Installing Expedition Camper marker lights & corner caps

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Always great to see the progress. We'll done with the lights

[@vantripping]

Thank you! Also great to have those corner caps on--it's starting to look like a camper.

and just a little tip on the side: if you feed both lines out of the hole on the same side to the shirnk connector, it is way easier to pull the connectors in afterwards ;)

[@vantripping]

Thanks for the tip.

KC Love to see the progress. Do you know any chance have the link for the scene down lights?

[@vantripping]

Great, thank you! Here is a link to the downlights: amzn.to/3kuOhMH

[@jordanbridge551]

I love those little down lights. Do you have a link or even a brand name for them please? I’ve not seen them here in Australia.

[@vantripping]

Thanks. The lights meet the safety regs while being very compact and barely protruding from the walls, so should survive or better yet avoid tree branches and other objects while not impacting aerodynamics as more protruding light would. Here is a link to the ones I bought (I think they're great): amzn.to/3CGi6QY

@@vantripping Fantastic thanks. I'll check them out. You can't believe how much excitement I get from your videos. Not in a creepy way. We ordered a new 15T Iveco EuroCargo 4x4 over 12 months ago. The latest delivery date is June. I think I've just about gathered most of the parts needed to build it. Now I just need it to turn up. Keep up the meticulous work.

@@jordanbridge551 Great, glad you're getting enthusiasm and ideas for your build. I'm excited to see your build when it gets underway. Not very far off.

Since the same Wagner heat gun I bought is no longer available, here is an exact look-a-like: www.amazon.com/Wagner-Furno-750-Heat-Gun-0503064/dp/B076T8N525/ref=sr_1_6?crid=8COT9JXJLHPK&keywords=wagner+heat+gun&qid=1673539152&s=hi&sprefix=Wagner+heat%2Ctools%2C252&sr=1-6

[@williammackey7243]

Which video shows where you got the panels and those connecting rails?

[@vantripping]

Are you asking about the composite camper wall panels and the pultrusions that interconnect them all?

@williammackey7243 Are you asking about the composite camper wall panels and pultrusions that connect them all together?

[@williammackey7243]

@@vantripping Yes Sir, please and thank you.

[@vantripping]

@@williammackey7243 You probably should hop on my channel and go thru the last 50 videos or so to see the material selections and installations up to now. Here are several videos of the camper build and installation which is a Total Composites camper and pultrusions made to my dimensions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqSykJqAmJqsa6M; kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6W0hGNpZbmnjqs; kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3i5foiubteBiNk; kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpO0lYSDjZWohdE.

Here is what looks like another great heat gun option: www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D26960K-Heavy-Duty-Display/dp/B007X2ATZE/ref=sr_1_7?crid=8COT9JXJLHPK&keywords=wagner+heat+gun&qid=1673539152&s=hi&sprefix=Wagner+heat%2Ctools%2C252&sr=1-7

And just soldered butt connectors: amzn.to/3GAONjW

[@DE-li7jt]

another one: if you ar crimping the connector, dont twist the wires, if you do, you build in an unplanned breaking point, should one of the wires detwist out of some reason.

[@vantripping]

Thanks for the tip. I needed to ensure the wires were all bundled together to ensure all of the stranded wires were inside of the connectors with just a light twist, not a forced one to your point which I've experienced before. Good clarification to make.
