a few quirks of the new rig Springdale 294BHSSRWE
So last week was my maiden voyage...
As i was backing into my spot... I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a TON of smoke rapidly filing the air... To my discovery, Keystone placed the breakaway brake assembly in a bad spot.
the cable got pinched in the chain, grounded out and DISINTEGRATED all the way to the little junction that was mounted on inside of frame.
The brown mark is the arc point. So if you look at the top pic, I have since butt connected a new cable and routed it to here...
my next concern
ME NO LIKEY! what is a better solution for this mess? Install a buss bar and pit in a weather proof box? any ideas would be great.
And now... I have noticed a have a pretty significant parasitic drain... I think it is due to the jensen stereo... My 12v converter/charger is all the way in the rear of the trailer in the Bunkhouse... Is it appropriate to install a battery disconect there.. or should i do it at the battery, I really don't want to have one exposed to the elements... (suggestions welcome... include pics if you can)
I am gonna have some of my front end take apart tomorrow as I prep for my Hensley Arrow install. So I will be tinkering.
