Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Final step before we use the trailer for our move was adding some LED light strips so we can see inside. Very simple and cheap project that had some great results.
LED Strips amzn.to/34W1MKV
Extension Wire amzn.to/2MduTTm
LED Strip Mounts amzn.to/34WjAWk
Then grab any type of 18-22 awg connector you'd like to use!
Rubber Bumpers amzn.to/34W2eZD
Seam Sealer amzn.to/34Zga53

What are your ideas for naming the trailer?? Wrong answers only...
Hey my man is there any way you could email a subscriber (me lol) those files you had saved for your acoustic movie panels?
When installing self stick items like LED lights, spray contact cement on the trailer where the lights will mount, let dry. Stick the self stick tape to the contact cement and your lights won't fall down over time. Stronger, longer bond💪👊
I suggest you install a marine or deep cycle battery inside the trailer, remove the brake battery and let your vehicle charge the marine battery. You can add a small solar panel on the roof to act as a battery tender for the marine/deep cycle battery. You can run LED interior lights for weeks off one of those.
Absolutely love the way the LED lights worked out. I have the same size trailer and the only lights it has are the two up on the roof of the trailer. They do work for what we do with the trailer. 99% of the time if we are pulling the trailer it's because our bikes are inside and we're heading to a motorcycle event. And normally no matter where we go whenever we stop day or night I get out and make sure the bikes are secure. I absolutely love all the light those LEDs have. So I just added an item to my list to do whenever winter is over.
On your roof problem if you Google or stop by a camping world store or any store that has campers and accessories there's a special tape to use. You can get it I believe it's in three five and nine inches wide. And when you put that up on the roof the rest of that roof would rust off before that tape would ever come up. The best thing about it is that you can use it on just about any roof on campers or trailers. The sticky side really bonds itself to the roof. And the longer it's up there stronger it gets. I've had a couple of friends that's had that on their roof for 10 years and still have no issues. It's a nice thing to carry also just in case you have a run-in with a tree branch.
I really thought it was adorable when you had your son there with you. It really put a big smile on my face remembering my two when they were little. So any father who has their adorable son in a video I definitely had to hit like and subscribe.
I'd like that red look of your trailer. You just don't see those that often. It's usually white or black or the places I go throw in some Harley Orange.
Thank you for the great information and that was a brilliant idea of using the breakaway battery to turn on the lights in the trailer when you're not up to your toe vehicle.
Thanks man, I'll definitely check out that tape! There's a few rivets that had a small drip leak when it rained and the seam sealer worked well for those and the other areas so far, but that tape would be great to throw in there in case something happens.
Those lights are a game changer for being able to see at night. Definitely add it to your list. The sticky backing didn't hold in a few areas, but those tiny clips have held them in place with zero issue, so definitely grab those. I try to throw my son in there whenever I can, he loves watching himself later! Have a great weekend!
Clifford the Big Ref Trailer is perfect🥰
Finally some talent on this channel. 😅😂Talan really delivered his line with passion and conviction.
He knew as soon as I said it! 😆
Those lights are nice and 🌞
I cut them blots down with grinder, forget flip the ramp one time and the boy takes one in the knee or worse. Cheers thanks for video
When the weather is warm brush the Seam sealer on the top of the roof to help keep it from leaking
Nice light option
I work out my enclosed trailer, I may do the marine battery hooked to my truck. My lights only work currently with the key on in my truck. I bought a four pack of LED’s which will give me enough lighting BTW we have three Indian motorcycles. A Roadmaster, Super Chief Limited and a Scout 60
Nice bikes man. If I decide to give up the Victory, it'll be for an Indian
That small battery is for your electric brakes only. if that little battery is dead and your trailer becomes detached from the truck while underway you could kill someone or cause property damage as those brakes will not deploy in such an emergency. As tempting as it is to use that little battery for coach power don't your better off installing a separate 12 volt battery for off truck lighting use.
Cliford!! I named mine Pookee 2
Nice job! Why doesn’t every cargo trailer have interior lights like these standard nowadays? One dome light is just dumb
I have a small 8-ft trailer I'm converting into a little mini camper and they hooked my 12-volt up straight to the four prong connector so I have to keep my running lights on in order to use the 12 volt in the trailer. I'm thinking of just disconnecting that light and installing a battery somewhere and running a new wire just so I can use it without the running lights. Any thoughts :-) mine's so small that I don't need a seven-prong connector
e-track wasn’t even on my Top 10 Things I was thinking about doing to get my 8x14 on the road, nor the LED lighting. Both are great ideas. Thanks too for the heads up on the screw lengths. I use those for work, but no the 2+” variety.
The LED’s turned out great, look forward to adding those as well.
You’ve given me enough good info to keep me busy for a couple weekends. I owe you a PBR next time you’re in Atlanta. (22 oz can of course)
Dude, LEDs are a must. Those dinky lights they have don't do anything. And those leds are super cheap, so for about $50 you can light up that thing! And depending on what you're using the trailer for, e-track is a pretty amazing products. You'll never run out of places to tie down. Its a bit expensive to do the whole thing like I did, but shop around. Amazon is 2x the price of some other places that specialize in cargo trailer supplies.
And does PBR come in a smaller size?? Just seems wrong if so 😉 good luck on the trailer!
I forgot to ask. When time permits, could you give me a brand name and size to replace the door seals.
I just went on Amazon and bought some fairly cheap seals. Mone were 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch. That was ok for the side door, but I would go bigger for the main back door. At least a 3/4 inch strip or bigger. You'll need the extra thickness to get a good seal
@@LifeofBliss yer a good man. Thank you for the info.
Found out this tailgating trailer also has a built in beer tap. That just reestablished my faith in god.
Come to Atlanta and help me break it in.
That's a thing?! Well, starting a mod list for the next trailer now 😅 have a good one man!
Yo, is your sons name Tallon? Mine too! He's destined for greatness.
Lol yessir. Different spelling, same destination 😉
Put some eternabond tape on the seams and holes on top of the trailer.
I know it's been awhile...how's it come along since? Have an update?
turned out pretty good
Looks great.
Looks great!!! Hope the move goes well!
I love the lights, good job.
I'm looking for how you got the wires hooked up to begin with.
Was hoping you’d get info on the battery, def not for running electrical in the trailer.
It was for the emergency brakes if the trailer becomes detached from the truck. Learned that during this project...
I would like to see how you install those shelf on those etrack
They are just standard garage shelves that I secured to the top track with a ratchet strap. Super easy
Trailer name " She thought it would be bigger "😂😅🤣
Lol she actually was quite shocked when she saw it! But I like the name...
Missing you on here and on IG. Hope you and the family are all well. This is Tristan
Good things coming my friend. Finally settling down to where I can get back to making some videos 👍🤜🤛
You say try to figure how to keep the electricity running. What about adding a solar panel to the roof of your trailer? By the way, what is a plan to use the trailer for? I'm thinking about grabbing one myself for a mini camper and storing scuba gear. I could go scuba and sleep in the same trailer without setting up the tent.
We used it for relocating about 4 hours away. Took about 4 trips, here's a video on it if you were interested ua-cam.com/video/to425Gp3dhM/v-deo.html
Solar would be kind of a cool option, but would also probably be more expensive than I'd want to spend for how much we use it. I'll probably just route the power wire directly to that battery since those LEDs draw such little power. It would charge when we have it connected to a vehicle
How do you wire in the LED lights to the switch. I just did the same thing after watching your video however, my lights stay on as long as my headlights/running lights are on. As soon as I turn them off the LEDs go with them. But the dome light inside the trailer still works on and off using the switch.
I stumbled across your video while searching for inspiration on adding lights inside my trailer. How did the strip lights fair over time? I'm from KC too!
Nice! Good place to be... lights are still working great. Just make sure you secure them with some clips like I did, that adhesive won't last in the heat and cold!
What battery did you end up using to run the LED lights?
This may be a dumb question about the lights. Mine has a light which only operates when connected to the truck. Can I take the wire going to the switch and connect it to a battery then connect it to the switch. Basically putting the battery in-line. Will the battery charge from the truck so when I turn my vehicle off lights still operate inside?
That's what I was hoping to do. You can, but that battery is for the emergency braking system most likely. You could wire it up to run the lights though
Get a deep cell battery to run the lights, not the trailer brake battery.
I would LOVE to know what type of Trailer lock you got to lock it up while not in use, and no one can jack it!
I just grabbed a cheaper one from Menards
Why no opaque panels on the roof to allow natural light during the day.
Were do you get. The battery i have seem problem with my trailer
How did those lights hold up over the hot summer days? Did they stay on the walls?
They still work great almost 3 years later. They stayed on the walls from the clips I installed in the video. They won't stay on from the tape alone
Are they still bright? If you could do it over would you have chosen a better tone/color/lumen? Update video?
Still bright. LEDs usually don't lose brightness unless they fail somehow. I'm very happy with them, wouldn't change a thing
are the tires mounted to the etrack and if so, what are you using?
Yes sir, just using one of these per tire amzn.to/3Q76Xjn
Need to show how much the lights put out will BOTH DOORS SHUT
LOUD NOISES!!! It's very bright, especially compared to the single bulb that was in there.
Where did you get your rope lights at, just put together a toy hauler/ camper and I'm down to the light..... thanks
I threw links to the lights in the description 👍🏼
@@LifeofBliss i have never figured out how to get to the links, everyone always says go to links , I'm just not that savvy

@@LifeofBliss thanks
Thanks for showing us those COOL LED lights! I’ve used them on my 2 meter RC Plane's wings creating quite the effect! I’m wanting to do the same for my trailer but wanted to ask you if that might be too much light? It looks like u used 2 (16.4’)strips of the LED’s? Do you think u cud have gotten away with just one side of the trailer? I may do that or try to install a dimmer to them which I’d have to find out if possible. Thanks!
Correct, I used 2 of the 16 ft strips. As far as too much light? Nah. In my opinion, the more light the better. Strips on each side help light up the opposite sides of the trailer. If it were just 1 side, underneath the lights would be as bright. The strips a cheap so might as well do both! Have a good one!
Just got a 7x14 and looking around for ideal to set it up. Your spare mounted up like that I like, what did you use to mount it to the track?
I grabbed a few of these. They work great, gets the tire up off the floor amzn.to/3wkeLUa
Where did you get the lights
Links are in the description of the video
Clifford
Hi what it’s the name of the glue or stuff you put it
I didn't use any glue. The backing on the leds has an adhesive. All the products I used are linked in the description
I’m sorry the one you put on the roof to fix the leaks
@arnulfodeleongalvan2830 oh, yes that's called automotive seam sealer. amzn.to/49PUDLT
Deluxe Radio Flyer
Those LED's. I need some for my small office space at home 800sqft or so. Can those run on 120 and are they adjustable in color? "Iffff not" - can you point me to some strips that will line a cieling line? And cheap would help too 😂😂Cheers!
Check this video out bud, the links in the description will get you all set up. 24v leds, power supple, controller, and multi color strips 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/Ao18_Ciq3z4/v-deo.html
What's the lumens ?
How could you power the lights without truck?
You could throw in a battery on the switch circuit
Did you plywood your walls all the way up or was that factory ?
Factory walls. I just replaced the flooring and added the etrack
Been watching a few of your videos recently. Really great stuff. I keep seeing your victory Sign in the HT room. Curious what model you're riding? 16 Magnum here. Love it.
Hell yea man. I was looking for a magnum with the 21 inch wheel before I found mine. 2014 cross country. Matte black and gray with a 23 inch front wheel. I did some motorcycle content early on when I started youtube. Had a 2013 jackpot as well. Miss that bike... but yea you can go back to the earlier videos on my channel and check them out. If you have ever seen the double din dash mod, I started that as well with the video I made. Took off on all the forums like crazy after I did it 😉🤘
@@LifeofBliss I think we have the same Vic XC see my pic in my signature and I also have a double Den radio.
@@MrZX1409 hell yea! You have the hard lowers though, wish I had a set lol... did you watch my video on how to do the double din and diy it? Or buy it from one of the guys on the FB groups? Double din is the only way to go. I asked a well known builder in Cali in one of the groups if they made something like that. He said it was impossible... until I proved him wrong 😂
@@LifeofBliss No I had mine installed back in 2019 but it's back in the shop to get a redo, fat tire kit, front air ride and new stereo.
Nice... I'll put some more money into mine one day. Got some other priorities first. Would love to add some more power and more speakers lol
where did you buy the lights
Amazon. I have links to the products I bought in the video description 👍🏼
So no video of the lights working ?
There's video of them working, watch the while thing? And there's video of them in the next video, moving vlog
@@LifeofBliss yes, I did.
Wouldn't want to put a car in that.
We actually hauled a prelude roller the other day. Did fine but wouldn't want to haul much more than that
