Hi thank you so much for this video! I'm having the same issues in the same camper except it's my dining/kitchen area. Can you give me an idea of what I am looking at cost wise? If I do it myself. Also major tools I will need? I would appreciate it tremendously!
@assemblyrequired129 күн бұрын
@shawnasage8499 oh boy, it's been a long time since I bought that stuff. I would estimate around $200-$250 for supplies depending on the size of the area. That would be 1/2" plywood, some 2x4's paint, the underpinning material some hardware and a little insulation. As for tools, you'll need a circular saw for sure and a drill/screw driver of some sort. I'm sure I used my sawzall and my tablesaw also. It's hard to answer it all in a comment, but that should be a good start. Hope that helps!

Hey @SunDeveledEgger, it worked out great!......for a while. Fencer was great, the remote feature was awesome and we were holding 7-8k volts even when the vegetation was up on the fence. Unfortunately a few months ago something killed the fence charger, I'm assuming lightning. I came out and the GFCI breaker that it was plugged in to was popped, tried resetting and it immediately tripped again. Plugged the fencer into a standard outlet and it was dead. The fencer does have a 3 year warranty so I need to get it sent in to be looked at and I'm sure they will take care of it.

Thanks! Galvanic corrosion, understood.
@della999994 ай бұрын
I'm curious what the problems with using treated lumber are?
@assemblyrequired14 ай бұрын
The issue I was referring to is something called Galvanic Corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is when two metals are in "electrical" contact and it causes one of the metals to corrode faster than the other. That is a very simplified definition. Treated lumber is treated with chemicals that contain copper and chromium, these metals can cause this corrosion. This is why there are screws and nails that are specifically designed for use on treated lumber. They are generally galvanized or coated with something that will "electrically insulate" the fastener from the chemicals in the wood. My concern wasn't the fasteners so much as it is the frame of the camper. The corrosion doesn't always happen, but when it does its pretty damaging. Hope that was a long winded enough answer!
