Maude The AcuTrailer Update : EXPLOSION!

11/15/2021

Well! We had a bit of an exciting find when we went to work on Maude this weekend!

Among other things, we're getting ready to get the 12-volt electrical system all wired up. This includes all of the interior and exterior lighting. All of it will get connected to the battery, so we have lights whether Maude is plugged into shore power or not! This is standard in trailers, and it will be kinda sweet, since I'll still have lights even if the power ever goes out <3

So Mike was charging an extra battery we had. He hooked it up last weekend. 

When we went out to work on Maude, we were greeted by a fun sulphury smell and an exploded battery! It threw battery acid all over everything, including the back of Maude.

So Maude got a bath to wash it all off. The above picture is after her bath, but you can still see where the battery acid dripped down and stained her aluminum! We're PRETTY sure it'll all polish out.

Also exciting has been the amount of rain we've been getting! Unfortunately, we found a bunch of new leaks around the windows at the front, back and next to the door. **Sigh** SO! After getting a bath, Maude is getting caulked some more! Upon inspection, it seems like the rain gutters over the windows were at least part of the source, so Mike recaulked the top edges of the three windows. Hopefully that takes care of the leaks!

ALL of the rivets in Maude have been caulked at this point - EXCEPT for the ones around the base of the trailer that hold the outer skin to the track that's attached to the frame. While Mike was doing damage control, I started getting those rivets all caulked. It's going to take FOREVER, but the job is started now, which makes it easier to jump in and complete small sections ;)

Maude is just one hiccup after another, but we continue marching forward!
Until next time! <3 Becca
