I masked around the area, and with the help of my daughter inside the trailer, I mounted the assembly onto the hull with a thick bed of 3M 4200 adhesive sealant.Ī word of warning: 4200 is great stuff, but expensive and once opened, you have to use the tube within 24 hours or it will harden in the tube. Since the nutserts flare out behind the aluminum plate, I had to drill larger holes in the fiberglass for clearance. I used clear RTV sealant on the bracket and screws for easy removal.

I used 5 mm steel threaded nutserts and metric Philips panhead screws to hold the steel bracket on, after trimming the bracket ears that are intended to clip over a license plate. The camera and bracket can easily be removed from the mount without disturbing that part, in case the camera fails. All work was done with a hacksaw, file and hand drill, with finish work on a bench top belt sander. I added a crescent cutout so that the camera could point down far enough and still be protected. I can easily access the camera and adjustment screws from the sides.

I wanted a full shield on top to divert rain and objects, and also a smaller lip on the bottom to protect the underside. The material is 6064 T6 (tempered aircraft grade) aluminum, from a 2x2x10 inch a scrap I picked up at the local metal supplier for $4. I ordered the 50 extension cable that is optional, since the camera pigtail is only about three feet long. The camera and mount are delicate, but in the mount I fabricated they are well protected from a wayward branch or hail stone. This will get the camera up high where it can get a good panoramic view and also be up and out of the way. I laid everything out carefully using a bubble to align with the trailer cross belt line, and positioned the bracket on a relatively flat part near the bottom of the available space.

Revealed to you is more crappy wiring ( There is 6 inches of free hull area below the LED riding lights and lots of room to maneuver if you stand on a small step stool. The only tricky part is behind the pantry insert.Īccess to the inside of the rear wall of the hull is easy once you lower the two side panels and pull down the insulation. Running the coax is easy since there is a continuous wiring 'trough' all the way along the left side. It has easy access from the 6 inch round port in the head cabinet. For mounting the transmitter, I was originally going to run dc power and the Garmin antenna coax to the front closet, but in looking at the limited access at the entry door I decided it was going to be too much of a pain, so I settled on the small wiring compartment immediately aft of the head, street side.
