    LED Work Light from Adventure Trailer

    I mounted mine rearward-facing on my roof rack. They help with reversing and camp setup after dark. Switched in the cab. Not as bright as the halogen fog lamps they replaced; however, a lot less power draw and the light is higher quality, and more evenly distributed.

    Partner stove ?

    Durable, and very easy to clean. Easiest to clean over any other stove I own. I agree on the 2 points: 1) Needs a windscreen 2) Could use tighter spacing on the grate sections for smaller pots, coffee makers, etc.

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

    I think its time for a Solar Panel

    I guess I was thinking that the temp inside the trailer, with the darker paint, would still be warmer than it used to be. This would make the fridge work a little harder than it used to. About the Two Zone wireless: will it trasmit data from the fridge to the truck while the trailer is fully...

    I think its time for a Solar Panel

    Dave, just curious about 2 things: 1) Was the trailer in the sun most of the time, i.e., no shade around? 2) Was this before or after you had the trailer painted a darker color? Regardless of how you arrive at the deicison to get a solar panel, I think it's a wise choice. The ability to...

    New CO guy w/old GM K10 and SnugTop topper

    Welcome to the site. Is it possible that the file size is too large? I know I get errors whenever I haven't resized the picture to create a smaller file. Just a thought.

    Engel Fridge

    Get the transit bag. I have the Optima 31M Blue Top that you're interested in. Run time depends on the weather (temperature). When it's hotter, I can only go about 1.5-2 days and still crank the car over, but probably not more than that. In the cooler climates or winter, you could probably...

    I think its time for a Solar Panel

    Talk to Mario about the Carmanah panels they sell. They even build a frame/ easel for the 80W panel. Also, lose the 110VAC coffee maker. That thing draws a ton of power. I think the range is from 1000-1500W at 110V. That's a minimum of 9+ amps not including the energy wasted in the power...

    Starting kids on skeet shooting

    Start with trap, short range. Then gradually move farther away. They don't move as quickly (from the perspective of the shooter) and don't require much lead. Then move to some skeet...preferably closer to the houses/throwers. Then gradually move them out to the high point where the shots are...
