This is my new to me 2012 7x16 FastTrac enclosed trailer that will be my new trackday hauler.
Hooked up to my 2000 F-350 7.3 Powerstroke with a 6-speed manual.
Trailer came with an AC unit that was not exactly installed correctly. From what I could tell, they simply removed the roof vent and placed the unit in its place. Needless to say, the roof was starting to cave in which required some serious intervention. Didn't get a good photo of the damage, but the rear cross support was completely flat and not arched like the others.
I decided to double up the rear support and tie it into the walls and extend it further back to tie in the next closest cross support. I also needed to create a new mount for the AC unit that would allow me to weld the additional braces to.
New cross support bracing that was bent to match the curvature of the roof.
Next came insulation. The roof and walls will all be insulated to help with the Arizona heat.
Testing out some LED strips. I will run one of these on each side in the corner 'crown' molding. Should provide more than enough light and not drain the group 27 marine battery too quickly.
Got the roof plywood up and the AC back together. This will eventually get painted a gloss white as will the walls.
Insulation of the walls is up next. I purchased 3.5"x 15" fiberglass insulation that was then split into three even sections of roughly 1" thick insulation.
Installed a 4 breaker circuit breaker panel, Progressive Dynamics 45 amp battery charger and a DC fuse box. I will add a battery box to the tongue of the trailer. There is one GFI outlet at the front and an external outlet for plugging in tire warmers, I figured a GFI was a good idea considering ill have tire warmers plugged in outside of the trailer. The generator input is a Marinco 301ELB 30 AMP 125 V reciptical that is located at the front left so as to keep the generator as far away as possible.
The front will contain a cabinet with a workbench on the top. One side will house all of the electronics and the other will be for storage. The center section will be open to store the generator and later a small refrigerator. Here it is mocked up with a 4000 peak watt Harbor Freight generator.
Temporarily mounted the LEDs for this weekends Trackday. Got the workbench frame painted and fastened down. Still need to attach the doors and sides.
Spent way too much time on the switch plate. Put a piece of 1/4 aluminum in the mill to pocket the switch and put countersinks for the screws.
All loaded and ready for the trackday.
Overlooked the generators 13 amp per output limit which is 7 amps shy of the minimum needed to run the AC. Will be generator shopping following this weekend.
