@henderson.341 Attached is a PDF with the details of my tongue mount for the 1Up bike rack. After several years, I can say there is nothing I would change. It has worked out great. The only additional change I made was mounting a pair of hooks on the upper receiver to hang cables, hoses...

You're not overthinking it. The Dwellers have a ridiculously stout frame, however it is possible even with the stock steady jacks to twist the frame on my D13 enough that the ensuite door binds a tiny bit.

Look at my post #95 and #96 in this thread. I welded a 2-inch hitch mount vertically on the tongue cross member then fabricated a riser for mounting the 1-up. I’ve been hauling bikes on this tongue mounted rack for 3+ years and 15k+ miles. It has worked out great.

They are both Victron remote control panels. One is for a Victron MPPT solar charge controller the other is for a Victron smart battery monitor. The remotes are fine for backup, but I have found the smartphone app is much easier to use for monitoring and control.

Yes I did relocate the temp sensor. It works so much better now. All of the cables were plenty long for relocating with no splicing. This was the best upgrade that I did this season.

Agreed!

The shock bolts are 16mm diameter. You can use a 5/8 inch bolt and have no problems. You will need to measure the length.

On the topic of winterizing, here is my basic procedure for winterizing my D13. Drain both fresh water tanks. I pull the main drain plugs on each tank with a 41mm 6-point socket. Briefly run the pump, with a faucet cracked open, and alternate the supply valve to ensure the supply lines from...

I purchased my D13 in 2021. I've winterized and de-winterized for three seasons now. In addition, I have run the tanks dry on several occasions. It took a few times for me to get the hang of priming the water system. My D13 came with a Seaflo 42 series pump. I think that is what they are...

My 2021 D13 did not come with a front Anderson connector. It did have the same 50 Amp breaker which on my trailer was connected to the 12V+ on your 7-pin trailer connector. I now have Anderson Power's SBS X-75A sealed waterproof connector with 4 AWG cables on both sides. I replaced the 50...

Thanks for sharing this. You certainly are not over reacting. I can only imagine your disappointment as you discovered this. For all the reasons you mention, this looks like one of the most unprofessional commercial (or DIY) electrical installations I have seen. Kingdom Camping was on my...

Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to explore BB State Park. - Is Las Burras an out-and-back or a loop? - If it is out-and-back, did you have any issues coming back out? One comment on your towing set-up - If you are planning to keep towing with the Taco, or anything else for that...

Several people on the FB group that camp in hotter climates have installed secondary rooftop AC units. I really only cool things off when sleeping and have found the HB9000 under bed unit to be satisfactory when the outdoor temp is under 90F. I have done some minor modifications to the under...

No issues and I have pounded mine pretty hard.
