More Wiring

Yesterday I went into town and picked up more supplies for the trailer. I got some wire loom (1/4 and 1/2") and some wire holders with rubber grommets. Most of the night was spent looming the wire, and bolting it into place. It was a fairly straightforward job.

I started at the front marker lights and worked my way back to the taillights, then up the tongue to the plug.

When we installed the lights, we left about a foot extra on each wire, so there's a lot of room to make slpices later, if the wire starts to wear. This excess was just folded over itself and bunched up in the wire loom, then taped to keep it from coming apart.

After looming all the wire, I was almost sad that the trailer would soon have a deck hiding all that nice looking wiring.

Here's a sneak peek at what the trailer will look like with the deck on. I picked up the lumber today for the deck and the rail sides. The deck is 5/8" pressure treated plywood. The rails will be made using the 2x4 and 1x6 pressure treated planks.

Next Step: Paint

Costs To Date: (not including wood, because it's not installed yet and thus the fat lady has not yet sung about that part of the project)
