Not Looking Good

[rob2020]

Hello Everyone
The picture that you will see is from my New in February 2020 Reflection 300 Rbts it looks the same now as after I got it home.
I can see that this will be a problem down the road as I was a Automotive mechanic for 30 years. My plan is to relocate all the wiring inside the storage compartment
and put in a proper box what are all your thoughts on that and has anyone done this. GD also must have run out of paint because it has surface rust which I will sand and repaint.

Thanks everyone.

I always wondered what the logic was for RV builders to do that. And now GD is no exception. For sure I'd be putting that in a water tight box.

You don't need to relocate it. You can buy an RV splice box that has a cover and tight seal. Bargman and Pollack make them. Bed them in dielectric silicone versus the oil based junk you and I know is a waste of time as it flows away in the heat of summer. I did this will several of my old TTs as this is common construction, unfortunately.

Are you traveling salted/brined roads or staying oceanside regularly?

You can thank Lippert for those lowest quality coating imaginable on the frame. I know exactly the product they use as it is made by a supplier of mine and its solids content is laughable. Nearly as laughable as the prep work before coating application!

No salt roads or ocean side. The dealer it came from is in Kelowna BC Canada and that is desert type place. I might do as you are saying clean all the connections and put is a box in same location. If I do that then I know any electrical problems down the road won't
inside the box and yes I agree on the dielectric which I have. Thanks for your input.

Here's the style of splice box I'm referring to:

Thanks just ordered on Amazon. Going to replace all the terminals solder and heat shrink dielectric and will be trouble free

I had the same issue and my solution using a hinged waterproof box I had on hand.

@rob2020
Where on the trailer is that?

Hmmmm
Can't find anything like that on my 2021 303RLS. Thankfully.
