Today we climbed under the left side trailer wheelwell and slideout and repaired the electrical wiring destroyed by our tire tread separation back in the spring of 2018. I anticipated a complete nightmare while exposing the wiring harness, finding the wiring break and repairing it. As usual, I was incorrect.
Exposing the wiring was a pain in the butt and finding a comfortable place to recline on the sharp and jagged stones was fruitless but, surprisingly, we found the broken wiring and replaced it with a non-OEM wiring assembly. We used a coiled, heavy-duty 10′ tool extension cord which I cut the regular plugs off of and wired the bare ends into the remaining wiring harness ends. Surprisingly, it worked perfectly. We are quite amazed but very bruised due to the funky location we were obliged to use for our feeble efforts. Peggy bruises more than I do so she now appears almost speckled with purple dots which I can spot when leering at her nakedness.
Since we fixed the demolished cheesy plastic fender on the left side back in October, I believe the left side repairs are done and we can continue on into other stuff we really don’t know how to fix on the right side. We don’t think any wiring is involved but there are water piping insulation, wood deck and waterproofing issues we will need to address before we do any substantial driving on wet or damp roads. We already fixed the right side cheesy plastic fender that was shredded when the right side rear tandem wheel took a shit in Utah in September. We can now make out the light at the end of the tunnel.
