    Toby the Turtleback Trailer Build Thread

    I got the trailer out last night to install a few more National Luna lights around the outside. I put one on the roof of the tent so it illuminates the annex room when the tent is open. I also put 2 on the alu-can shadow awning. One over the sink and one over the fold down table that will be...

    I'm not really sure what the weight is. It's pretty light as it's mostly 1/2" ply, the tops and a few select pieces are 3/4, and the smaller verts are 1/4". What I haven't shown yet because I don't have the tires installed so It sits to low, there are fold down adjustable table legs under the...

    A few photos of where I'm at. I got my custom truckbox.com box installed, it's amazing. They did a fantastic job. I spent this weekend working on my kitchen. It’s not done yet, but it’s far enough along I thought I would share. I still need to build my electronics panel on the top right and...

    Truck to trailer charging recommendations

    This is a nice charger, I looked at it, but it has limited amps out like all B2B chargers. Unfortunately this one is only 10amps which isn't high enough. Right now I'm running a standard alt., but hope to replace mine with a high output one soon. I want to maximize the amps that the trailer...

    I installed my "house" side electrical panel. I think I'll leave the wood raw, kinda like it. It provides 8 switches, 4 2.1a USB, 1 12v, and 4 110v plugs as well as a remote switch for my inverter. The switches will control: 1. Box internal lights 2. Tent power 3. Water heater & 12v propane...

    Over the weekend I got my nose box wired up. Here is the general lay out and wiring diagram, only difference is that I moved the Blue Sea AC Breaker box and added a Blue sea 4 gang DC circuit breaker/switch panel to control particular items that I wanted to override when the main Blue Sea fuse...

    Version 2.0, I didn't run the battery charger's negative leads through the shunt, this newer diagram accounts for that.

    Proposed wiring for trailer

    Hey guys, as usual I'm hoping I can bounce my trailers proposed wiring diagram off you guys before I start wiring it up. I think I've come up with a reasonable layout and I believe the wiring should be straight forward, but anytime I can get a second set of eyes I'm very thankful. Please let me...

    Not sure yet. It’s peeling in many places but they are all places where the arms rub the rack when it articulates. I’m going to touch it up this summer and add an additional stainless washer to keep the parts from rubbing. The painting process was easy enough, stunk really bad!

    Thanks for the compliment. I do agree with you on the mounts, that awning is a giant sail. I think I only need one of the bracket extension; either square tube or the 1/4” strapping. Once my kitchen box arrives, I’m hoping I can clear what I need to with only one of the brackets. I do need...
