I don't think the parallels you've drawn where correct so I tossed in a couple of "domestic truck" pics. The RV Industry is renown for poor engineering. Channel frames bend and fatigue crack. I've welded the cracks in a few aluminum and steel frames. Before a complete failure a bent frame...

I figured that I didn't need 12V cigarette lighters so I installed 9 dual / single UBS C sockets. One after another they burned out. I replaced all of them with 12V cigarette lighters that I can plug a USB chargers into.

How about a couple of plastic acorn nuts.

Need rubber caps on the end of the bolts

I consider AC cords but on that end of the system I wanted the least amount of loss.....AC wire is not tinned, cord ends have screw connections and I wanted 8ga wire for 100' runs.......if we didn't use so much power we wouldn't have to worry about the loss though.

No evaporation with NG so no problem. Lately I've had gas with treatment go bad after in 10-12 months and it is getting harder to find non ethanol gas. Started using Aspen 4 in a couple of the tools that don't use much gas. https://aspenfuel.co.uk/products/aspen-fuel/#a4

Something to be aware of is the output of the Yamaha 2000w is 13.5A while the output of the Honda 2000 are protected with a 20amp breaker. Using a Honda 2000 it is possible to overload a 15amp plug/cord (connected 30A or 50A service) with a Honda 2000. The same goes for 30amp (connected to 50A...

I've had the female side of an SAE connector fail many times that I'd use on a regular bassis. The socket expands then I'd try to squeeze it down but it would be out of round.......

I got to thinking about the generators we use to put together. Each leg of the 220VAC had single pole Camlock connector like this. These are the bulkhead connectors with the caps

Post #12.....not sexy but the same plug will be there after the pin/sleeve connectrs have been replaced once or twice.

You want a plug that can be used outside rain or sun.....dropped in the dirt and keeps going. These are mine.

Rubber boots are available Anderson plugs but I don't use them. Any connection mounted with the receptacle facing up is going to get water in it unless it is covered or in the desert. I have 8 sets of Andersons that latch on my panels. They lay on the ground in rain/snow and the best part is...

Come through the roof with a 90 degree strain relief. Anderson plugs have mounting hole(s) in the middle that can be used secure it to a block. The block is held to the roof with VHB tape

A roof top receptacle would fill with water and then short between the terminals. Cable glands (stain reliefs) + Andersons (2pcs) as dreadlocks mentioned.

Didn't get an answer to the corner molding. Are those rivets?

.....test it with a portable CO detector that starts reading at 0-5 ppm. Household CO detectors prevent immediate death and lower calls to fire stations. They are not designed to show the lower term exposure levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_detector From Wikipedia...

Trailer is heated and insulated but the tools rust the most when the heat is off and the trailer isn't being used. Hatches are not AT.

At the left end of the lower mounting tube for the tank there looks to be rivet in the corner molding. I've stopped leaving my saws/axes in the lower compartment of our trailer due to condensation. Also around 15F ice forms on the inside of the hatches. When the temp rises I open the hatches...
