Surthrival Trailer Mark 1 Update #16
## Good Evening Everyone

More Progress is happening on the trailer today with the install of an 3/4" LB to route the cables inside the trailer.

## I used a 3/4" diameter hole saw and came down from my angle steel around 3.5" to give me enough room to drill. I chose this location to center all the wiring coming into the trailer. I will be centering my battery bank and Sol-Ark system above the axels.

## Just put the LB into the hole for a dry fit. It sits just a little loosely in the hole that was just drilled.

## I'm using a clear GE II silicone to seal this junction box from the elements.

## Using my knife I cut an angle for the nozzle and poked a hole using my caulk gun to get the silicon to flow.

## I put a bead of silicone around the backing of the LB.

## I used a paint roller as a prop to allow the silicone to cure.

## I took this pvc fitting from another junction box I'm using for my tankless water heater, its a 3/4"x/1/2 " PVC fitting that fit just inside the LB I primerd and glued this to the LB.
