Finally finished swapping to the Monroe shocks, and changed out the front jockey wheel for the big ARK that just detaches, and all 4 corner jacks for the bigger ARK ones that can actually lift almost 2000lbs each.
Time to head down to the beach for a week.
Yeah, definitely. So I've got a 2023 TRD Off-Road, it tows it fine w/o the WD hitch if you're OK porpoising down the road and don't mind the rear squat :(, so what I did was look through all of the WD hitches I could find, and found that the Equal-i-zer head on the 6000-+ hitches had a nice...
Equal-i-zer is installed, might have to lose the front mud flap, but it all fits and tows 100% better now on my Tacoma, no more squatting at all. Next are the Monroe shocks. Might have the WD a little over adjusted rn, but it's late and I didn't have the water tanks filled up.
We filled the tanks and then pumped it out into 5gal tanks using the front water spigot to measure.
I'm hoping the Equalizer hitch helps with the squatting, I'll find out in a day or two once everything arrives and the rain stops.
The divider seems structural for the seat tbh, the EG4 batteries might be a just drop-in and they already have low temp cutoff already in their integral BMS. An MPPT solar controller would be nice though.
We took it out for a trial run Sunday night and ran out of water so we had to come home...
Are your batteries not under the bench seat to the left when facing the back of the trailer? I guess I might have the older production of the Dweller 13:
Thanks, I should have looked instead of trusting that the dealership looked. It's there haha.
I'm so glad it's got a 50a plug on it. All of that power usage when the AC is on and the inverter is charging the batteries.
What's the generally easiest way to wire the ACs outlet into the...
Made it home with ours today.. The wobble above 65 is very real behind our Tacoma, but it towed fine at 65 or so the 50-60 miles home.
Next is the Monroe shock swap, and wiring the AC directly to the inverter and finish our off-grid internet setup for 5G/Starlink.
Does anyone actually know...
Yeah, I really hated having to deal with the arms on previous trailers. I ordered the Monroe 66440's to swap since that seems to be a nice cheap option that a few others have tried on here. ROA seems to be using a Fox shock, which I suspect is the Fox 985-24-003, but they're roughly 4x the cost...
I've yet to actually pickup our trailer yet, but it seems lots of people with the McHitch have combined it with a weight-distribution system which should provide some dampening of the roll axis as well as sway control, too.
Here's the ROA guys w/ a Black Series and a McHitch:
Yeah, pretty sure they're the same company. I found Rongcheng via looking around on importgenius/importyeti to see how these were being brought over, and dug from there.
This sounds pretty much exactly like what we just went through. We can still tent camp, and plan to, but having something like this gives us a nice "FOB" to camp more primitively from if we choose to. We're finishing up the purchase of our Dweller 13 today, and should probably be picking it up...
