Energy Upgrade to 2018 Jayco Hummingbird 17RK
First I added an extra exterior storage space/hatch left of curb entrance similar to the 2019 models. Should be like a 2019 now. Actually purchased it like new with the rubber 'ticks' on the tires! It has all options except bicycle carrier and Canadian specs.
2. Added 4 more hose carrier tubes (5" PVC), 20n rear bumper and two under frame next to Black and Gray waste.
3. Added storage tray between cookout arm and spare tire.
4. Upgraded single 20# LPG tank to dual 20# tanks.
Energy Phase
1. Upgraded to Dual HD 6V AGM batteries, isolation switches, proper fuses, 4/0 battery cable.
2. Built a drawer-like 100% slide out panel for mounting new electrics. Mounted:
A. PD-9280 converter (backup). Replaced WFCO panel with larger 30/50 amp dist. panel (no converter).
B. AIMS 4KW Inverter/Charger/Auto Switch.
C. Renogy Commander 40 Solar Controller with (2) solar panels on roof.
D. Misc monitoring displays on panel and in kitchen area.
My question is: I had back surgery and I need help to finish the project. Does any know of a someone who I could hire to complete this project. Estimated less than 1 week to complete. I can bring camper to him. I have drawings etc. to assist plus I'll be available as well. I can not find any one who is free to take on project. It's been 6 months. Remaining work is installing the electrical drawer panel and mount devices/wire, solar panels on roof.
BTW ... liberaal are the weight and loading specs on Jayco camper trailers? I am a little concerned about how much extra weight I am adding!
feel free to contact me anytime.
