AVION Travel Trailers

Only benefit I see is it speeding up the process. Although, I’d be wary of going that route. If you were, I’d recommend a DA sander/polisher(less likely to get hot spots). What you can clean by hand should be sufficient. I don’t believe using a machine will make much difference. You also run the ris...

No, I applied it by hand. I used the random orbital to sand down the corroded spots.

Hey John, wondering if you went through with your Everbrite plan. I’ve read everything Becky did and really want to get ours shined up this summer. We’ve done WD-40 a few times but have a six month trip coming up and want something more permanent and better looking to hopefully get the vintage waiv...

Phoenix and Conta-clip terminal strips for the bulk of the work. Size is dependent upon wire gauge expected. There is some overlap, for example, I have some larger terminals that will accept 6 - 12 gauge wire. Also, you can insert more than 1 wire in the terminal if need be. For stranded marine wir...

Just my 2 cents, there's a better way........ https://www.aviontrailers.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=865 https://www.aviontrailers.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=981 I like your “sense” Ian. That looks great. Yes, there is always a better way. What terminal blocks did you use? After researching your se...

Yes same breakers for the replacements on equal or similar loads. I would just run them to the battery post. I have been working for the transit system for 29 years. Not too much longer to go. I am building our retirement home and needed a trailer to improve our efficiency so that's why I'm here LO...

Thanks for the zoomed in pic. Looks like your install is coming right along. @Kep - I’m just curious why you don’t like split bolt connectors? Is it because of the effect road vibration might have? Do you feel the same about those Polaris connectors? They become loose over time due to vibration and...

Wow, that must have been a gnarly fire. Do you do setups for 18 wheelers? Looks like the rear end for one. Priceless info and the pics speak volumes. Much obliged, good sir. I’m curious as to the real life voltage drop with 8g, so I think I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ll replace the clamp bolt with a ...

Looks good except the clamp connector in the first picture. I would never use that type of connection on DC and would avoid it if possible for AC circuits earth grounds would be okay. The Dura seal connector crimps full circle on the wire then the heat shrink on it has a heat activated glue to seal...
