    Just building my 200 Series.

    Some more pictures from our trip. The Darsche 270 awning is great. It has guy lines that allow for water to drain off. The only issue is zipping the cover shut. The cover is about an inch too small. If the awning is not folded just right it will not zipper close. Even when it is folded...

    Well when I get to a hardware store I'll look into that. I do drain and rinse the tank after every trip.

    Well we detoured a bit to do the trail. It was great but in retrospect foolhardy to do it in a trailer alone. Much of the road is a single track either uphill or downhill with no passing room. At one point a guy in an ATV said he would go ahead and stop anyone until we got pass. That worked...

    Brunswick, Ga to Jackson Wy....

    My wife and I were in Jackson a couple weeks ago. It was packed. all the campgrounds within 60 miles were at full occupancy. The city of Jackson was overcrowded traffic was horrible. Most of the people working in the stores and restaurants were really nasty when it came to enforcing mask...

    Some pictures from the Magruder Corridor trail. 113 miles of rough narrow road. The trailer did well. I aired down the tires do 20 lbs. I think the next trail I'll go down to 15 lbs.

    My wife and I have been out for six weeks now. The roads are crowded as are the RV parks and campgrounds. There is really nothing to fear being outside and in the sun.

    I found out that the cap to fill the water tank is not dust proof. The fill neck fills up with dust after a short time on a dirt road. Unfortunately there's no way to clean that out before filling up with water. The dirt will just fall to the bottom of the tank so it should not be an issue.

    Trailer Security and the TrailerWatch 2?

    When leaving my trailer unattended, I use a pintle lock and wheel lock. Of course if someone really wanted it they could winch it on a trailer.

    Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

    I have a Mission Overland trailer. We are 6000 miles into our current trip. This picture was taken in the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming.

    WTB: Sleep-inside off road trailer-Mission Overland, Off Grid, Overkill, Boreas, etc

    Mission Overland makes trailers for immediate sale through RV dealers. I know many other trailer companies will make you a trailer after giving them a deposit and waiting up to a year. I own a Mission Overland trailer and one of the reasons why I purchased it was I was able to buy it...

    I thought I'd share how I secure the trailer when I'm away from it.

    Trasharoo with molle pouches

    Just keep in mind whatever you mount to that trasharoo is going to be covered with and filled with dust when you go off road.

    Scepter water can pump?

    I added a quarter turn faucet to my Scepter water can. Very simple.

    Camping in Bear country in Montana. went down the 34 degrees but was very warm and cozy without having to use the heater. Our view in the morning from the bear camera. Removing the dinette table and replacing it with a simple TV folding table has really increased the amount of usable space...

    That says the screenshot of my battery condition after driving for about 6 hours . today. My trailer battery does not charge off the 7-pin. I have a separate circuit which goes from the primary vehicle battery to the Redarc. We'll see what it's like in the morning.

    I have the battery that came with the trailer. Now today we're driving for about 6 hours so the battery should have a big charge on it. But even though , the voltage shouldn't drop that much so quickly especially having 150 watts of solar on it

    Here is the battery at 21:14. Think the battery is toast.

    I woke up this morning with my battery completely dead. No clue why. I previously spent five days camping with no issues and the worst educational systems. I had to use my jump pack on the battery to trick the RedArc into working and then I hooked my truck up they ran it for two hours. I...

    What vent? The heat comes through the vents the same as the cabin heater. Seems like that should not happen. Another thing I'll have to ask Mark about tomorrow.
