The 12 Volt Side of Life

[Joanne]

Thanks for your help Kerry. I tried to find a book at Chapters today on wiring and the guy there just looked at me like I was nuts. Maybe I am

Hi Kathy,

You might try one of the local RV centers or a boat store like West Marine. Both of those types of places have books on 12v systems. One is named the 12-Volt Bible for Boats. Although it's for boats, the information will work for a tear too.

Cathy,

Take a look at this thread: http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=1317

Scroll down to mikesch's entry about the Cubby electrical and I think that will help you quite a bit.

Thanks Kerry. I think I'm starting to get this stuff figured out. I went by the trailer yesterday only to discover that all the wires I'd duct taped in place last week had fallen down. Apparantly duct tape doesn't stick to fiberglass. I though duct tape was supposed to stick to anything! The one thing my ex made sure I had lots of was duct tape. He left me at least 6 rolls of the stuff! Anyways, looks like I have to run the wires again. And I forgot to take the camera again. One of these days I'll get my act toether.

Cathy,

In my experience, Duct Tape will stick to almost anything. The real trick is, that it does not always stay 'stuck' to some things. The humidity is a real factor and how 'dust free' something was when the tape was put on. Temperature can effect the adhesion also.

I'm sure that things will get better as you progress along!
