    I’ve watched many people rewire their boats on UA-cam and not gotten bored. I’m sure I wouldn’t get bored watching you rewire your camper. It beats what I’m doing in my life!

    If you install led lights in the ford please adjust them so they don’t blind the traffic you meet. So many people put them in a taller truck like ours and don’t adjust them down a little. They look to be on bright all the time. Hopefully Troy will have a deer as I am watching the video. Good luck with the wording. There are two helpful UA-cam guys that helped me a lot when I was still camping. One was rviing with Tito I think. If I can find the other who is a certified event technician and he covers all things even. If I find him I will send the information to you. Y’all stay safe and havagudun.

    Kurt get a telephone toner and send the tone from the bulb back to the 12v source and see where it is missing. Old crap like you have ( I have almost the same thing) is almost always corrosion at any place it is either spliced or terminated . Happy holidays and use dielectric grease on the bulb sockets.

    Well good luck , I wanted to go and learn how to work on Harley Davidson's , and go to the school for one year and I found out that it is 40 to $60,000 Bucks , and it depends on what you want to learn , or if you want a cheaper class , it would be cheaper, But if a person is going to do it you do not want to half ass learn , you want to learn from A to Z

    hey Kurt, Merry Christmas. from what I see, you are showing us the 110 volt side of things. There should be a 12 volt side of things with a fuse panel. They are separate from each other. What is not working?

  • @heatherkohlwey8379
    @heatherkohlwey8379 Рік тому

    You should be able to find the wiring diagram for that specific camper in a pdf file. Then you can rig up some insulated panels for the canvas area when it's popped up and you should be good to go. That's why I let my husband do the wiring thing. Don't electrocute yourself and God bless.

    Wiring isn't that hard.
    Use proper tools & hardware and fuse everything accordingly.
    If you are unsure about the wiring quality of old existing wiring, replacing that is a good idea. Also make sure to watch out for possible rub-out spots and better run wiring in trunking or plastic conduit that's supposed to prevent rub-outs in vehicles.
    Use Wago connectors instead of wire nuts - they're way better if used correctly. The transparent Wago 221 makes it very easy to double-check your work too and if you need to remove a single wire, that's very easy and quick with those.
    Do you have a multimeter to measure resistance and voltage? If not, go get one. I recommend a basic "Uni-T UT210E" that can also measure current.
    That's an incomplete list of things that came to mind - but it'll get you started. If you have further questions, feel free to ask :3

    I have a idea that we used in our old camper we had home type of braker box and put it in the closet and ran all of the wiring into it I think it was a 100amp, great video and God bless from GA and happy holidays 👍

    O-H-I-O Porter greetings.🇺🇸 Brrrrr, it’s cold outside!❄️ How can you be bored when working on wiring or hunting? The location of the wiring does seem a bit tight. I’m catching up on your videos. How’s the camper working out for you guys? Does the top crank up higher? It looks like it might. Is the camper a “Keeper”? It does look good on your truck. Hope that you had a good Christmas!🎄 We sure did! Until next time my friend! Blessings!🥰❄️✌️

  • @fizixx
    @fizixx Рік тому

    Yikes, well, the wiring looks like it was put in while the camper was being built with no way to access anything. You can try to do continuity tests to see if there are any broken connections. Unless you have a schematic, which you probably don't it's going to be really hard to dissect the problem without taking the camper apart and checking things. The guy that did it probably didn't figure it would be a big deal and would never need repairs, so what you have is probably all you're gonna get, but ask him if he has a schematic anyway. Maybe the plug you mentioned messing with is bad? It shouldn't be an overly complicated task, but it's buried and hard to get at, which is what sucks. At least that's my take. Good luck to you.

    What exactly is the problem with the wiring. What is it doing? 12 volt camper systems are.pretty simple and you have a large audience here to help. Is it working off 12v but not 115 shore power?

    I'm sure you are following the viewership numbers: these deer hunting, etc vid's are getting about half of your normal trucking vid's. views. I might be concerned that although your sub count is up, not too many subs are actually watching.... Frankly it's getting a little boring.
