I'd be all over that for the right price.

Located where in TX?

I should add that I take 3-4 plastic floor squares (sauna flooring) to use in the shower "room." They also work great outside a tent or trailer to knock the rough stuff off your shoes.

I've tried several different things over the years (decades?!). Solar bag in a tree, Nemo with a foot pump, partner pouring hot water from the stove over my head.... My current solution is one of the tankless, on-demand water heaters on the side of the trailer but with a long enough hose that...

Another low budget approach is to use a hula hoop (or length of PVC pipe) and a shower curtain. You can hang it from a tree or your roof rack.

I'm cheap too. I don't like the cost, the weight or the wind drag. One other thing I don't like is having a mud pit right next to the vehicle. So do you stand in a kiddie pool and, if so, then what do you do? I have a cheap pop-up tent located away from the main area of camp.

I wish I had the skills to do something like it.

I'm not seeing any pictures in the last post. Is it just me?

Great work! I love to see this kind of DIY.

If we're going to be that picky about terminology then you should understand the difference between the terms "promotion," "advertising," and "marketing."

Ollie, I appreciate your posts and your willingness to put up with the "experts" that rarely have anything positive to say. For every author or creator there are 1,000 critics, especially on the internet. We can all agree that the term "solar generator" is not strictly correct but I really...

It will work just fine. I have that style on my trailer and the same solar panels.

I would use a standard solar port:

I'm another fan of putting the fridge in the tow vehicle for both weight distribution and accessibility issues. We like to set up a base camp with the trailer and then explore harder trails (or go fishing or hiking) during the day. Another thing that may not be obvious--even forest service...

I understand but since they attach to the body, not the frame, there is a good chance your truck will be damaged if they are. It's not a problem if you stay out of the rough stuff. How about some more info on the trailer?

I like it and LOVE that trailer. But, if you're going to play in the rocks it is a matter of time until those steps get ripped off or bent.

I use industrial strength Velcro. Pound it on with your fist and after a while you cannot remove the plate without bending it.

This is mine mounted on the fender under the hood but before I wired it to a switch inside the cab. After wiring: Plumbed to the front bumper. That location is less precarious than it looks in this photo and is about 20 inches off the ground.

Sounds like your past the idea phase and ready to execute. I've done the same thing with a much larger Viair.

Very cool! Would love to see some more pictures.
