake doesn’t grab harder than the other. Maybe I’m just overly anal about wiring...dunno.

I'll measure and cut the temper-tent material to the korrekt dimensions and glue the pile velcro to those surfaces.I purchased the proper glue so hopefully, no issues with the thing pulling apart. I would have it sewn up, but I don't know of anyplace around here that would do something like that.
