nice job, love your build.
I see your trailer light hook up, you have the wires coming out on the left rear lights, how did you run the wire for the right side?, I can only see the left rear tail lights in your pictures
tks

Funny thing about that right turn signal [emoji33] ....it was too hard to run a wire across to the harness and havent figured out where the harness runs in the body yet. Got both side brake lights, running lights, and a left turn signal right now.

lol, I was thinking you cant turn right ,lol.
well I'm thinking I will run the right side the same as left, bring it down behind the bumper and across to the right side, I think I will join all the wires into a box with the converter in it, I will run the pos wire for the converter to the start battery, with everything in a little water tite box, I will run the wire flat plug out of it to the trailer wires, should work ok.
thank you

So wound up ahead of a full size white and green skoolie today. Had a little porch on the back with a bike on it. Only got a pic at the light.

Nonpotable water tank wont fit under rack...off by a couple inches. $35 for 16 gal. I will keep it and just mount it to the top of the roof rack. Good for washing hands and dishes. I might go pick up another one. I need to buy or make an eight foot garden hose and by a sprayer nozzle. Long enough to work with but not long enough to drag on the ground.

To bad about the water tank.
Is your paint job still growing or am I just seeing new areas? It looks good. I like the way you painted the flasher lights.

What happened to the idea of large PVC pipes to store the water? Could probably fit them under the roof rack.

Cost and time. It was going to cost more for the pvc parts AND time to assemble/mount. If northern tool specifications were right, this tank would have fit under the rack. I still may see if i can make it fit under.
PVC would have been fun to build though.

If you find yourselves in Colorado you really should try to check out St Mary's Glacier.
not the best picture, but the back of Roxy's head is glorious!

Sounds like a plan.
Here is the link for anyone else that wants to try it.

Thar she blows. Back feeding in water worked like a charm. 17 min of letting the water run out. Looks like about a half tank left. I've got a 15' hose from the tank down to the single shut off valve and the spray nozzle on that. All done at 25 min
