Excellent trip report and really like your pictures! Thanks for posting it!

Well the cupboards and drawers are all full so where else would one keep his elephant? The roof is the only spot left! I suppose you are going to have some fancy place for your elephant!:26_13_1: Ok thats my rhino and not an elephant but they both need storage spots.

Thanks, appreciate that! Thanks , the actuators are identical in every way except...I think the jack screw pitch. My issue with the lower rated actuators was that over time they would not HOLD the load, no problem lifting the load at all, just that it would start to wind down as the...

This is true but there is also another potential problem with these panels and that is how they are being hooked up and what type of charge controller you are using. They dont produce a very high voltage. If you have hooked the two panels up in parallel where you are only getting the very low...

For sure!

Thanks Mike, I did read it and it actually states the weights on that technical data, for a 1/2" sheet that is 4'x8' is 10 pounds, pretty good and sounds like a product I will try using, so thanks for the info!

Those panels look great! What do you estimate the weight of that one single panel?

Thats a good way to do it, in that way having two tanks allows you to fill up some not so clean water if needed but still retain a clean water tank, also if a leak occurs in either tank there is redundancy and you will still have water, although it may be the less clean water. This way it...

I agree, looks good, when you get a chance a comment on what you think of the gator board for this use would be appreciated, like stiffness, compress-ability, weight with a glass and epoxy layer.......... I am looking for a product to make a washroom enclosure with and wondering about its...

There it was............gone!

Hey thanks, it is what its all about for me! And thanks guys for the compliments!

Sorry to hear about your problems, might I suggest you start a build thread and have all of these issues in one spot for continuity. Also, I agree with what Abitibi says concerning the water tank, the initial plan of using a diesel hot water coolant heater is a good idea, they are very common...

Thanks Mike, All is well and have a good thanksgiving, we will need to get together again soon, maybe to check this trailer out!

Here's a few pictures and links to a blog showing why singles are a good idea when travelling on rough roads, in the blog he had several episodes of rocks caught between the tires, one event caused enough sidewall damage that the tire was not repairable. By the way it's a good read in general...

you cant resign, you have to be voted out!

I think this exclusive club is discriminatory against older FG's and I am offended.:ylsmoke:

Mike, I use these actuators, http://firgelliauto.ca/400lbforce30inchstroke-p-71.html depending on the weight and stroke needed the higher weight capacity the slower they go, I find them reasonably priced and go for many cycles. The only thing negative I can say is as they age they...

Man! I thought you said you were lazy! Thats not looking lazy at all, keep it up! How did you get the truck out from under the camper with the tractor in the way? Slide it sideways?

While priming a Fuso the bleed valve needs to be open or it will not do anything, not sure if yours is the same, also I find that if the fuel tank is low it will not prime well and needs more persuasion like sucking it up the tube from the tank to get it going.

Eventually I guess, but seems to me like something might give before those wear enough to not grab, bearing, something?
