    24v solar for Adventure Trailer

    Yeah I see your concern, I'm aware of the size. I have handled them a bit for an off grid home install. The panels i'm looking at are 65" x 40" and closer to 40# each. I'm 6 '-5" tall and 300# so they are easy enough to handle. I have been thinking of a system which allows me to stack them...

    24v solar for Adventure Trailer

    Hi all, I am planning a 4 to 5 month cross country trip next Spring. We have a Jeep JKU and will be hauling a trailer with RTT. I will be working during the trip and have some fairly considerable loads for the required electronics. I have been focused on keeping our set-up as light as...

    Digging the stove set-up. I am building a "drifta" style pull out kitchen like Midnight Sun. I am planning to gut the 2 forward compartments and copy Drifta's DPOR kitchen. Thinking the simplicity, flexibility and potential heat output of that double burner set-up will work nicely for us...

    It's less than $500 if you order through Home Depot. Complete. If you have a generator capable of 2,000 to 2,500 watts you will be fine. Going on mine for sure....

    Tkhawk - I noticed on Climate Rite's website they sell a cover for the unit. I did not inquire about specifics. I'm planning to fab a cover.

    Not much movement on here lately. Everybody out camping? Anybody willing to take a few measurements for me? Easy stuff. I'm wanting to plan a few things while in Panama for my return in the spring. Any help would be appreciated.

    From the research and recommendations i would say very close to the same sound levels. I have seen some video comparisons using some quality db meters in a fairly controlled environment and it was quieter than a Honda 2K. I paid $699 with a coupon and then added the 3 year warranty for $100. I...

    I have always wanted an LS swap, but has a spare 3.8 with trans with 40 miles on them from a friends Hemi swap. Unfortunately, that is here in Panama now and not much use to me in the USA. I understand tuning can be finicky sometimes, but I believe they have it mostly sorted now. Kitchen -...

    Hi all. I am looking to build a kitchen slide-out to replace the Generator drawer. I am considering having the drawer extend all the way through the trailer, eliminating the silly drawer and shelf they come with on the other side. Since I am in Panama until spring, I would like to get moving...

    Unfortunately, no. Still in the box and I ran out of time to install it while in the USA. I will need to install it right away when I return and get some miles on it to get the tune dialed in. The Sprintex has been around for a while now and despite some initial tuning issues, I understand...

    I spoke with DJ @ Smittybuilt and he has got me all sorted out with immediate shipment of some parts I had issues with (due to crossed electric brake wires) and indicated that I am in the que for the tongue reinforcements. I have been extremely pleased with Smittybilts customer service related...

    I am thinking of of running air lift bags

    I like to over complicate things, LOL. I am needing to add bags to compensate for my new trailer tongue weight. I have onboard air and like the idea of being able to adjust on the fly. Anybody know of a system that has an option for this? We are planning a 12K mile trip in the spring. We...

    LOL, gotta keep the grundies washed. Have seen these in action. AMAZING for a cheap little machine. Its the spin dryer that seals the deal, I cant imagine trying to wring out clothes. Need it for a 3 month trip to be able to pack as light as possible... You could do some undies and several...

    Hi All - Been following this thread since July. We live in Panama and spend a few months a year in the USA. I ordered the trailer through Northridge on July 7th and used the sharktank coupon and had delivered to door for $4,500 (no wheels & tires and arrived in 3 weeks to CT). Very happy with...
