The Moonshine Motel

[GLTHFJ60]

Got the dividing wall framed out, the 12v interior lights hung, first bank of them wired, then installed the 12v battery system. Interior 12v lights aren't super bright, but they're bright enough!

Onwards and upwards.

And a smoke

And a smoke machine to really make it an event when he opens that door to back out the truck.

White smoke, not the black kind that he already has in there!

May as well add a ric flair robe and blonde wig too, right?

Finished wiring the interior 12v lights, and added the exterior LED strips from a company called Boogie Lights. Have light switches for the interior lights to match the LED strip switch on the way, but the LED strips have a dimmer

Ballin! Looks awesome man. Keep it up.

More progress. Insulation in the goose, sheeted the goose side of the dividing wall, put a fuse in for the battery, and switches for the interior lights.

Yet again, a week away from a trip, and you’re working on your trailer because your rig is dialed. I’m currently pulling the knuckle off the Crasin to clean or replace trunion bearings.

It is nice to only break body panels, lol.

BTW, are you going to be able to bring a few springs to windrock?

Planning on grabbing them this weekend.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

More progress the past couple days. Looks like I'm gonna have running water for the windrock trip next week.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Water and hot water are now operational, minus the gfci outlet I need to add for the hot water heater. Filled the under floor water tank as well. It has a big sag in it now that it's full, but I'm assuming that's expected. This tank is supposedly designed to hang like I have it set up.

Lighted carling switch to turn the pump on and off, which will end up right under the lip of the counter. Should be perfect.

Nice!!
That water heater run off of 12v?

No, it's 120v. Not sure it's a permanent fixture or just a stepping stone, but it'll work for now.

Once I get my inverter set up, this water heater will run off of the batteries by way of the inverter. It takes 1500w though.

That is quite the bulge on the tank. I bet you could easily add a couple metal straps if it is an issue.

I will be interested to hear your feedback on the pump and tank. I plan to purchase a freshwater tank and pump for the boat here soon.

Maybe the tank is just REALLY happy to see him? LOL

The sag wouldn't matter if the bottom could fit above the trailer belly line. A couple straps and a piece of plate will go a long way for protecting that tank from the crap that the trailer will be inevitably straddling. You've nailed the details thus far. What's one more?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Tank straps added. Once that was in, we filled it again, and it bulged on top, pushing the floor up, lol.

Turns out that after overfilling the tank, the fill vent gets covered with water, and it just swells. Will make sure not to overfill in the future.

I then hand planed the coatings off of the counter top and resealed it with stained poly in the house so it cures faster. Should be about one more coat and she's golden, then I can install everything for good.
