I have a 2015 FR3 forest river 30ft Class A, which I think has this type of cable system. My issues is note the cables I hope, but it sound like the Gear Box has buzzed threw the Gears. My Question is how do I remove the front Trim to get to the darn thing. Thanks for everyone suggestion in advance.

Your diagram shows panels wired in a series, but the way you were connecting them before that diagram got in the way seemed to look like parallel, the 400 watt system I got from Renogy was made to hook them parallel.

Liked the video. However I have watched a lot of these types of videos to change the cable and no one talks about the rubber patch on the outside. I would assume you need to replace them as well. Any info on how? What adhesive would you use?

It is running a dometic pwnguin 2, with a soft start installed. Its 2 amps shy of running both units. If you watch our remodel series, we have a duct improver installation that made a HUGE difference in how well a single unit cools the rig down

Good video, but that is certainly not how to tension the bearings. You'll burn the bearings up if you snug them down like that.

Curious about properly seating your bearings and adjusting proper tightness of retaining bolt. Is that not necessary on your trailer/axle?

Good video for beginners . Simple job & lots are afraid of it . Easier & cheaper than brake shoes & bearing change . Remind people snug that castle nut then back off 1/4 turn or so. And on the wires I think you meant Non - polarized . Ambidextrous means capable of using both hands with equal ease. And solder those wires if possible especially if it’s a marine use trailer 😉

Ok, the PEX tubing wire push is a great idea! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled trying to send a wire through a wall. Thanks 😊

Good video, obviously you've done this before. TX for no music! Some dust caps are much harder to remove than how easily yours popped off. If yours is real stubborn, use a small sharp cold chisel between the rib on the dust cap and the edge of the drum hub and tap lightly all around the circle until you get movement. Then tap a flat blade screwdriver in to wedge it out further, finally lay a round shank screwdriver between the rib and the hub and tap with hammer all around until you walk the dust cap off. I agree with others good idea to solder the wires rather than just twist together. Or use a crimp type butt connector. I like your idea to use heat shrink wrap, you always have to remember to put it on before you start the splice. Ask me how I know ha ha. That makes for a good watertight connection. I think the best way to get correct axle nut tightness is to snug up with about 25 lb/ft of torque, then back off one flat on the hex and install the retainer clip or cotter key if so equipped. I have checked this method with a dial indiicator gauge. You should be able to slide the washer around by gently prying with a flat blade screwdriver after assembly. Do this before installing the dust cap. You don't want to tow a trailer with the axle nut too tight, bearing will overheat.

Great video! Need your suggestion and opinion. I have a set of 4 new manually adjusting brakes and 4 new drums on my trailer. When I installed them I realized that both of my axels are covering brakes adjusting wholes.. There is no way to reach it with adjusting tool.. Any suggestions on how to work around it? Would I need to take off the wheels, adjust and put them back to try again?

I realize this is late, but they make different shape/size brake adjusting shoes to help get those hard to reach ones.
