FYI, I have matching 4runner wheels on my trailer but the threads are not metric so I have a different set of lug nuts (with shoulders or whatever the inners part is called) on my trailer.

I had replied on post #21 but since that time I have done several trips. We used a Cook Partner Steel stove at 30 F degrees when the wind was a steady 20 mph with gusts. It takes a little longer to cook things, but it worked. Two days ago it was 103 F, no wind and it worked just fine. I broke...

One thing I notice is it is not how many panels you put on top of your airstream, it is where you put them to gain the maximum amount of sun with the least amount of shade. I see so many airstreams with huge ac units, vents, antenna, and satilite dishes, which all shade your panels.

When you can purchase an entire charging system for less than you could buy the parts, it's usually crap.

I too use a combination of the two. Some crimp packages (APP for example) work so well, you shouldn't need to solder and some connection make sense to solder (inline wire runs). Find what works best for you and get good at it.

Thank you for the input. I was at my wits end trying to remedy this. I'll get the setup for the J560 and next time it causes me trouble, I'll switch it out. I could try the ezconnecter when I get rich.

We were just talking about getting a spare tent. Good to know!

I have a 4Runner and an having more than my fair share of truble with the seven blade harnesses that come stock with the truck. Because of the connector getting wet or corroding, I have intermittent connection. Yes, I've already replaced both sides in the four years I've been towing trailers...

If you are not married to the SAE connectors, you should try Anderson Powerpoles. You can get the parts for 10 awg wire with ease (link) https://powerwerx.com/anderson-powerpole-connectors-45amp-bonded they also make a waterproof receptacle...

I was ready to go with a shore power setup but haven't even been close to needing it. All this work really depends on what you want for your rig.

I have most of the system shut off when driving but the panels are charging while we travel. And I misread one of the several places about the Thermal sensor (not breaker) it shuts the unit down at 85C and restarts when it cools to 80C. I will have it propped open when camping on hot days.

I carry a thermometer too and will be measuring it throughout the warm days. For now, I can prop the lid open. I can't think of a way to vent it without letting all the dirt and dust in.

Maybe I'll see you Friday. I didn't know about the new class addition but it sounds cool. I added a 33 gallon tank to my JJ.

Yes, I was reading more about this and Morningstar is rated to 60C (140 F) A battery doesn't do as well. It looks like some venting will be on it's way.

Since I've been reading these threads, I've noticed that a few of the wiser members mentioned that you need to be careful how hot these setups can get. Well, Morningstar has a non resettable thermal breaker (I think) and am now concerned. We do most of our traveling in the West and Southwest...

Is she still mad at you? I think you have your work cut out for you. Great story.

us battery, group 27, 105 amps. I have remote lights, inside and outside lights, chargers through Anderson Powerpoles, 12v DC adapter and two USB 2.2 amp outlets. It runs a water pump and a Propex heater. It has really been nice. Edit: A couple things now that I'm thinking about it. Fuses on...

Harbor Freight box, just like yours Anderson Powerpoles rule! I have space for a second battery if I ever get suckered into getting a fridge (not likely). Renogy 100 watt suitcase that is attached to my trailer.
