Had to take a few months off from working on the trailer to do some home improvement projects. Since they have been completed I have been able to get back on the trailer and install the tent and power panel. I plan on using the trailer on a trip soon so this will help me figure out what I need to change.
Picture of tent stored inside trailer. I installed the tent this morning and will open up and take pics later.
and installed
Power panel has a 30A MPPT controller that is connected to 2 100W solar panels and a 100Ah AGM battery. I plan on making a batter box for the outside of the trailer but for now the battery is stored in the back of the trailer.
My next project is to do the gas struts for the doors. I have been going through a number of online calculators trying to determine the stroke and size needed for the doors. After doing some mock ups I found out that I need to modify the rear door area to fit the gas strut. As for the force of the strut I have decided to go with an option from a company in the UK called Camloc, they have distributors in the US. This company makes struts that are provided at their max force setting. Once installed the user can release pressure on the gas strut using the provided tool on a valve located on the strut.

Still need to do more research on the struts thou.
