Here is this Australian build on the shorter wheelbase (point of comparison)

Here is this Australian much longer build on my wheelbase (point of comparison)

Can you confirm these are used under the bolt head, and not before the nut?

All methods that I know of for preventing the undoing of a fastener is done at the nut end.

Notice how Earthroamers hang way over the rear axle.

This is what I see

Obviously, if the fastener is only a bolt, you could not put the washers under the nut.
I have never used these washers on both sides of the fastener. I cannot see how that would be advantageous.

Where do you want to use NordLock washers in your build?

I can explain this later. My build has a different attachment to the habitat than most US builders.

My build has a subframe under the habitat floor. (the floor suspends 40 mm above the xps panel inside the living area) Then a mirror frame under the XPS panel floor (exposed below). A sandwich construction.

The complete habitat weights 1800 KG dry (about 4000lbs)

From that point the habitat is a unit. Now the spring suspended subframe made from 5 inch c-channel connects to the habitat unit and the truck frame.

I'm still at 11,600lbs dry weight complete.

The Australian design is made for a flatbed attachment like a slide in camper. My build is based on a European subframe.

This build below , although flatbed has a bolt through design with plates inside the living area.

You can used safety wire


PS- those pigtails should be bent or the next mechanic is going to want to kick your a** (and both would not pass aviation standards)

Puedo explicarlo más tarde. Mi construcción tiene un apego al hábitat diferente al de la mayoría de los constructores estadounidenses.

Mi construcción tiene una subestructura debajo del suelo del habitáculo (el suelo cuelga 40 mm por encima del panel XPS dentro de la sala de estar). Luego, un marco de espejo debajo del suelo del panel XPS (expuesto abajo). Una construcción tipo sándwich.

El hábitat completo pesa 1800 kg en seco (aproximadamente 4000 libras).

A partir de ese momento, el hábitat se convierte en una unidad. Ahora, el subchasis con suspensión de resorte, fabricado con un canal en C de 5 pulgadas, se conecta al hábitat y al chasis del camión.

Todavía estoy en 11.600 libras de peso seco completo.

El diseño australiano está pensado para una plataforma plana, como una caravana deslizable. Mi diseño se basa en un subchasis europeo.

Esta construcción a continuación, aunque es de plataforma plana, tiene un diseño con pernos pasantes con placas dentro del área de estar.

Keep an eye on your weight, because if you're not careful, you'll be over the maximum allowed weight.

You can used safety wire

You are absolutely correct, and there are castellated nuts and split pins too, but I was referring more towards non mechanical methods, like lock washers and lock nuts.
Out of those, the NordLock washers are one of the best at resisting continued, major vibration scenarios.

I have worked with a few people who own race cars and tie wire is used extensively in them, but tie wire is not the right option in every scenario.
There are a multitude of options when it comes to stopping nuts and bolts from working themselves loose. The skill is in using the most appropriate option for a specific situation.

Safety wiring is done when there is not a 'nut end'. If there is a 'nut', that is the preferred end of the fastener.
There are also locking tabs, but those are usually specific to an application.
