I think that either is fine. We wanted awning left side to cover the kitchen, and tent over the right to cover the fridge. Covering the rear with the XL tepui would sit the tent sideways, sticking out quite a lot, and we have no need to cover the ack side, which is only opened for us when we set...

There is no way with the Tepui XL (96x72) that it could be placed with somewhat in the middle CG, that awning and tent would coexist.

If you have a local metal shop, see if you can pillage a 1x 1/2 inch aluminum bar. I cut it in 2 inch length. Drilled two holes for two M6x50mm bolts. I then "winged" the angle needed for the rod. Marked that angle on the top block. I then drilled that hole on the side for the rod to be inserted...

After our first outing with Smitty, we had a few tweaks to work. The rotating jack mounts in the back had to have the holes enlarged just about 0.5mm. Then next one totally got me by surprise and I have none to blame but myself. If I extend the awning I cannot use that side rain fly as the steel...

Perhaps a moot point here as well. Regardless, before we purchased our smitty, I was considering the exact same two trailers, as they about the same price, or at least very close. We ended up with the smitty, as the CVT was just a box. In our view nothing offers the features for the $$ the...

Those boxes looks really great on the Smitty. Welcome to the bonfire... :) PS: You can remove the little ring inside the locks for the side boxes so you can remove the key while in the " not locked" position. Might be common knowledge, but I sure as heck did not know that.

So Moab was full. Literally every campsite was taken along th Colorado river. So back to Junction we went..... then 90 minutes south to ridgeway,CO. Having a great time. ...

Thanks amigo. We shall see how it goes. It'l be an easy one along one of the cg's on the Colorado, just north of Moab. Anyone in the area, just look for the Danish flag. :) :)

I used the wholes in the frame that were already there for the purpose of facilitating wires. First I tried to use the rubber grommets you can by as inserts, but that was a mess, and I never got it to work. I instead used the 3/8 and 1/2 plastic wire tubing, and made it long enough so that is...

I registered my smitty in Nov 2017. Assembled it and went to the state patrol in Junction. As smitty said..... I left the rtt off and the trooper checked lights......asked what it was for. I said to haul my camping gear. Signed the paperwork and went to the dmv. Mesa county said $150 to plate...

Those pesky shaely rocks makes a mess of any hill climb. I have done many on two wheels, but know exactly what you were going through. Looks like you ended up in the pristine camp at the end of the day.... :)

That looks great Midnight. Third picture I thought you were at the base of the Guadalupe's.... :) :) Looked like a fun trip under the belt. Erling

That looks great. I like your table.

I have this unit. It does work with AGM batteries. https://www.amazon.com/ACOPOWER-HY-4x12-5W18V-50W-Foldable-Suitcase/dp/B06WWQHV2T/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1524513451&sr=1-5&keywords=50+watt+solar+charger

I am not sure if you were thinking of me when you wrote the above, but I will answer as if it was. I did take a minimalist approach to this. Thus the Engel which draws just under 3 amps the first few seconds after start, but then quickly goes to 2'ish amps, until it turns off. I expect a 30-40%...

I did not. Not yet at least. I tow with the mighty 2017 Ford Escape which yields 14.3 to 14.4 volt at the battery. Whilst it might not be a full 100% charge, It is pretty darn close. I agree that @ 14.1 you will not get a full charge, but as with many practical applications, it will be close...

I have a group 27 smaller battery in mine. Even with the tire now located aft on the trailer, tounge weight still have to be kept in check, so I chose a 23 pound battery, as I think it is big enough. That being the case, I saw no reason to increase the chance to " cook" the battery with a high...

Wynn, that is a beautiful trailer......and scenery. I can only imagine what a satisfying experience this first time out was for you. We are rolling ours out along the Colorado river just north of Moab this coming Friday.... Whooooheeeeee.

On the dc tow vehicle charging, there is no regulator. In reality the dc from the suv will honor current requested by the battery all the way up to 15 amps, and then pop the fuse on the tow vehicle. I replaced the wire from the trailer plug with 12 gauge. For lengths of 7 feet, i think the...

I used the pin that was used to charge the breakaway battery. I then ditched the breakaway battery box, and wired in the 27 amp hr trailer battery instead. No reason for me, to have two batteries.
