I was able to build the battery box support this afternoon and secure the battery box to the trailer. I was also able to get the battery charger, shore plug installed as well as install the 8 gange switch panel. Tomorrow morning I am planing on finishing the wiring by installing the fuse panel.

I took the trailer out for the night on it first madien voyage. I still have a few things to workout but overall I am happy with the build. By far of all the upgrade I did I would have to say the electric brakes is my favorite Mod. I drove 305 miles yesterday and drove back today. The brakes worked flawless.

I spent all day today working on the Battery box. I now have two cabin lights, rear backup trailer lights, two blower fans inside the cab and a Bluetooth radio with weather alert. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Well I finally did it. Brand new Tepui Grand Sabana
Purchased and trying to figure out the best way to install it on the trailer. In order to make the installation a one person process I purchased a receiver lift and 16" receiver tube. The receiver tube hooks up to the rear leveling bracket where I keep the license plate. The jack plugs into the receiver.

The trailer has been put away for the winter. Spring project is to install the 100 watt solar panel and controller that just came in.

Awesome build. I'm going to shamelessly use some of your ideas. You've done a great job and I'm very happy with your thread?

What did you use for reverse lights? I did the 12v conversion and swapped bulbs, but when it is put in reverse the brake lights just get brighter!

I don't think the military lights came with reverse light option. If you look at the picture of the topper I have I added lights to it which have white reverse lights on it. In order to make it work I used one of the blackout wires from the main junction box under the trailer and spliced in the reverse Lee's from the 7 pin cable. I extended the wire up to the new lights on the topper.

I removed the covers from the black-out lights, installed a regular white bulb, and wired the black-out light circuit into the reverse connection of the hitch harness.
