Surthrival Trailer Mark 1 Update #27

Hello fellow Steemians and beautiful Human beings!

Tonight I worked to complete the wiring for some of the rooftop panels and provide a conduit path inside the trailer to keep the wires stable during transport. I also put in a magnetic door screen to allow for ventilation and keep out bugs from the trailer.

I began by running velcro strips down both sides of the doorway that came with the door screen. I cut the adhesive velcro strips with my scissors from my leatherman tool.

I put another strip at the top of the doorway and leaving some additional screen at the bottom.

I pressed the rest of the screen down to the velcro.

Here's the result.

I measured out and cut a piece of metal conduit with a hacksaw.

Using some self tapping screws I installed some 1/2" conduit hangers.

I cut a piece of 10 awg solar wire that was included with the Sol-ark system.

The wire's have + and - MC4 connectors pre attached on both ends of the wire. In order to feed through the LB I cut the wire in the center.

The + and - MC4 connectors will be connected at the beginning and end of the string of 3 of the roof panels. They will be connected in a series configuration. This is done by connecting the + to the - connection of each panel and leaving a + and - connection at the end of the string. (I will show this detail in another update)
