Step 22: Day 22 - March 8th 2012

Today I received the new pump and faucet. the pump is submersible, and fits through the opening of any container (even milk jugs). You just drop it in the container and you have water at the faucet.

The pump is Whale GP1352.

This is the stain I'm going to use for the interior of the trailer.

The interior stained, one coat. Tomorrow I'm going to do a second coat.

I connected a 270 Ohm resistor for the reading lights on the positive wire (same wire that the light switch is on). The voltage coming from the battery is going to be 12V, the reading lights work on 4V.

Hmm. Just saw in the picture that the heat shrink insulation on the ground wire is broken. I'll have to make sure I fix that.

I've also used Polyshades and swear to never use it again! It was the most frustrating experience I have ever had applying a finish. Might work OK for small pieces, but I had a large piece and I couldn't get keep a wet edge and it kept leaving brush marks. The other problem is if you try to go over a spot, you get a darker spot because you're putting down more stain. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product!

I'm going to write my impression of this "instructable" at the beginning of the article, but I did want to make mention of the MinWax product you used. Polyshades is amazing stuff. I had my doubts when I first used it; it's every thin and acts JUST like stain, so I had my doubts about it "setting" to a good finish. Now that I've used it I'm really impressed. Few "one-step" products are truly this one step.
