    Recommend a great, not just good, first aid kit.

    I have an Adventure Medicine professional guide kit. I added some extra CATs and trauma dressings in a separate bag. According to Adventure Medicine ,the kits are good for three years. When mine hits three years, I'll keep what I can and throw away the rest and buy a new kit.

    I have my local fabricator do any mods I need. I don't have rear jacks and have never seen the need for them. I added a ArkPak XO jack in addition to the stock jack. It is only there for emergencies.

    Practical barbecue grill solutions?

    In the Southwest, fire bans are pretty much a yearly occurrence. I only use propane. Easy and clean. From what I see with campsites with charcoal ashes and coals on the ground plenty of people don't care about the ban. Another thing I don't like about charcoal is most people leave the trash...

    Pro tip The breakaway brake battery is not charged through the 7 pin. Bottom picture is while plugged in and the engine running. I removed the battery and put it on a charger.

    We just completed the Utah Backcountry Discovery route. 744 mostly off road miles from Bluff ending at Bear Lake at Garden City. Temps from a high of 106 to a low of 36 degrees. The highest altitude we hit was just over 10,000 ft. Hours upon hours of rough roads and some rock crawling for fun.

    Another pro tip is I use fly paper on the ceiling and by the reading light to catch any bugs that get into the trailer.

    I found my roof getting harder to open . I used to be able to push with one hand and it would open but now I need to give it a hard push with both arms. If someone has a part number for structs please share.

    Check out Mission Overland trailers. No requirement to put down a massive deposit and wait a year to have the trailer made. You can pick A Mission Overland up at an RV dealer. I've had one for over a year and have been very happy with it. https://missionoverland.ca/
