I admire your progress and ingenuity on your project as it is starting to come together. A 2 cents contribution if allowed.I have soldered wiring in all phazes of rv & general automotive wiring and it is very reliable & cost effective when done correctly with the proper products.I have even in the right circumstances soldered and then shot the appropriate size wire nut full of silicone and installed it for a tight weather resistant connection with integrity When you see the scotch connectors etc they have used for years in RV manufacturing with a very high failure rate makes soldering look ike a well planned savior for reliabilty & longivity.
Also any thing you use with sticky tape on it usually doesn't stand up to the heat in an Rv so to use those types of wire hangars seems to be it could be another weak link. We have witnessed many so applied devices fall down in mid summer,I sure wouldn't want that to happen inside a wall or something. Just my 2 cents & keep up the good work.IMHO
First for sure the 2 cents contribution is Very Welcome for sure,
And I believe the weather resistant connection is a big part of any of these connections and reliable is the name of this game, Do it once and forget about it right LOL.. With all this good info its like having a few professional people working with you,...Man this RV site is great, Anything and everything is right here, I could fix just about anything and make it right so that it would last like anything should if ya know what I mean, just a fair handyman ya know, But the information and the things a man can learn from Talking to other people learning there way and then mix and match all that with your way of doing and a lot of times changing your way to someones else way man the learning just never end's, Like the old saying go's....
You learn something new every day, Man is that true.....LOL Only if I could remember it all,..............LOL
