I haven't seen any issues posted regarding the new ones. I currently have one of the Gen 2's and the rim itself is substantially thicker then the Gen 1, I'm not sure what other design changes have been incorporated. AEV has been helpful and I am working with them on a solution.
Just an update for those that care, it's been over a year since I switched away from the NL to a Blue Sea 500 amp ML-ACR for my dual battery charging needs. I've been in all kinds of ambient temps, up to about 115 degrees and the system has worked flawlessly. I still suspect high under hood...
Not sure what kind of Jeep you have but if it's a JK you might want to re-think the NL system. A couple of us have had issues with them on the JK platform.

Thanks for kind words, it's been fun documenting the build.
I thought about doing the water storage in the bed, but I like having the option of using the trailer for moving large items. I think I'm going to go above the axle with a tank to keep the weight low.

I agree, that is just you :sombrero:
The Blue Sea ACR 7622 has a mechanical switch under the hood in case there is any "electronics" issue. I would also argue that automatic takes out the ever present "human error" factor out. While expensive doesn't guarantee reliability, neither does being...
Max coupler - earlier designs weren't as easy to hook up, but current design is a piece of cake. Haven't ever read of failure of a Max Coupler which is not the case for the Lock N Roll which is why I chose the Max Coupler.
Diamond Back update
I'm a bit buried at the moment but wanted to give an update on the Diamondback install and put up a few more pics.
I'm loving it so far, very happy with the purchase. Here are some things I ran into on the install. They are not issues just install notes for those with...
They actually have a model specific to the M101 trailers. I have to double check but I think it's called M101A3-SLEX. Regardless, they will have you fill out a measurement sheet. Shoot Jordan at Diamondback an email and he will get you set up. jsmith@diamondbackcovers.com

Roughly $1450 plus shipping. Pricey but very well made and they have great customer service. I had lots of questions over the course of a month and they responded quickly and thoroughly to all of them.
Congrats! It's an addiction so be careful! haha!
When I titled/registered mine at the DMV, the inspector didn't even check to see if the lights worked!
Looking forward to your build!
I've used one of these for years on the vehicle side, for trailers, bike racks, etc. My trailer side doesn't seem to rattle.
