Trak Shak 240V UPGRADE (pics inside)

We have a similar setup in our Trak Shak.

Good to see you used a real socket for the power inlet and not one of these cheap caravan ones, you can buy a round plastic cover to go over the end of your extension cord that screws into the socket on your trailer making it more water proof and it stops the cord getting pulled out.

Awesome Matthew, I reckon I might get the same done to mine.

Hi Matthew, Great idea I'll have to do it to mine. Your quite right the lighting situation can get quite messy. There are a few questions though. The outside plug ins how waterproof are they. Say if you are going thru a deep water crossing. Do they ingest water. Do you buy them any hardware or do you need an electrical wholesaler. And the plugs inside would work fine for the fridges. I have 2xwaecos and I suppose you would use the 240v plug straight into the sockets. I have a C-Tek charger that I could charge the battery with and use the external charge plug wired directly to it. An external socket would be great for anylights as I can't see me using the ones inside the tray as I close the tray up at night and this would pinch the cords. This external socket would have to be really waterproof for water crossings not so much for rain. But you've given me some ideas and now I'll have to work on it.

Another question have you had your trailer weighed the gvm says 1350kg on mine and with the CT full with the camping gear in the tubs and 6 jerries full of water and the 2 gas bottles and 2 fridges empty I weighed in at 1440kg even before I put on my boat and motor.. If I travel with empty water tanks thats 120kg less I would be legal but have to leave the boat behind. I have the solar panels and full cage roofrack. I am going back to trakshak to see about which trailer this gvm is for. More problems .
So much to do and little time to do it. regards Peter
