I'll be doing as many videos on this car as I can, but as you'll see in the next few videos, I have some other higher priority projects going on so I'll sprinkle Nova content in as I can.

As a builder, you learn that bearing is a far better method of carrying a load than ledger where the fasteners are carrying the load. In any event, what is the “board” you referred to using prior to gluing the membrane? Many panel materials (cement..) have no real structural integrity.
@assemblyrequired112 күн бұрын
That's definitely true! I've adopted the idea that, where ever I can, only depend of fasteners to hold a member in place, not to transfer a load. I believe the board I was referring to there was the 1/4" Plywood that I used. Its doesn't play as much of a role in the structure of the floor as much as it does just an underpinning to protect from road debris/water. Thanks for watching and commenting!

From what I can see online. The hitch that I used fits the 2500's from 2001 to 2010 and some of the 3500's from 2007 to 2010. It mentions a single cross member in the bed. So, it sounds like it may work, but no guarantee that it would. I would do some research on it first. Thanks for watching!

@assemblyrequired13 ай бұрын
@shawnasage8499 oh boy, it's been a long time since I bought that stuff. I would estimate around $200-$250 for supplies depending on the size of the area. That would be 1/2" plywood, some 2x4's paint, the underpinning material some hardware and a little insulation. As for tools, you'll need a circular saw for sure and a drill/screw driver of some sort. I'm sure I used my sawzall and my tablesaw also. It's hard to answer it all in a comment, but that should be a good start. Hope that helps!

@sandyginn860 it's hard to know without seeing it, I would want to find out why it shifted. Is the floor rotten around the frame, but the center is fine? Bracing is fine, but there is obviously something wrong with the structure of the floor that caused it to sink. If the floor was good before being moved, it is compromised now because of the weight or something. Sorry that happened, wish I could help more!

@assemblyrequired16 ай бұрын
Hey @SunDeveledEgger, it worked out great!......for a while. Fencer was great, the remote feature was awesome and we were holding 7-8k volts even when the vegetation was up on the fence. Unfortunately a few months ago something killed the fence charger, I'm assuming lightning. I came out and the GFCI breaker that it was plugged in to was popped, tried resetting and it immediately tripped again. Plugged the fencer into a standard outlet and it was dead. The fencer does have a 3 year warranty so I need to get it sent in to be looked at and I'm sure they will take care of it. Possibility that not being able to get all of the grounds in for the lightning arrester came back to bit me. For now I have a gallagher 16 joule that is doing ok, but you can tell that its not as powerful. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! Galvanic corrosion, understood.
@della999997 ай бұрын
I'm curious what the problems with using treated lumber are?
@assemblyrequired17 ай бұрын
The issue I was referring to is something called Galvanic Corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is when two metals are in "electrical" contact and it causes one of the metals to corrode faster than the other. That is a very simplified definition. Treated lumber is treated with chemicals that contain copper and chromium, these metals can cause this corrosion. This is why there are screws and nails that are specifically designed for use on treated lumber. They are generally galvanized or coated with something that will "electrically insulate" the fastener from the chemicals in the wood. My concern wasn't the fasteners so much as it is the frame of the camper. The corrosion doesn't always happen, but when it does its pretty damaging. Hope that was a long winded enough answer!
