    I pulled it 70mph to New Orleans yesterday and the canopy didn't move so the delivery was a success. Of course the Chef for the Hog Fest event was very pleased, he's the one who needs it. Still have the Wash Station to fabricate but working on the camper today.

    Default Posting the Canopy Lighting

    I welded mounting tabs on the canopy frame so I could add lighting. These BBQ competitions you're working before daylight and after dark so my guys needed light. I ask them to order 3 of these 12 volt Spreader LED Flood Lights and I would install them.

    I terminated the Lites with marine grade Butt connectors and where I had dissimilar diameters in copper conductors I used Step-Down Butt connectors. If you look close at the connectors pictured the blue stripe inside the connector insulation designates the 14-16 gauge wire side where the other end is for 10-12 gauge wire.

    I ran all the wire internally in the pipe as much as I could.

    And tested the lites before pulling the trailer home.

    Catching up…wow did it turn out nice. I need to do my 12 ft landscape trailer this summer. This will be a great reference for the decking replacement.
