Maiden voyage update. It's not 100%, but it's functioning. The aft freshwater tank has a bloating problem (lol). I'm going to add another horizontal brace before we secure the wall. Otherwise, the plumbing inside the trailer is all good! The instant hot water heater works well after...

Are the plugs wet or dry? Ballast on the frame horn plugged in? Not much to go on here. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Is it throwing any codes?

I heard your fenders need rolled. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

My first built engine went 90k miles. It probably should have been rebuilt at 70k, but that didn't happen. Ring end gaps are a big concern in an engine that will see sustained high temp operation. Even the stock 2.3 has tight ring end gaps from the factory. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

None of that stuff is hooked up in my car. Racecar lyfe. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

A good heim joint will NOT make noise. Jump to QA1, Aurora, or FK. FK has the best selection of metric/stainless steel/Teflon lined joints, and you can order how tightly the ball fits into the socket. They are a wear item, even the good ones will go bad on a street car in 1-2 years. 4 good...

Electrical is DONE! We tested the plumbing this weekend and found a couple leaks with the uniseal fittings. They are now in place with silicone, so we'll retry this week when we have some time. All of the PEX fittings are good. Still need to try out the water heater, but the water lines...

The rears poke a little bit past the flares, the fronts are probably 1-2" beyond. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Yes, she sure did. Also, the tire blankets. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Honestly, I hope to never do this again. We don't have a lot of free time during the weekdays, and it's sucked up a bunch of weekends. For sure we're saving a bunch doing it ourselves, but it's been really time consuming. If I had the disposable cash, I'd just custo order a trailer with all...

No idea, I just installed it how it came out of the box lol. In the short run time I've had with it, the insulation exterior was at ambient temp while the bare copper portion was cold. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Got the water heater box brackets welded and mounted. The box is a sealed electrical housing that we are repurposing, and it will house a propane fired instant water heater for the shower and sink. The lines are plumbed to disconnects on the front of the trailer, so this should be ready for...

AC works! And most of the 120V system is installed. I'm doing 5 120V outlets - 1 on the front wall, and 2 on each side of the side walls. All 20A circuitry in case I need to hook up some high draw stuff while we're out. We've also made decent progress on the plumbing and front cabinet area...

I nuked a motor and I'm not out for the season. Get to it. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Slight detour. The 1500 was great with the previous 24' trailer. 9.5-10.5mpg and no real issues with sway with a good weight distribution hitch. With the 28 footer, not so much. Mileage was pretty much the same if I wasn't driving directly into the wind, but DAMN it's so much worse in cross...

Making some good progress on the bathroom and AC install. Walls are up, and it seems they'll hold the freshwater tanks just fine. I welded supports for the AC onto the tongue, and have it mostly together. My next big project is the 120V electrical but may wire up a plug to the ac unit to test...
