    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Here is the e-trailer answer: http://www.etrailer.com/question-24223.html Looks like I will need to run a separate line to get more than a "maintenance" charge from the tow vehicle.

    Why aren't popup's more popular?

    There is something about the older pop ups that is so appealing. Not enough for me to own one but that one looks so good behind your rig with the flipped axle etc. And if momma is happy camping, all is well with the world.

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Gabe, I like to know how things work myself, and I am wiring the tow vehicle so its natural that I would want to understand how it ties into the trailer at this early stage. This is a great community of folks who like to share information and I like to tap into that and contribute where I can...

    Showers and Hygiene- How often? With what water?

    I am a believer in the KISS method. While I envy those guys that show up in a remote camp with a system tied into their radiator, or a kitchen nozzle coming from their trailer I dont envy them when that stuff breaks at the worst possible time it seems. So here are my KISS systems. I have...

    ^Jim, so your 5' walls are the key- 1' higher than a "normal" td. Thanks!

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Thanks guys. I will take a look at that link dawg. I guess I was thinking that power from the tow vehicle (and brakes) are gained through the 7 pin connector, but that is not the case?

    off road teardrop build and introduction

    The advantage and disadvantage of waiting for my frame to be built is that I keep bugging Matt with ideas you guys come up with for me .... Met with Matt on Saturday, he is building 2 on road trailers in his driveway right now. Lookin' good.

    The CrowsWing - Offroad Teardrop Trailer

    Jim, Loved the video, thanks for sharing it and your extensive knowledge. I am "borrowing" ideas from your build right now. Question, it looks like you have one door and that to put in the outside access to basement storage would not allow for a second door (assuming I want to keep the height...

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    How does the electrical charging system work from vehicle to trailer battery? I have the Jeep factory harness to convert the Jeep from a 4 to 7 pin electrical system, but still dont understand how to wire the 7 pin though the trailer batter to charge it while driving. Does anyone have a...

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Bill, I think I am going to go with one Sears Group 31 AGM for now. I may regret it but it seems like the safest bet for me. Bought it online last night for $198 OTD. Sears was giving a 20% on line discount plus I had some of their frequent shopper points to burn. Couldn't pass it up at that...

    Why aren't popup's more popular?

    Love those Jumping Jacks. If I were at the young kid stage of life that would be the #1 option on my list. At the almost empty nester stage instead, we want something with a comfy like home bed for momma that we can still take into remote areas.

    Why aren't popup's more popular?

    I owned one years ago with small kids. Set up was a 1 to 2 hour process, sometimes longer if I could not get it level. Because it always had to be broken down, everything when set up is at midget height. Makes my back hurt stooping all the time. Plus the wheel and hub fell off mine heading...

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    What is the best on sale price you guys have seen on the Sears group 31 agm? I was at the store yesterday and it was 10% off of $289, but they jacked the base price from $269 recently. I dont need it until after Christmas.

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Bill, Under the mattress storage is already on the list, but I guess I didnt think about how much easier it would be to access that storage of we put a couple of rv style hatches on the outside. The danger and advantage of posting in process projects here is that you guys always come up with...

    With all of 2 posts on this board, you may want to reconsider attacking a well respected poster here, and read the rules regarding comments on price in the for sale section. Bump for a nice fridge.

    Qualcom Sat Phone

    Works fine, I just don't use it any more. I used to have a pay-as-you-go emergency plan with Globalstar, now they only have monthly fee plans instead which are too rich for me. Bit if you're in the market for a sat phone, this is about as cheap as it gets. Looking for $125 but no reasonable...
