Surthrival Trailer Mark 1 Update #16
Good Evening Everyone
More Progress is happening on the trailer today with the install of an 3/4" LB to route the cables inside the trailer.
I used a 3/4" diameter hole saw and came down from my angle steel around 3.5" to give me enough room to drill. I chose this location to center all the wiring coming into the trailer. I will be centering my battery bank and Sol-Ark system above the axels.
Just put the LB into the hole for a dry fit. It sits just a little loosely in the hole that was just drilled.
I'm using a clear GE II silicone to seal this junction box from the elements.
Using my knife I cut an angle for the nozzle and poked a hole using my caulk gun to get the silicon to flow.
I put a bead of silicone around the backing of the LB.
I used a paint roller as a prop to allow the silicone to cure.
I took this pvc fitting from another junction box I'm using for my tankless water heater, its a 3/4"x/1/2 " PVC fitting that fit just inside the LB I primerd and glued this to the LB.
Primer'd the LB side.
Applied the glue and insert the fitting.
Thank you for your time if you gave this a read!
Nice work!
Are you going to have conduit on the inside of the trailer also?
Thank you Amber! I wasn't planning on it, what are your thoughts?
I guess it depends on how many wires you'll have coming through into the trailer and how long they're going to be. One thing about conduit is that it protects the wires from damage.
You're right, I will for sure put them in conduit thank you so much @amberyooper.
