      @@acsadyt1 in most cases from my experience it is the switch on the column with dirty contacts or worn and or the hazard switches fall apart (best to replace with new or remove and strip and clean) as all the indicators run through them. I would try putting power to each indicator separately so that shows you if it has a bad earth/bulb or the unit in each case then work from there. Depending on your abilities you could use the continuity setting on your multimeter to see if you get continuity through the switch to the left and right side when moved.

    • @ThwaitesFabrication
      @ThwaitesFabrication 3 місяці тому

      😂. We love it. Me and my 8 year old son drove to Italy last summer and back and was very cool on hot nights with the windows open with the nets zipped. And dry in the rain. Easy to put up. Everything is an adventure in it. Only criticism was the cover let some rain in when driving and it’s kind of rubbed a the tent a bit when stored and driving and made some marks but that maybe just how we packed it away.

    Do not do what he did. The roof will sag and pool rain water and leak. This big of a span cut out can be strengthened with posts and a horizontal beam to keep roof level at the joint. Flat roof can be done with foam to fill the 2 inch jap and glue down strip of rubber. Turn buckle style connectors used in transit can keep them together. Floor can be flat at the joining interior edge and welded together with strap metal 1/8x4 inch to fill gap and connect two boxes. I have done these steps and successful.

      Hasn’t moved at all. Agreed if you cut the whole side out but this smaller span hasn’t moved. Interested to see yours 👍

    No need for a Top Heavy Tent, get a ground tent then you don't always need to camp at your vehicle, move the tent over near the stream or under the trees, and leave it to hold you campground while you explore during the day
