Amateur Tries Trailer Wiring in a 70s Airstream ⚡️
Trailer wiring and re-wiring a 7-pin connector for a vintage Airstream is one of those "not sexy, but important" parts of a vintage trailer restoration project. As much as we love to travel, stopping is important too. In this video, I️ wire up all the trailer lights in our 1973 Airstream, install a breakaway switch, and hook up our trailer brakes. As with every other part of our vintage airstream restoration, nothing goes according to plan. Oh yeah, this whole time was a heat wave 🥵

    If you go north of the Tabernas Desert you reach the Gorafe Desert, which although not a 'true' desert is a spectacular Badlands landscape. Around this area there are also many cave houses, some renovated as modern houses and some you can stay in!

    I have no affiliation with Jackery - but in my experience everything they say about the power station here is true.

    I get it - there's a style of aquariums with a polished chrome trim from around the same time period that I've always been a big fan of, but never been able to find at the size I want. A user on a aquarium forum posted a screenshot of one (needing resealing) for sale at what would be a high price for a used contemporary tank of the same dimensions, intending to mock the person selling it as a bit delusional about what their tank was worth. I wish they'd included a location.

    • @Meghanandmatt

    • @Iflounder652
      @Iflounder652 8 дней назад

      ​@@Meghanandmatt So the reason a double seal window provides extra insulation is because still air doesn't transfer heat well. So the temperature from the outer pane doesn't transfer to the inner pane. Putting vent holes would allow the air to move slightly reducing the effectiveness. The more the air moves the worse the benefit. The big issue is even with vent holes you are likely to still get fogging. Which is probably why you haven't seen anyone do it.

    The charging network is a big deal when choosing an EV to roadtrip in, you would’ve had an entirely different experience if you ended up getting a Tesla. Zero guesswork, you just put in a destination and the car plans your entire charging route with estimated charging times for each stop. A huge plus with using the Tesla charges is when you get to one all you have to do is plug in and not have to bother paying with your card each time. The car is already registered with the supercharger network (for rentals with Hertz they would just bill you at the end of your rental for the charging cost)
