Hi Fit2Xplore, we just used a simple wire joiner. If you like I can email you some pics if you forward your email add. Alternatively, you can just solder and heat shrink the two wires. Hope this helps.
Not at this time. We haven’t had any trouble with it so far. If you are thinking of removing it be careful when putting up the tent not to over stretch the material, otherwise it will tear.
Ba Ha, don't think you'd be joining negative & positive wires. Just to clarify, that's not what they are. 😉 (no, I'm not trying to be a smart arse, I just need people to know you don't join Neg & pos wires together, that = a blown fuse or worse, a fire)
I won’t go into the technical side of it, but it’s ok and safe. It has been adopted by a lot of suppliers on the east coast of NSW, who got sick of people putting in claims re the tent not closing properly. If you need a technical explanation, I’m sure I could arrange it for you. I got the idea from my cousin who is a electrician. I’m sure he wouldn’t put me or anyone else in any sort of danger.
Hi, I think they have just bypassed the switch positive side to other side side of switch which is exactly what happens when contacts are closed which means the circuit is complete. The negative is on the other side of the motor. Cheers Out There Touring.
I’ve got this exact problem and this is the only video I’ve found. I like this idea but I’m hiring mine on my vehicle and sadly don’t trust the users. Any other ideas to get the tent down and then stop apart from this?
@@StoneUnknown Hi Jacob, Sounds like you may need to replace the switch then as there would be no other way of getting the tent motor to stop automatically at point required. If the switch is bypassed as per outa blues recommendation then you are relying on people judgement which is not reliable especially if you are hiring out. Cheers Out There Touring
Not that we know of, maybe do a little vid showing the user, roughly when they should stop the button. The winch strap is glued and riveted to the winch, drum, so if it’s slightly over wound it won’t fall off the drum.
My Bundutop tent stopped going down. I saw this limiter switch was actually below the winch belt...I tried to place it above and the flimsy metal just snapped off. So I was going to try solder it back on but thinking your solution would be better. Out of interest what made you decide to delete the limit switch?
Sorry about the delayed response. The tent wouldn’t always go down far enough, so just removed it all together so much better. If you do the little mod, just remember to take your finger off the button once the tent is closed. You will never have another issue again.

Hey guys do you have any more info on the joiner you used to connect the wires too?

Hey guys, just wondering if you’ve done the same thing with the other limiting switch attached to the arm?
