Have you checked the fuse holder in the inline harness? I’m betting you find a corroded fuse in there.

Where are you grounding? Did you say what type of vehicle? Check that your grounds are clean and then do a resistance test of your ARB wire in place. Might need a friend for extra set of hands. On edit... I’m guessing TJ is the vehicle. You can probably resistance test the whole harness...

It is hard to tell from your photo, but you are testing power in the socket? The place where you would plug in a cig lighter? You need next to divide and conquer. Unplug the DC cord from the back of the fridge. Plug the cord into the cig outlet and check for power where that cord plugs into...

Throwing parts at something is unlikely to help you. You have power at the end of the cord, so a wiring kit is NOT your problem. Isn’t there a fuse in the power panel in the back of the fridge? I don’t recall exactly. This community will generally help you figure this out.

Leaf springs? That might make a difference over an independent setup. Also, what wheels are you running?

Heavy melamine. Wash with water. Of course... now I have a dog one of the key selling points for me was that they are square, easier packing efficiency

Have you thought about building the wheels into the sides of the trailer instead of having outside fenders? It gives you more interior room and I think might be more aerodynamic, but a blowout is more likely to cause significant damage to the trailer.

I would imagine that 1/4” or even 1/8” black pipe is more than sufficient to that task. Pick whatever is cheap and easy to find. The OD of the floor flanges will probably drive your decision more than anything else.

Are you planning to tow at 80 mph with a Fiesta? Is a Fiesta something different than the little Ford bubble I have in my head? Can they even go 80? This is noted in some other threads here, but just because those little tires can hit, or are rated for, 80... doesn’t mean the wheel bearings...

Aside from staples, what will bond the canvas to the foam And then bond that to the flat floor/frame? The foam alone can make a very rigid box if you can essentially weld the seams. I’ve never worked with it, so I don’t know what products can bond it well. If it was firm enough, and you had a...

How are you framing the upper portion of the trailer? With a light duty lower frame, the wall frame can help provide a significant portion of the overall trailer rigidity, which should help tremendously with twisting.

Truck bed liner has a bad tendency to peel off of plywood. You are probably better off with just a good quality plywood and paint. Think about the span inside and across your frame members. 1/2” MDF will most definitely collapse through if you kneel in the wrong place. Plywood will be much...

I’m fairly certain that no 1988 Toyota that has ever been within 1000 miles of Maine looks that good. It might have been believable as a desert car.

I would stay away from MDF, especially in the flooring. It is heavy, holds screws poorly, and any twisting will tear it apart, assuming it doesn’t get wet and just melt. Your drawings aren’t really enough to get the whole picture in my head, but I’m guessing that you could go lighter on the...

Possibly curbstoning? All of the photos are taken in a residential neighborhood but the address listed is a commercial corner with a few sketch auto dealers a gas station and a collision center. I’m guessing a Vegas member could drive by tomorrow and confirm the existence of this rig?

Maybe discouraged by a vibration monitor that dumps tire air? It is an issue everywhere. Metal theftof all kinds remains an issue here too. I think it went down a bit when they started making scrapyards pay by mailing a check though.

Wait... they are available in colors? I didn’t order any because I thought I would have to paint / wrap my Jeep in FRP Orange texture! :oops:

I gave up on 5 tire rotations on my Jeep. The spare is always bent into a “dish” shape by the tire mount to the point where it can have huge balance and vibration nightmares any time you put it into operation. Put a framing square on it and look how bad it is, mine tends to be insane, so I...

You might want to draw out the force/vector diagram for that one. Just because the line of the force comes back into the same point or a similar point does not indicate that a problem is corrected. All of the components of the system still feel individual forces. The closest analogy that...

Pull fresh air, don’t try to recycle it. After 1 pass through it will have picked almost all the water it can, thus the second and third passes and so on will have severely diminishing returns... that is my guess. If that wasn’t true, home units would have return ducts, instead they just go...
