you have convince me not to get it!!!!! :)
@@danielcantrell9227 not to get what?
Just got this too. Surprised, unlike any other controllers, it says to connect solar first, not battery. Crazy. Tiny tiny. Cheap $30. Wish it was ip69 and usbc in/out
@FranklinBryan I was a bit concerned about the reverse hook up. I hooked to that battery first without an issue.
@FranklinBryan thank you for subscribing to our channel. We recently moved and haven't had time to do more videos but there are more coming soon
Thank you.
@@anonymous.369 you're welcome
Great ideas. Thank you!
@@anonymous.369 I glad you like it.
It’s a good thing others have imaginations . I’m great at copying genius ideas.
@rickthompson7162 hey its not all my original idea. I used things I saw from other people and made them work for me. I'm glad you find the idea worth using!!! Enjoy your projects.
I use a couple Tractor Supply ratcheting load bars to stop cargo where I want it. One is employed most of the time stopping my heavy duty plastic step stool from leaving the tailgate area as well as any other short term cargo.
I almost finished building one like the one in your video. When I thought I was done I discovered there is an import small block of wood in the video that wasn’t discussed which I believe addresses the issues I encountered. 1: It helps align the panel cutting grid against the side of the 425. 2: That also gets the weight of the heavy panel close to the side of the 425 to help prevent tipping of the 425. 3: I believe there is an angle cut that keeps the swing arms tilted slightly which will keep the top of the panel from falling away from the panel cutting grid. I used 30” from the top of the grid to where a panel rests in the hook. I thought it would put the pivot point about midway on a 4’x8’ panel. I’ve never used one of these before so I had to learn. I tested with a 2’x4’ panel on one of the arms. When pivoting the panel in the 4’ orientation I learned to push the top of the panel which kept the panel in the hook. When I tried to pivot the panel in the 2’ (less than 30”) orientation there is no such thing as a sky hook to hold up the upper edge of the panel when the swing arms drop down. Ha, Dumb! Tomorrow I’ll add the small blocks of wood. Looks promising, thanks for the video.
@@raymondyunker9962 I apologize for not pointing out the stop block. Mine stop at 90 degrees. I didn't want to have the lift legs sticking out to cause a trip hazard. I'm glad you found this idea useful enough to implement it into your shop!!! Have fun with your projects!
I also like to and need to adapt and create for multi use and take down because I only have a TINY workshop. Once this versatile grid is disassembled the two 425s continue to have seemingly infinite uses. How did you cut the deep notches in the 2x8s for the 2x4s? Was it a handsaw and chisel?
@raymondyunker9962 I cut the deep groves with a jigsaw. Check out my other videos about the workmates. There are some ideas about making them more versatile. If you like those ideas please subscribe. I'll have more videos coming out soon
That’s Genius Ideas
@@edgnazdowsky9475 I'm glad you like the idea. I hope you find it as useful as I do
U an awesome. M. F. Copy dat. 10-4
@johnchevis8531 I'm glad you liked the video. I hope it helps you
What size are the sliding bins that's in the bathroom with the bungy cords and where did you get them?
@sunnydaisy5906 we got them from the Container store. I don't remember the size and our rig is a couple of hours away from home. But you will need to measure your cabinets to get a size that works for you
Great idea to increase the utility of the workmate. I’ve always thought there should have been a place to store the dogs on board. You solved the problem with 0 downsides.
Thank you for the kind comment. Please check out my other videos showing ways to increase the utility of the workmate.
That is the slickest idea I have ever seen. Thanks
Thank you for the great review
That's brilliant. Thanks.
I'm glad you like the idea. I hope you find it as handy as I do. Check out my other videos. You may find some other useful ideas.
Hell ya. I have the same issue with my new ford superduty. Just did 9000 miles. Tired of putting work gloves as a pad. Also on the ford the camera hits it dead on. Thanks
I hope it works well for you!
Great design ! Hope you don't mind if I copy this . I too have two work mates , and like the idea of using both in this manner . Thanks so much !
COPY AWAY!!!! I'm glad you found this idea useful. If you would, could you please like and subscribe to our channel. It really helps
a small paint roller handle (without the rolller) on a paint stick works betterthan a boat hook and cheaper. It will pierce a cardboard box if necessary. Also use 1" conduit clamps bolted upside down to your bed rails. Makes a perfect cradle mount. No fussing with paracord
Thanks for the comments and the ideas!
I've been using that same setup with the 4" paint roller handle on an extendable pole. I've been through 3 so far, they break and I have to tape them to the pole so they don't twist over time. The boat hook looks much better and rugged, I will give it a try.
@@guilestan2743 I'm glad you like the idea. That boat hook is about 5 years old and hasn't broken yet.
@@ziggysworkshop8784 Absolutely! And the gorilla platform idea, mind blown, I have 4 of them and will start using that idea as well. Very smart, thank you!
@guilestan2743 thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad you find them useful.
good job
Thanks for the great tip my friend!
You are quite welcome!
Great ideal I like it I have two of those platforms. Thanks
I'm glad you like the idea and find it useful!!
I have a large shop "area" but when the cars go in at night it becomes very small. Tips for small work areas are really useful for me as well as things that have more than one use. Glad to see you back making more videos.
Hi Chuck, my cars don't live in the garage, but I need to be able to pull them in for service so everything needs to be on wheels or be able to be knocked down. I'll have more videos soon. Thanks for the kind comments!
I have just purchased a Workmate 425 and your videos have been some of the best I have seen at making the basic bench even better. Thank you!
Chuck, thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad you've found them useful. I have more videos coming. We had to take some time off. Moved to a new state, new home, and building out a new shop so the videos had to take a pause
Temp sensor should be strapped against your battery or batteries.
Thank you!
This work on Our Ford at 3/4 percent and only 1/2 for Our GMC. SO not a fix all for all, very, very cool though. We like it anyways for now the controls are directly in use for the driver.
Darn. I would have liked it to work for all
Great hacks 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for watching. I hope you found our ideas useful
2023 Winnebago 2108 power jack had no holes, a simple center punch, drill bit, tap we are rotated
Great tip thanks
You are very welcome. Happy Camping!
Perhaps a Command hook could go on the wall in between the faucet and bathroom cabinets to thread the bungee cord through to secure both doors?
Great idea. Thank you! Happy Camping
I just bought the type 1 at an estate sale for $10.
Congratulations on a great find. I hope its in good condition. Have fun with your projects!
Hi Ziggy! I enjoyed your honest Allto critique videos! I have 3 of these panels, and am adding a 4th because they perform so well!! I want to add an extension wire like you did. My question to you is what gauge is the wire on the 25ft extension wires you added?? Is it the same gauge of the original wires that came with the panel (which I'm not sure what that wire gauge is)?? I've seem different gauges available for extensions (on amazon and elsewhere) with the SAE connectors. Also, are you aware that your affiliate link page says that the product is unavailable (but it is available on other page links directly on the amazon site)?? Thanks in advance for the info!!
Hey RockerBruce, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I used the same gauge wires. I'm sure my affiliate link isn't working because I had to pause from making videos for a while and haven't kept up on my affiliate page either. We are in the process of moving, and I haven't had the time. When we get settled in, I'll get back to it
Ok. What was the wire gauge size??@@ziggysworkshop8784
@rockerbruce1 I don't remember but it matched the wires off the panel. Unfortunately my TT is in VA and I'm in NJ so I can't look at them to give you a definite answer. I apologize for that
It's ok... thanks for replying. It's good info to know that you still had good charging results when using the same gauge with much longer distance wires (I'm assuming). I'm relatively new to solar powering, but have learned pretty much everything I needed from guys like you on CZcams! Many thanks for taking your time to share with others your knowledge! Good luck with your move Ziggy!! @@ziggysworkshop8784
Hi ziggy! Just so you know, The original wire size is 16 awg. @@ziggysworkshop8784
Do you have to have the trailer hooked up to the truck?
No you don't. I did mine with the stabilizer jacks down on the trailer just to be safe
Great idea, thank you
brilliant...thx for the idea!
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad you like the idea. Have fun with your projects!
Good video, tanks
I'm glad you liked it. I hope you found it helpful
Don’t do this just recently lost my trailer and everything in it because of having it mounted
We use tension rods to keep things from moving around in our fridge and other places.
Thank you so much you just made life a lil easier I really like your video and I’m not spending a ton of money I don’t have again THANKS!!!!
Problem I have is that LCI did not have the opposing holes on my 2021 trailer ! I will have to drill new holes, hope I drill the correct hole size (not 5/16", it's smaller) and hope I get them properly aligned 180 degrees front to back. There is much room for a slop factor. Then I will need to tap the holes. I might get lucky.
It sounds like you have some skills. You got this. Happy Camping!
Just did same too easy
Great video. I’m going to do this soon.
How long ago did u get those for closet
Each bin is 18 inches long. 10 inches high and 10 inches wide. They came from the Container Store. I think the item number is 10054678
@@ziggysworkshop8784 Looked it up and still have Thank you
Do u have dimensions on them
Hmmm my 2022 Tundra doesn't hit the power jack
Some hit some don't. I'm glad yours doesn't.
Seems like they should have thought about this during the design phase of the power head.
Or the design phase of the trailer
Great ideas thanks
I'm glad you liked them. I hope you can put some to use in your rig. Happy Camping!
These are not "hacks."
I use a clothes pin too. 😊
Great minds think alike!
That is simple and functional in other words perfect.

@@ziggysworkshop8784 you're welcome!
I love the idea of using that awesome bench thing in so many ways! I have a hard time reaching into my truck bed, similar to yours! And using that long hook too! Genius for short girls like me! Lol where can I get that bench from?
@@ziggysworkshop8784 thank you! Also I love your dog! I think I heard you say her name is Sweet Pea, that's adorable!!
