    Sorry. Victron 75/10 bluetooth controller. I left one switch on the panel vacant for that reason. I will use that to interrupt the panel before the 75/10..... and also make sure the battery have been connected prior to panel connect. Thanks

    John on another note, would there be anything wrong with having my 50 watt solar panel hooked straight to the Vitron 10 amp Bluetooth controller, but connected via a disconnect switch to the battery. I have not before had a panel always connected, and my concern is before I connect the battery (...

    I was just wondering if there had been any changes to the portal. I guess I will wait and see.

    Anyone else having problems with uploads in the last few days? Now the site says picture too large. Was going to post a few pictures of the water fill port added, but 2.95 MB is apparently too much. Wonder what changed.

    What was the math regarding arm and moment. That looks crazy long. Also I presume the single bolt in the front is at least an 8.8.

    But you see.... mine started like that as well. I mounted the 12 gallon tank right in front of the box in the open space. It worked great and it was easy to fill. They make bigger tanks than the 12 gallon (valtera) An all you have to make is a bracket to hold it in place.

    I have the stock, what.... 33's the trailer came with, or at least I think it is 33's. In my case, adding the yellow plastic ramp blocks gets me the same height of the stock jack. That stock jack just scared me. Specially close to full extension.

    The 28 is 4 inches higher than level. I measured just over 24 inches height at the hitch when level. I tow with a 2018 f150 and it comes on and off with no problems. I can however see that sometimes it might not be enough. $10 blocks from wallymart. Raises another 6 inches. That is not on par...

    I considered both the 350 and 500 as well..... they all have the same lift and just varies in thickness.... and obviously weight. My thought were that as the Smitty sits high.... and as it appears many ausie trailers dont sit so high.... I would be putting quite the torque on it with just over...

    That looks great and functional. Well done.

    After installing the 750, I am very impressed about how sturdy the front of the trailer became. My personal opinion is that this is sturdy enough. Regarding the lift, I plan on using a plastic block if the 750 does not raise it enough. I would not want the extra 21 pounds on the tounge, but...

    XO 750 installed. The old very flimsy jack was 21 pounds. XO 750 says 41 pounds, but I suspect it is more like 35. Sorry but I did not weigh it before installing. Drilled 4 new holes and trimmed the bracket as it was protruding about 1.5 inches on top and bottom. I really like this beast. Were I...

    Tomorrow it will weigh a few more pounds as the XO750 tongue Jack will mount up.

    Right..... It have been a very pleasant but long road, and I am extremely happy with that little Smitty.

    I suspect loaded gross weight is just under 2000 pounds. Last I weighed it it was 1375 pounds after putting it together unloaded. The tongue weight displayed above is loaded except for the 12 gallons of water sitting right in front of the trailer box. I did weigh the tongue after putting it...
