Finally got the "Camper" back from the electrical overhaul. Everything is better than we'd hoped--but was more expensive than we imagined. So it goes. Took a shakedown cruise to Cape Cod last weekend and everything went well.
Yesterday I rewired the trailer socket to conform to the industry standard pin outs. (Anyone care to explain the thinking that goes into wiring a truck to match a trailer instead of the other way around--especially given that trailer must have been wired wrong!) Replaced the socket while I was doing the job--the cover flap had broken off. Currently running new wiring harness through the Demco tow dolly, pulling ground wires directly to each light. (The way they should be grounded to start with.) LED lights went on the Demco last week. Wish we had the $$$ to do the entire rig in LED--maybe next year.
Lots of little projects in the coming weeks as we prepare to head cross country. I'll try to keep you posted--and publish some pix of the interesting stuff.
