Food Truck Electrical DIY Series

[@jakobyparker94]

Hey frank I seriously appreciate the videos brother I can tell they are gonna be a huge help. I just bought a 8x14 trailer to turn into my gourmet grilled cheese box. As of now it’s just a shell nothing has been done yet and I’m not really sure the order of the steps to take to start the build. If you could lay out like a basic order you do things that would be huge brother. Appreciate you

[@fbaltierrez]

Thank you for that feedback. There is no real order to be honest. But I would say. Window, hood, floors, Electrical, walls, ceiling

[@mountainflowerconcessionai2656]

Do you have a video of building the walls, ceiling on the trailer frame?

[@ewalk0331]

Frank, I find your videos very helpful as I start my journey; thank you. I’m looking forward to your plumbing installation. Any way you could also provide a diagram to that install as well?

[@ZaratesTacos]

Thanks Frank, I'm working on the walls and electrical now. Id like to get up and running in the next 2 months. I live close to Kankakee which is near you. ZARATES TACOS coming soon brother

[@fbaltierrez]

Super close. 2 months for sure very very possible. You got this

[@murphdivers286]

Thanks frank for all of the videos. I sent you an email about electrical if you have time to answer it. I would really appreciate it. Thank you again for the time and effort you put into these videos

[@jasonguerrette565]

I noticed the back ramp door. What are you doing with the spring roller at the ceiling ?

[@fbaltierrez]

You just cut around it. I don't touch those

[@timrides]

question, do you need a fire suppression statement as well as a hood?

[@fbaltierrez]

Good morning, You need a fire suppression inspection tag.

[@felipemartinez2452]

hi frank, by any chance, do you cover how the 6ga wire is ran underneath the truck? is it through pvc? alone or??? please help.. thank you

[@fbaltierrez]

It's ran alone, it has heavy duty jacket on the wire.

[@felipemartinez2452]

@@fbaltierrez thank you so much!!💪💪

[@mountainflowerconcessionai2656]

Do you insulate the entire trailer?

[@coreybizzaro4428]

Hey Frank. Love the videos. Are you also connecting the grounds?

[@fbaltierrez]

Yes you would connect those, but grounds are there mostly for protection those won't affect the performance typically.

[@coreybizzaro4428]

@@fbaltierrez Thank you!

[@anibal8944]

Does the outlets and switches need to be a specific high

[@fbaltierrez]

For us there is no requirement. Check first to see if there is if not. Typical height is 48 inches

[@MarkLane-g2i]

Does the breaker box need to be a door? I’m doing a horse trailer it would be more convenient to have it at the front of my trailer.

[@MarkLane-g2i]

Should read near a door.

[@jessetaniguchi4197]

What kind of wire did you run from the power inlet box to the breaker box? Where can I find it?

[@fbaltierrez]

At your electrical supply would probably be the most inexpensive route. Soow cable

[@vivienneallthatmatters5944]

Need to know alll the plumber info

[@fbaltierrez]

It was all DIY. no outside plumber

[@journeymegabounce3276]

Do the frp have to be smooth white? The Home Depot in my area don’t have smooth at the moment

[@fbaltierrez]

It doesn't have to be but it looks 100% better than the pebbled one.

[@outbackandyfoster7040]

Frank can you tell me brand and model number of the breaker box you used?

[@outbackandyfoster7040]

Thanks Frank for that fyi I'm building a small 12 x 6 ice cream trailer

[@gregunderwood9244]

Do you happen to know the amp draw on the exhaust fan? I just can’t find anything on it anywhere. I don’t imagine it’s that much but I wanted to add up my total amps and I can’t seem to find it anywhere

[@fbaltierrez]

I do not. You can call them to get the exact amps but if I remember correctly it was not much draw

[@michelleduanpenadelgado5164]

Hola Frank estoy intentando traducir la información se me hace difícil el inglés será que puedas compartir una foto del diagrama eléctrico.Graciás

[@fbaltierrez]

Hola Hola. Diagrama no tengo uno. Si quieres uno lo puedo hacer. Pero manadame un email a [e-mail]

[@AnaRivera-jm2ke]

Podrías poner otro generador solo para trabajar el A/C?

[@fbaltierrez]

Yo digo que si se podra. Yo no uso AC

[@jerryjenkins322]

You gonna hook up a ground on that

[@markworley3980]

My electric said that was the wrong wire

[@fbaltierrez]

14 gauge copper wire is pretty much 14 gauge copper wire everywhere in the United States. Don't know what he was referring to? Maybe the outside jacket is what they mean and that differes with different local requirements
