The Maxx fan will only draw more than the fridge if it's on its higher settings. On its lowest 2 settings it uses very little energy. In our teardrop we almost never have the fan on more than a 2 setting. We switched to lithium batteries and it was a life saver to us. We are lead acid battery...

It was so long ago, but I think we used a gallon of each part of the epoxy mix to do every panel on the CrowsWing. For what it's worth it's all held up very well for its 38,000 miles and 10 years of use Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

The mesh is the same material that dump trucks use to cover their loads. It's vinyl mesh and you'll need a heavy duty sewing machine to build it but it works better than flaps for gravel. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

We've lived in our home built all across the country, in black bear territory and grizzly territory. We've seen bears but they've never once bothered the camper. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

We live on the road, so the trailer is home. We lock it up and cable the wheels to spend a night or two in a rougher area than we like to take the trailer. As example, we left it on BLM lands outside of Monticello Utah while we camp and explored the Needles district in the Canyonlands. Elephant...

We tow a teardrop. The trailer has everything in it for a long term basecamp. Of course it has a bed, kitchen, fridge etc. It also carries an EZUp, camp table, chairs - everything for a basecamp for weeks. The truck carries a generator, extra gas, drinking water, backpacking stove, foods and...

We made a huge decision. With our new lifestyle of work camping, living on the road around the country and finding jobs and fun where we can we decided to sell the Tundra. Having one truck in storage, paying insurance and taxes didn't make sense to us. The CrowsTow aka Queen Elizabeth's Revenge...

I remember being in Wyoming for that snow! We cheated and got a hotel in Greybull to wait it out! Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

If anyone ever still reads this thread.... here's a walk through of our trailer and how we're living on the road (10 months now!) Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Honestly, things I don't need: a removable tongue. Adds complexity to the build, adds extra failure points. Make the tongue just long enough to jack knife the trailer and its perfect. I Use a max coupler exclusively on and off road. Gas cans mounted on the trailer Extra gas is always carried...

We've towed our trailer for 30,000 miles. 10000 this year alone. We've left the trailer hitched and unhitched in various gas stations, parking lots, campgrounds, and dispersed sites. We'll set up a game camera at campsites, but no one has yet been caught walking up to it after 8 years of travel...

We've been living in/out of the teardrop since June 2020. Our experience has been awesome and we've learned a few things about weather. Before this trip our trips were up to 11 days at a time and all sorts of weather was no problem. We've got an EZUp with walls, for rain and light snow...

I pull the pin and the chains and place them in a tote in the truck bed. The receiver side from the truck goes in the same tote, that way I'm not dragging it through the dirt and dust while exploring an area. Sometimes I'll put a cable lock through the wheels and suspension. The trailer side of...

Not to jinx myself but in 8 months of full time travel through the US, I've had neither a flat nor used the winch. Last time I used the winch was two years ago to move a tree from a forest road in virginia.

Our latest blog post. Our last days at Anza Borrego and the surrounding area. https://flightofthecrowswing.com/

We've started a simple youtube channel. It's videos of our hikes and daily life on the road. Here's a link to our Anza Borrego month

We've carried the Maxsa Escaper Buddies since we started this trip in June. We've recently gotten to try them out in sand. Successfully getiing a minivan, and a fullsize Ford campervan unstuck. They worked like a charm, with no damage to either the vehicles or the boards...
