Might add some of this to your mess. 100ft - 1 inch PET Expandable Braided Sleeving - BlackRed - Alex Tech Braided Cable Sleeve https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GM133X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_713qEbHFHNRTHThinking the Hot and Cold braided lines might be better managed held together. We used lots of it while wiring antenna for your flying machines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Besides that, leaving connectors in the open, on the roof to bounce around??
Don are you not using plastic or metal electrical boxes around your 110v outlets?
What kind of armor are you putting on this Don? Metal rock sliders? Metal rear bumper? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another box would just be the department of redundancy department. It all fits nice and snugly
I installed a 110VAC outlet in the pantry box for possible use outside...coffee maker?
The next box turned out well. Kind of what I was just talking about, the box is the box...The finishing technique I am using is to finish the object with body plastic, sanding to smooth. Then three coats of black epoxy. I follow that the next day with another coat of paint. I sand that when it's dry and spray with two coats of spar urethane.
Those sliders are made from 2x3 3/16 wall tube (sound familiar?) and the round is 1 5/8” hr x 1/8”
I agree with Dave, if it were mine and it's not. I would do more of an exo cage style around the bottom. Which then has me wondering what is the total overall width of this camper? 102"? If its less then I would do as we used to do when I was a kid on our wood hauling trailers we pulled behind the tractors. What we would do to save the tires is ramp it out to the side in front of and behind the wheel wells. This would allow us to push and pull it around tree through the woods and tires didn't get hung up on the trees. In this case you could make two bars for each side. One in front of the wheels and one aft then wrap it around front or back for 12-18" or so...….
Sorry, for the crappy sketch. Spent a whole three minutes on it. But if your 2x3 tube frame sits under the outer edge and then you outboard the tires a bit. I’d start by building the fenders and angle out to them in the front and the back. Then I’d add round tubing as a step / rub rail along the side. Probably don’t need it to wrap around front as it’s narrower already than the suburban. You may want to put a full tube along rear though and I’d bend them in at each end and weld right to the 2x3 frame underneath. Nothing mad maxish but light and highly functionalSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
