Before and After - 74 Boler

[TaniaD]

Thank you for posting the pics and info. I really enjoyed seeing how you did things as we are working on our "cracked egg" (It is in parts right now ) Ours came with no appliances, so we were looking at an old stove top with character or a new stainless steel. Still not 100% sure which way we we'll go, but leaning towards new. I looked at that exact same striped duck material as it is festive, but finally decided on denim as that fit us. Love the curtains!

Shawn, I noticed in your post about the "converter sound buzz", your fuse box and ground terminal box. I really like it and did not know this product existed. It is neat and protected and can be labeled. Where did you find this box? How much? Thank you.

Great upgrades so far. Mine too had mismatched side running lights with only two working. I know you are supposed to have red on the back corners and orange on the front corners, but I changed them all to orange LED's.

I also changed the back tail lights to the Princess Auto LED's. I added a porch light and put in a LED bulb, then wired the porch light switch to the running and tail lights, so when you turn the porch light switch on, all the exterior lights come on.

Looks great at night with it all lit up, get lots of comments in the campground

Beautiful refurb! What gauge conductors between the PD converter and the battery? I have the same converter on hand but have not installed. Attempting to decide between a physical swap with the old converter on the back of a Newmark distribution panel OR placing in a better ventilated locker in proximity to the battery. Thanks for the hint about the buzz in the "boost" mode. Saved some head scratchin in the learning curve.

Nice job you're doing! I really like the upgraded stove top.
The new electrics always give a peace of mind, too!

A few questions? That tongue box, how much does it weigh? I'd love to clean up my tongue, but don't want to add more than a few lbs.

Love that Prog. Dynamics converter, I'd probably go with that if mine wasn't new when I bought the Scamp. Did it come with the DC fuse/circuit panel? Or was that extra? If extra is that also a Prog. Dynamics product? Where are your AC breakers?

Hi Jayson,

I thanks for the info. I just tried to wire in a switch for the running lights. I really want to be able to switch on the running lights separately from my porch light. I ran a cable from a positive connection on my electrical to the brown wire on my 4 prong wiring for the trailer using a new switch. I'm not getting any light though. I'm wondering if this may be an issue with the ground?

Just figured I would run that by you.

Thanks,
Shawn

The boler didn't have an AC breaker. I'm thinking I need to add one. Just wondering if any bolers came with them?

Hello,

I used 8G wire for my battery connectors. The fuse box I am using came with a great wiring diagram (attached)

Tks for sharing! It was nice to see in person and now I get to see some of the previous pics. I was going to work on mine some more this week but getting it ready for our last camp out this year instead. Then it will be cozy in the garage ready for me to tackle some more. lol
