Changes to the storage compartment

Well I was bored today no Theraphy today and my sholder is better but I needed to get my mind off the aches so I thought HMMMMMM wildcat fix. well to make a long story short I have a few pics with comments.
I soldered all of the poor crimp on terminals that the RV people did and some that Forest River did.
Made new wires for the Batteries Because before they were two different Gauges and hooked strange?
Turned Pump so that first battery and cover could be removed without forcing it past.





















And Yes I did Vacuum up after myself.

I like the idea of the dual battery boxes, it cleans up the area nicely
Job well done

Originally The RV dealer put the second battery box on top of the floor and I cut out the floor and recessed the box just like the other one.

Very impressive! We appreciate the photos - thanks.

Man U got more parts and pieces for the HYD pump than I have ever seen. All I have is wires. What are all the toggle switches for?

GREAT JOB!!!

Ditto on "what are all the toggle switches for?"

That is my safety switches for the front jacks and rear stabilizers and the slides manuel control.

That is cool, set up and turn them all of. Kinda curious why U would turn the slides off. It would come handy if you were working inside and forget to check for clearance. Interesting.

That curcuit breaker on yours we never had at all.

The Safety for the slides is controlling the switch to the left to shut it off to keep something from trigging the momentary switch inside the compartment.

The left two now on top are for the Hydraulic pump one is 50 amps the other is 20 amps I guess that makes it 70 amps.
The one in the middle is for the awning and converter and is 30 amps.
The next one down is for the front jacks and is 30 amps.
The last one is for the rear stablizers and is 30 amps.

They never put those animals in my trailer. Even when I had HYD jacks.

I noticed that all the breakers are joined with a copper strip but where is the power input? I would have thought that it was wired on the copper strip.

That was but at that point I had already removed them for moving. If you go back to the Pics the 7th one down shows how it is hooked up now.......

OneTonFord where did you get the extra battery box?
I have been looking all over for that.

The dealer installed it they must have them.
I never asked them to install second battery I was going to but they beat me to the punch.

Are you related to MacGyver ? Thats some serious tooling.
Looks good

Great job! Sure cleans things up.

I toyed around with the wiring too, but this is all I could do....The cover hides the batteries quite nicely. And no, the battery box is NOT vent, the whole front compartment is due to the generator on the left. Notice the aluminum plate behind the pump. It serves as a firewall. Keeps things fairly organized in the compartment behind the firewall.

I see these breakers on these systems and wonder why FR never installed them on mine?
