Yup, another summer gone by and no insulation or furnace in the man cave. not to worry though, come fall time the name changes from man cave to "all the summer *#%€! has to go somewhere cave"
The main garage is insulated and I might get a heater going in there. No more kitchen table building like last year. Hate to say it but.... Not sure how much building is going to get done once the cold sets in

Thanks a lot for reminding of what's coming Reg...way to go mister west coast!

Haha. Not sure how effective you would be at handling tiny bolts with dry suit mittens. Sounds like you need to move out west where it's warm all year long.

Hey,
I got an idea for you why not just dig up your lawn where your roadway is and replace it with some cold patch what they use to fill in pot holes on the highways then you can paint some lines on "THE SUPER MARIO HIGHWAY".

Ya know Tony, that's a great idea! My original plan of build the road with RC equipment has changed. I have enough space to build another loading dock and gravel pit so instead of road building with Rc's , I want to be able to haul from one dock to another and same with dirt.
A cold patch highway would be a good solid, level base to run on, with lines and gravel shoulders of course ......hmmm , I know some people who may be able to provide me with lots of cold patch next spring during city road repair season.. ...
Thanks Tony. I'm really liking the idea Don't be surprised when you see pics posted of the new SM highway next spring

Thanks, can't wait till she's all done.

You have to send SS Tronix a email. Ask for pricing on a wireless kit and they will reply with pricing. Great people to deal with, always been a pleasure. They are in the UK. I always deal with Julie. Email is julie@ss-tronix.co.uk
Takes along time though. Once you place an order it's about 4-6 weeks before you get. They are made to order and not stocked on a shelf.

Chicken lights run off it for both truck and trailer. It has 2 , 2 amp relays for lights which equals about 60 lights per relay so lots of power.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you chose to use SS Tronix.

Hey mario great job on the lights for the trailer.... however....from the pics i see you have red l.e.d. lights over top of the reefer unit....ummmm....D.O.T states that those lights should be amber..
....it won't pass safety my friend...please surrender the plates to your nearest D.O.T. office or 24 hrs to correct it

Good eye Dwayne! I was wondering when and who was going to say something. Maybe the DOT won't let it pass but the S&M superhighway DOT says good to go!
A lesson for others......always test your LEDs for function and colour BEFORE installing and wiring!

Thanks Nathan. I have to admit though, Spudd put the mudflaps on and I chose to keep them and yes Sue is okay with them too.. They work well with the S&M theme...

Thanks Spudd. It really didn't take much, such an awesome trailer since day one just needed a few details to complete it. maybe one more thing... I'd like to install a green light on the reefer unit and wire that through the power switch and will show if power is on or not .

I did it!!!
To those who say you can't back one of these trucks into a tight loading dock... Your wrong! No video magic, after just a few off screen tries I parked the reefer!

So a few days ago 1985kenworth ( Dwayne ) commented how he runs the trucks any chance he can get at this time of year. Well it was 22C yesterday and I thought run the trucks one more time before packing up for the winter and make a new video.
Took a bunch of shots, put it together and ended up with this trucking oddessy
I'm still learning this Gopro camera... Videos seem to look like your watching through a fish bowl? They take forever to upload and need to be close to the action? Then the battery died and had to finish footage with the IPad

Thanks for looking.
